Which One or Two Ideal Teams Would You Add to the Big 12?

Conference realignment is wacky. It's taken geography, spun it on its head, and spit out some random conglomerations of teams that have to play each other every year. The Big 12, a relatively centralized conference at its core, has teams spanning from Utah to West Virginia. It's a crazy world that we're all struggling to keep up with, but we'll…

No, that's not our editor's critique of my work so far for Rock M Nation (although it would probably be a fair assessment).

Why UConn football should join the MAC

Last week, Army announced that the school will forgo its longstanding football independence and join the American Athletic Conference as a football-only member beginning in the 2024 season. As a result, UConn, UMass and Notre Dame are left as the only independent schools in FBS football. Notre Dame, however, is a partial member of the ACC, which…

Should the Big 12 Conference just rename itself the Pac-7? Just a few days ago, conference Commissioner Brett Yormark seemed to make a definitive statement that the conference would not expand further. Yormark essentially said that the conference had executed its vision for expansion and wasn't interested in adding more. And yet on Saturday, a new…

Colorado doesn’t change Big 12 basketball much. Unless it’s just the first domino

College basketball coaches love to brag about their league. It's an annual pastime as the NCAA Tournament approaches, because the goal is to get as many teams in the tournament from their league as possible. An NCAA Tournament appearance equals job security. For the last decade, the Big 12 has been the best league in college basketball. The…

What appeared to be a football scheduling slam dunk a year ago is no longer a layup as the SEC spring meetings convene this week in Destin.

Pac-12 should be concerned about visibility, not value compared to Big 12 as new media rights deal nears

Those hung up on the value of media rights deals at this point aren't asking the right questions. Whether the Pac-12 makes more than the Big 12 isn't the issue. It has become less about money and more about visibility. The advantage of the Big 12 jumping the line to sign a new media rights deal with ESPN and Fox last month at least secures the…

Why conference realignment might force the NCAA Tournament to expand to survive

College basketball's best defense against expansion could, ironically, be expansion. In January, the NCAA's transformation committee floated the lead balloon, arguing that for sports sponsored by at least 200 schools, at least 25 percent of the teams ought to have access to the championship.
