quote:
PHOENIX -- In almost a complete reversal from last week, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said Tuesday his league has little interest in adding a conference championship game.

The conference had been the only one among the Power 5 left out of the first College Football Playoff. It is also the only major conference that does not play a conference championship game.

Last week Bowlsby said during the CFP spring meetings the Big 12 was at a "disadvantage" if it didn't add a 13th game. The statement came after a source said Bowlsby "pushed" CFP selection chairman chairman Jeff Long for clarification on why either TCU or Baylor was left out of the top four.


Those b-stards still can't get their story straight. Bowlsby goes to the playoff meetings, finds out what they need to do, talks about it, then goes to the Big 12 meetings and those dipsh-ts c-ckblock him and make him look stupid

Better run, Bob, before you end up another fall guy and the junior partner at Beebe Consulting

This is so simple. Make a new Big XII rule that every coach and AD gets a bonus regardless of record in the Big XII. Thus this whole pesky winning a CCG thingy doesn't hit them in the pocketbook.

As it stands now, they cling to their 9 game round robin, cut the overall SOS possibilities in half and screw the play-off committee, they won't have a CCG.











I love, love, love it!! Such idiots.

The reason they have "little interest" is because the NCAA told them to go pound sand. My opinion.

While a championship game would indeed give one extra Big 12 team an impressive win, as Bowlsby himself has said in the past, there's no guarantee it's the right team. Just ask 1996 Nebraska, 1998 Kansas State, 2001 Texas or 2007 Missouri.
What a load of crap. Bunch of cowards.

That is why the "lesser" schools (those not t.u. or OU) better start looking for new homes for once the GOR expires, so will the BDF.

This is so easy to figure out it isn't even funny. A CCG does not help the chances of a 1 loss Texas or OU team getting in the playoffs. It only helps the little 8. Ergo - no CCG.

You want to know what else is easy to figure out?? Ditch the round robin. Don't need divisions, just reduce the number of conference games. Beef up OOC schedule.

Hilariously, he left 2009 Nebraska off that list. Patterson will be proud of t.u.'s dutiful little *****.

The big 12 is a fractional league.

10/12 members
1/2 champions
1/1000000000000000000 viewer ratings, draft prospects, respect, etc

Translation - Patterson called and said the BDF isn't interested in a championship game.

These aren't BDF droids you're looking for.

The 12 think that with an easier schedule at least 1 of them will have no losses. Not likely, but OK. Then they reason that without any losses they are a lock to play in the playoff. With 4 other conferences at least one of the teams will have a loss. First, the committee won't give them that easy pass, since they don't have a conference playoff. Second Notre Dame would pass them up if they don't have any losses. They may never make it into the playoffs.

What the idiots don't understand is that they need to add at least two more teams, and possibly four. Their league is incomplete.

WVU made a mistake and will be gone as soon as they have a place to go. So they better add some eastern teams to help prevent this.

The ACC might have taken them over Louisville after Maryland left. And UCONN would probably be a better add if the ACC ever expands again, but I think Syracuse, BC, and Pitt would throw a fit about that.

WVU is hard to get excited about for any league. And they have to ask themselves if they would have been better off staying in the AAC; and everyone in the XII except tu probably wonders if UH would have been a better add instead of WVU.

What a cluster fk. Glad we don't have to worry about it.

Just wait until this happens: TCU beats Oklahoma, KSU beats TCU, Oklahoma beats KSU.

Now, the Big XII will scream that they are entitled to and deserve three spots in the four team play-off.

Hey Big 12. The reason your POS conference was left out of the playoff is that ****ing BAYLOR won it. How can you expect anyone to give Baylor any credit when, out of shame, even YOU wouldn't even give them the title.

What's funny is 17% of votes cast came from people that really thought they could help their team by propping their ****ty conference up on an internet poll.

I'm egarly anticipating the alcohol filled incoherent ramblings of Randolph Duke and his pathetic attempts to defend the honor of the BDF conference.

I was shocked to realize WVU sponsors only 5 Men's Sports.


Football
Basketball
Baseball
Swimming & Diving
Wrestling

No T&F
No CC
No Tennis

Adding Golf next year, because I think the BXII requires 6 sports.

Their ace player is already getting a few practice rounds in.
