K-State Football
K-State's defense will get its biggest test of the year Saturday against Baylor.
KU recruited Robert Griffin III. Damn shame he didn't choose to go there. In yet another showing of brilliant planning and strategy, Ron Prince chose not to recruit Griffin. Gold star there, Ron.
Brian Butler says Bryce Brown is still with the K-State program. Funny that he wasn't at practice this week if he's still with the team. I wish him the best in getting whatever personal issues he's going through resolved, but that doesn't sound like "with the program" in the sense that I understand it.
With Brown out of the picture, John Hubert will take charge. In other words, it's exactly as it was before.
Conference Realignment
On top of The Upset Blog's report that BYU has agreed in principle to join the Big 12, there are rumors of a Big East mass exodus including TCU, Louisville, Cincinnati and West Virginia to the Big 12.
Sam Mellinger makes the point that needs to be made about Missouri considering the SEC. If Missouri is interested in the SEC but is still using that as leverage to get changes made in the Big 12, which is still an assumption at this point, then we should all be on Mizzou's side. The Big 12 may survive without Missouri, but it's better with Missouri.

The Big 12 as a Survivor episode....sounds like a farciscal piece to be written.
The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather in a lack of will. - Vince Lombardi
Are you asking about a merger
with B/East, i.e., L/ville, Cincy, TCU and W.Va.? I am gun shy on all this. But assuming Mizzou stays, and we go to 14, I like it, alot. Some ideas:
That 14 would make for a very good tv footprint. Gets the conference into the Ohio River Valley and all the way to D.C.
Divisions:
Black – Blue
1. UT- OU
2. T/Tech- OSU
3. Baylor – TCU
4. Cincy – KU
5. L/ville – KSU
6. BYU – Mizzou
7. W. Va – Ia.State
Football rules: Play all in your division (6 games); each school plays its opposite on the list as permanent cross divisional rival, and that game does not count toward division record to determine division champion; play on a home and home two teams from the other division on rotating basis.
oh hail the Purple and White
I want our cross division rival to be West Virginia.
Take THAT Bob Huggins!

That too,
but road trips to L/ville much more fun. And cross divisional rival really only applies in football. I assume rules in basketball would be much the same as B/12 when we had 12 teams. So we would play Huggie Bear at Bramlage every other year.
oh hail the Purple and White
I imagine KU would stake claim to Louisville
Imagine those football games. They might have to change the fight songs to Yakkity Sax.

How would you do an end of season basketball tourney bracket with 14 teams?
Last place team from each division doesn’t get an invite? Then, 12 team bracket, just like old big 12 tourney?
oh hail the Purple and White
Just make a 16 team bracket with the top 2 seeds getting byes
Just like the b12 did with 12 teams/4 byes.
3 road trips in easy driving distance to Columbus, yay!
2 hrs to Cincy, 3-3.5 to the Ville and Morgantown. Love it.
Or flip TCU and BYU
in other words, put TCU with UT, Baylor and Tech, and L/ville. Cincy and W.Va in one division. Put BYU with OU, OSU, Ku, KSU, Mizzou & IaSTate. That way, all the old SWC conf schools and B/East schols are in one division, and all the old B/8 schools are in the other. But to create competitive balance in the divisions, I think we have to seperate out OU and UT, and allow for the permanent cross over rival game. Otherwise, you have that old “well, the south is better than the north all the time” drivel.
But I really want our cross over rival in football to be Louisville, if we can get it.
oh hail the Purple and White

I really like Louisville and Cincy, and I'm okay with WVU and BYU (they're just so far away!)
I really don’t like TCU joining our league, and I don’t think there is anyway for me to be happy about that.
Anyway, I think that would be a fine conference, but I’d prefer geographical divisions, even if that meant the Big 12 north would stretch for more than half the continent.
Here’s hoping the Cats kill a certain Texan’s Heisman hopes.

I think if that happened,
divisions would be East and West. Or Rapscallions and Rascals. One of those two options.

I'm with you...
I like adding WVU or BYU seperated from eachother, but I don’t like the idea of WVU AND BYU being in the same conference. I say go one direction or the other…and distances to the East are shorter.
Though BYU is a bit of a sexy loner, though palagamy may not work in my favor…

WTF, don’t we want to include AFA into this? Great academics, fans, and exposure. adequate sports, sometimes in Top 25?

What about the IIFI?
That’s the Iowa Institute of Farm Implements for those scoring at home.

They play Iowa State every year for this trophy.
No one’s really sure what it is, but the theory is it’s meant to be what a farm implement looks like after a cyclone hits it.
