No now big 12 fans have a reason to visit Colorado during the fall

If all they get is Colorado then it’s meh, but if they add Washington Oregon and Arizona State with them that’s a different story and suddenly the Big 12 is a respectable conference again.

Everyone laughs at the Big 12, or whatever theyll be called after Oklahoma and Texas split for greener pastures. Now they are bringing in Colorado, a school better situated for the Mountain West, which will significantly diminish the appeal of this dying conference. Colorado does NOT have a baseball team. Colorado’s basketball team was consistently bottom half of the Pac standings Colorado football is arguably the WORST current Power 5 program (their 44-73 record is the worst of any P5 school to be changing conferences in the last 10 years). This is a huge L for the Big 12, but I guess they are desperate to get whatever they can to atay afloat.
I’d say PAC-12 losing USC, UCLA, and Colorado with significant fears of losing Utah, Arizona, Arizona St., Oregon, and Washington all while not having a media rights deal is a much bigger L

I honestly don’t understand why any northern schools keep baseball. With it being played in the winter and spring, they are setup to fail. College baseball needs to be moved the start of the season back a month in a half.
Minnesota and Michigan have had success in baseball even winning the college world series. Minnesota has 3 and Michigan has 2. In the Big Ten winning the conference and making a decent run in the college world series is a successful season. A lot of division II and division III teams in the North have college baseball. There are challenges with the weather and funding but you have Hall of Famers who played college baseball in the North like Robin Roberts at Michigan State. Michigan has a history of good players in Barry Larkin and Chris Sabo and Jim Abbott.
Northern schools put the resources Southern schools put into baseball into hockey. It's not a bad trade. If Northern schools put more money with indoor facilities and travel to Southern schools in February and March it could be more successful. If Big Ten schools made midweek February trips it could work. I think LSU fans would rather see Minnesota or Michigan or Michigan State on mid-week instead of SLU and McNeese in my opinion.

Ehhh, those are local schools with typically LA kids on them.
Now if you were to say any other small time out of state school 100%, but the Louisiana schools typically draw big crowds

Wisconsin baseball was also a Tile IX casualty but wasn't popular when they last had a team (early 90's) with a couple hundred fans a game and poor facilities. It was also a sizable drain on the athletic department so an easy choice to cut loose.

yeah that's true. I guess when I was at LSU, I'd rather see Minnesota or Michigan instead of USL at the time.

Wisconsin doesn’t have one

If he has any success there, he'll be gone within 5 years and Colorado will go back to being Colorado.

not even in the same Galaxy as Kansas.
Rutgers is also worse than Colorado.

It's comical how some posters still believe the Big XII is "dying" after securing a new media rights deal worth more money, and adding 5 new members in the last year. Meanwhile, the Pac 12 is publicly committing seppuku. I believe more and more that San Diego State decided to say no to the Pac 12, not the other way around.

Really not sure why Colorado thinks this is a move up. The Buffaloe's changes for the playoff would be a wash in either conference.
Maybe recruiting. If the buffs want into the Southeast market then the footprint will lead that way.

And that simply isn't a work in progress? The Pac-12 will not have a TV contract?

I'd assume CU is privy to how great those ongoing conversations have been going between the PAC-12 and ESPN/fox.
The pac-12 has had a shite TV contract for the past few years. Now they are negotiating without USC while Disney is making cuts. Big 12 was absolutely the right move.
They regionally still fit, some old rivals, and can recruit texas again.

Yeah their TV deal is going to be a joke. Probably going to end up with some streaming crap or something like Paramount.
