I knew Arizona belonged in the Big 12. We fit. I am excited for Arizona this coming school year. Still, it is important to be a part of a conference that let us know we belong. That did not happen in the Pac-12. I will be following the next school year. I will be cheering for Big 12 schools when we aren't playing them. I really believe this is a great fit. Texas Tech will be a big rival.
The media likes to create a villain of coaches or personalities who are controversial or unique like Deion. The reality is Sanders has brought a fresh personality and market to college fball....brings excitement and interesting style. Look at the numbers and ratings he has created at Colorado, his brand, and social media engagement. Not all coaches can sell, market, or change programs. And he took JSU from 4 wins to 11 its second year. There's a lot of talk and curiosity around that program and I think it helps grow the interest.
Its better to be in the the fish tank than on the outside looking in.... late the haters hate... its all attention on the Big 12 .... let's make the game more fun to watch....
Private Equity is poison. The investors and management get rich while the consumers suffer . Why is PE bad? Use the analogy of updating a home. A home owner cares what it feels like to live in the house long term. A PE firm in NYC will stuff as many people as possible into the home and minimize maintenance. PE ownership will include: - brands stapled to every surface (fields, uniforms, etc). - possibly the “Ozempic Big12 Conference” as branding - Money Managers pressuring a coach to play the more marketable guy - Private companies owning portions of state institutions
Viewer growth since December 2022? Say, “Thank you Coach Prime.” Unbelievable. Though Colorado was in PAC-12 so how many sudden viewers? Top 3 conference then why would you even consider “Wednesday Night” football with the MAC? Nellie? Thats funny happened after all the people who were showing up for Colorado’s games. Guess a hell of an idea you had? 🤣😂
College football is in a terrible place ATM. Some of these players should not be playing 7 seasons of college football. Years ago these players would be looked at as “special people with needs” 😂😂 As far as all you people talking and hating CU ? I did like Deion at times with his outspoken arrogance. Well he is heading north and can get a lot of talent in. Yup 4-8 hate from last season is real. I’m betting those type of commentators won’t say that comment next year, but they will comment hate on CU next season for something else. It won’t be 4-8 though. As far as this conference it’s 3rd or fourth class. Still good football and fun to watch though.
Nobody cares Texas and OU are gone. You know who constantly talks about Texas and OU being gone? BINGO! Texas and OU fans. Go enjoy being mediocre in the SEC. Especially you Texas, you were mediocre in the Big 12 the last decade so it will be a normal feeling for you.
