You can thank UT and the Longhorn Network as to the reason for the fall of the Big 12, just like they had a heavy hand in the fall of the SWC Also A&M never had plans to move to the Pac-12. There is a long history of A&M trying to get to the SEC that goes back to the end of the SWC.

[@Sloppyplane37]

A great video, fun fact with New Mexico is they were invited to the big 12 along with BYU in 1997 but turned it downed to stay in the WAC that they founded. Big 12 has the name Big 14 trademarked still hence one of the reasons the big 10 never changed its name outside of branding

[@lukeontheplains]

I knew about that! There was a newspaper article I sourced that stated that the only way the Big 12 would have expanded that early (they'd have by far been the largest "power" conference at the time) was if they had BYU and another school as big as BYU-or "two BYUs" as they put it. Reading between the lines here, it's clear they thought of UNM that way

[@Sloppyplane37]

@@lukeontheplainsIt’s a shame TCU was not as competitive in the mid to late 90s as they were in late 2000s, they almost certainly would have got in with BYU. Man that would have been a great conference with BYU as a west coast power coming off that title in the 80s.

[@randycrownover5580]

I don’t think Texas ever signed off on New Mexico. NM was more of an interesting diversion, but never got the highest approval. If NM had truly been offered into the B12, I feel certain acceptance would have come immediately, along with Dionysian celebrations.

[@nathanporrata9274]

I've been a huge Nebraska fan my whole life. I remember the Big 12 fondly but Texass ruined the conference. They treated it like a fiefdom and forced the conference to appeas them. We had to get out. I remember clearly the big fear was being left behind if the conference fell apart. Also, to not mention the 2009 Big 12 conference championship game where the refs pit a second back on the clock to give Texass the win, I think that game solidified anti Big 12 sentiment in the fanbase. It did for me at least

[@adamg5193]

Hit the nail on the head. Worst thing the Big 8 did was assume Texas would stay as equals with everyone else. I'm glad Mizzou was able to get out, even if we have to take the most flack from old and new conferences

[@dacryptkeeper6836]

I blame Nebraska for the collapse of the Big 12 as a powerhouse conference! It was the Huskers' departure for the Big 10 that led other teams to abandon the conference (Colorado, Missouri & Texas A&M). With Oklahoma and Texas now moving on to the SEC; what was once a powerhouse, will soon be irrelevant. How long before it goes the way of the Southwest Conference and the PAC 12???

[@jackdaddyslim3895]

GREAT VIDEO. This is the Type Of Content I Have Been Needing In my Life.

[@northdakotagamer]

I actually think the move for automatic bids for power 5 conference champs was a brilliant move by the NCAA from the perspective of trying to keep the power 5 alive. It gives a strong incentive for a school that’s currently not that big a fish in a big pond, like A&M or Florida, to find a home in one of the less competitive conference like the Big 12 or the ACC. Winning a weaker power 5 likely would prove more lucrative with the national televised game and higher enrollment that I assume without looking into it that winning national titles brings. It remains to be seen if it will play out like this of course

[@kodyconley1267]

Firstly, great job and excellent execution. I know the world revolves around money but if OU and Texas had any type of leadership, they would’ve went to the Big XII and poached PAC-12 schools and added the four they did. I think trying to create the first “super conference “ of 20 schools would’ve been very successful. 20 schools broken up into divisions that make sense geographically. This not only helps travel but would also create long lasting rivalries moving forward. West: Oregon, Washington, BYU, Utah, Colorado South: Texas, Tech, TCU, Baylor, Houston North: OU, oSu, K-state, Kansas, Iowa State East: Cincinnati, UCF, WVU, Pitt, Louisville Everyone within the division plays each other and 7 conference non-divisional games (11 games) Divisional winners play (4 teams) and winners go to a conference championship (more like basketball). I find that to be entertaining and the rotation between playing out of division opponents keeps the games fresh and new for fans while playing division games would create some awesome rivalries. Unfortunately, it’s just the same old 💩 moving forward.

[@voiceofreason2674]

Well written, but assuming you're doing 12 game season, you're losing a lot with having only 1 non conference game. I think 9 conference games is the max you can do, cuz you gotta have at least 3 non-con games of 3 basic types. 1) Out of conference rivals (self explanatory why you need that one) 2) Marquis Matchups (when you're school is hot, other big schools are gonna come calling to schedule big time matchups) and 3) Cupcake Games (You can hate on cupcake games until your team is horrible and then you know how important it is for everybody involved to just not go winless, or for perennially horrible teams like Kansas or Vandy those magic years where you pull a few upsets you NEED those cupcake games as margin of error to get you into a bowl game. Last year's 3OT thriller Liberty Bowl would NOT happen if it werent for Tennessee Tech giving Kansas a win.

I am an Iowa State fan and alum, and at heart a die hard Big 8 guy (despite only being turning 8 myself in October 1996). This was a great video, very well done, and even brought a slight tear to my eye reminiscing about the original Big XII, and by extension the Big 8. Despite the Big XII officially not considering the Big 8 part of it's history, as far as I am concerned, the Big 6/7/8 and XII are one and the same. I am SO pumped for the new Big XII as not only is it now the top basketball conference, but there will be so much parity in football now. Just based on recent the recent histories going back the last decade or so, ANYONE could win it in football any given year (Hell, even Kansas if Leipold sticks around long term). I really hope Colorado comes back so we can then have 4 of the 6 original North schools again (not mention Big 8 member), but despite the circumatances under which they left (they wanted to be like the popular kids and try to fit in with everyone else), I would even welcome Missouri back as well. Nebraska can rot in hell though. Fuck them. Big 8 Forever!! Edit: After seeing the part where Mizzou, KU, OU, and CU were looking elsewhere, I suppose it was simply a matter of time and fate that CU went to the Pac-12 (I still want them back though). It was no secret that Mizzou wanted to join the Big Ten a decade ago, but I never knew they wanted to join as far back as 30 years ago. Maybe I don't want Mizzou back anymore....

[@Igolnik54]

We are a young program with a ferocious fanbase, a solid foundation, great recruitment potential, and a dream to be big. Although the future is unsure, I have great confidence in what's being built in the BIG 12

[@TheBenzwanger]

Ferocious is one way to describe it, annoying and unearned is another. I didn't mind any of the new schools coming in except UCF and it's strictly because of their fans. I've never seen a fanbase of a team become so cocky and so loud while at the same time accomplishing nothing and making up championships. I mean if Oklahoma counted every #1 poll ranking as a championship they would have 17 claimed national championships. But they only claim 7 that they won outright. OU could exaggerate their titles too but they actually have them, so they don't feel the need to fabricate anything. Y'all act like no one knows who you are.....but we do.....we just don't care.

I swear to god if UConn goes to the Big 12 I'll never forgive them. Going back to the Big East (who welcomed them back with open arms) was a huge part of why they won the title this past year. Leaving this soon after rejoining because of a few mediocre football seasons at the independent level; I can't think of a bigger middle finger to the Big East than that. If they go to the Big 12, that'll castrate their recruiting pipeline and fan interest since their nearest opponents will be literally hundreds of miles away. We saw what happened when they joined the AAC. All for money and a football dream that is just never going to come true.

[@jackrobinson8169]

Just going to add some context on the Big 12s formation So basically Texas wanted to go to the Pac 10 but they were getting nowhere and the SEC told A&M that it could not join all by itself. So both were back to square one. The idea of a merger was never seriously considered but what was, was a merger of the television rights. So both the Big 8 and SWC would sell their rights together, combine their television footprint, and then host a championship style game at the end of the season. They would also schedule OOC games between eachother. The Big 8 ultimately passed because they had no want for any Texas school outside of UT and A&M. So thats where things stood. After trying to go their own ways but getting nowhere, and after the Big 8 made it clear that they had no interest in a TV package, A&M and UT were going to join the Big 8 as the only two SWC members invited. Thats when shit hit the fan and it was a good time for Baylor and Tech to have influential state politicians. Those politicians, led by Bob Bullock, both threatened A&M and UT with budget cuts and also bribed them, A&M got the votes it needed to build Reed Arena, to tie themselves to both Baylor and Tech. And thats how Baylor and Tech got their spots It was a shotgun wedding from the get go

[@NathanEHarvey]

Texas was lying to the Pac about their network. A&M told the Pac that Texas intended to keep their network, and that's what killed that deal. The whole reason the Pac wanted to expand was to make a conference network, which would be impossible if the Longhorn Network was established.
