Heres what they cover in the podcast:
0:00 -- What was the mood of Big 12 conference meetings in relation to other conference meetings.
2:45 -- What
interest does the Big 12 have in a championship game?
Has the success, or lack thereof, with the Big Ten/ACC/Pac-12 title
games changed the perspective? Jeremy explains how the new concerns are
related to finishing in the Top 4 and making the playoff.
4:30 -- One of the topics discussed in the Big 12 meetings were
potentially moving into a bowl tie with one of the Florida-based bowls.
There might not be any major shifts in the bowl structure, but look for
the Russell Athletic Bowl to possibly consider a Big 12 tie when the
current deal winds up after this season.
6:40
-- Earlier this week, Jeremy reported that the Big 12 exploring the
possibilities of a relationship with the ACC. The two conferences are
looking at a nonconference scheduling agreement, possibly a couple of
bowl games,
but not "a massive 24 team league," according to Jeremy.
9:30 -- Talk to us in a year or two, but
for right now Jeremy says that the ACC is stable. The whispers of Big Ten courting could be true, but it is possible that the current membership is comfortable -- for now.
13:00 -- Everyone is watching
the divorce between Maryland and the ACC.
Jeremy and I discuss what the results in court -- whatever they might
be -- could mean for the current ACC members as well as power
conferences looking to expand.
16:30 --
$26.2 million.
That's the number Forbes' reported as the payout for each Big 12
school, and it is the highest among all BCS conferences. In conference
expansion discussions, that is the argument against Big 12 expansion.
Jeremy identifies what, if any, schools could represent a boost in value
that adds $26.2 million to the shared pot.
18:35 -- Sending Jeremy out with his gut feeling on the next domino to fall in conference realignment.
