Big 12 Bites the Dust
If you live for college football like I do, something momentous happened this week. Just like that, the Big 12 conference bit the dust, as Colorado jumped to the Pac-10, and Nebraska went to the Big 10. This will no doubt start a domino effect which will result in the Pac-16, and leave Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, and Missouri out in the rain.
What it really does is open up the possibility of a playoff, as you would think the BCS is now dead. After all, that was designed to accept the winner of the Big 12 as an automatic qualifier, and now there is no Big 12. Don’t quote me on this, but I think the BCS contract expires right around the time when all this will go into effect, maybe 2013 or 2014. A playoff would be EASY to set up, and the money the NCAA would make is way more than they’re making now. You have to wonder who’s getting paid off to make sure it doesn’t happen.
