College Football Offseason thread - Page 28 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Schools the Big 12 is reportedly considering adding to actually get to, you know, 12 schools:

Cincy, Houston, BYU, USF, UConn, Memphis, Col St., Boise St., Tulane, Temple, East Carolina, SMU, New Mexico, Northern Illinois, San Diego St.

Good luck in your quest to become the new Mountain West/Conference USA/Big East, I guess. Seems that would start the dominoes falling for Texas and Oklahoma to start looking at moving to Pac 12 or SEC.

I would take Cincy and Houston. Houston seems like a given since they are in Texas. And West Virginia needs a team closer to them for a more natural rival. Must suck for West Virginia to have to travel so far for every away game. Cincy could fix that for one game at least.

Memphis sent ribs to the big 12 offices apparently so they are my dark horse candidate. No other team makes sense to me. Byu should stay independent. Uconn has had some relevance recently but that seems like it would be a weird fit. The big 12 would become the new AAC conference

I heard negotiations are underway for the MD 20/20 bowl and the government cheese bowl.

Nope, not me.

Also, looks like Jawja is going to add yet another Alabama transfer.

ideal stadium orientation is north/south so neither team has to look into a setting sun at any time during the game if they were playing football in a wide open space with nothing surrounding them. stadium latitude (the sun is higher in the sky for southern stadiums compared to northern stadiums), time of year in relation to the elevation of the sun (most football is played after the autumnal equinox and the sun gets progressively lower in the sky), time of typical kickoff (most are around noon), and height of stadium seating surrounding the field are all factors.

tldr: solar geometry, bros.

Five Notre Dame players arrested for weed and a gun. And CB Devin Butler faces charges for battery and resisting arrest in a separate incident last night. So six players total arrested. It'll be interesting to see what Kelly does with these players two weeks before the season. All six are apparently contributors on the field.
