Big 12 bringing back conference championship game in 2017
Big 12 Conference unanimously voted Friday to bring back a conference championship game. With a round robin conference schedule, this doesn't make much sense except for a potential money grab.
They also will most likely create two 5-team divisions. Not sure what the point of that is either.
in order to hold a conference title rule just disappeared?
link. Per the story, it sounds like they have to have the top two play each other, so not sure why they're talking about divisions.
yeah this is just a desperate move to keep oklahoma in the conference. I doubt it works beyond the current tv deal, if even that. Truly senseless to have a round robin with a 9-0 team vs 6-3 team and call it a championship
KSU grad here. They had to do this and I assume expansion will happen before that 2017 title game. I hate all of this conference realignment bullshit, but this and hopefully the addition of 2-4 more teams will keep my alma mater from slipping to oblivion when the big 4 conferences really decide to destroy schools.
Also, lol at people complaining about it being a "money grab". Of course it is, and so is pretty much every move made by every school and conference in the country.
