But as college football’s postseason is on the brink of change to a four team playoff… Does the Big XII really want to be the only team from the conferences listed above to not have an outright conference champion determined by a championship game? Do they really not want the additional revenue from a championship game? Determining the four team playoff: Let’s just say for arguments sake that the four team playoff is upon us and the Pac 12 Champion, the Big 10 Champion and the SEC Champion are locks for three of the four playoff spots.
Now let’s just say that two loss Texas from the Big XII and two loss Florida State from the ACC are both in the mix for the last spot. Who should be the final team selected for a chance to play for a National Title? Well, the season is over for Texas, but Florida State heads into the ACC championship game and pads their resume with a nice championship game win and the outright ACC Championship. Sorry Big XII, but Florida State is now a lock for the fourth playoff spot and the Big XII is left out. Big XII Options: a. Cry me a river. . Be a forward thinking conference and expand to a 12 plus team conference. Option B is the only option that needs consideration. Option B should be implemented quickly under the helm of new conference commissioner Bob Bowlsby. Option B should be an immediate invitation to BYU and Louisville. As commissioner Bowlsby said in his introductory press conference, it’s not a geographic footprint anymore, but an “electronic footprint”. BYU currently has an eight year exclusive television deal with ESPN as a football independent.
The Term Paper on Solving Team Challenges at DocSystems Billing, Inc.

Does ESPN really give BYU this deal if they don’t have a big enough fan base and national appeal to warrant the contract? The answer to this question is no. BYU’s “electronic footprint” is larger than most colleges in the country as they are a faith based institution for the fastest growing religion in the United States, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormon Church).
This means that BYU has a national draw and will fill seats in any stadium or arena in the country.
The biggest question regarding BYU is no Sunday play (and it has been reported that this is the only thing that BYU is unwilling to compromise).
My response to that question is why does that even matter? Name me the revenue sports that consistently play on Sundays. This truly is an easy thing to work around for most sports and other conferences already avoid Sunday play. But for those sports that do require Mr. Schedule Maker to make no Sunday play adjustments I propose the following:
BYU agrees to pay the league 10% of its television revenues back to the league to make up for the added challenge regarding the schools commitment to keeping the Sabbath day holy. Mormon faithful will feel at home with the 10% distribution back to the league as the church’s members pay 10% of their earnings to the church as tithing. BYU truly is a homerun when it comes to expanding the footprint of the Big XII and bringing value to the TV contract. BYU has national appeal and that should not be overlooked by Big XII officials. BYU has a great traveling fan base to go along with their national fan base.
This means that bowl games will continue to be happy to add BYU, and having a school in Utah would open up the Las Vegas Bowl as a BIG XII vs. PAC 12 destination. Although stats can be compiled to prove the worth of BYU to Big XII, I will end by saying that BYU is a great addition as an “electronic footprint” school in the Mountain Time Zone (which means that the league has a new time zone to add in their contract negotiations with ESPN and FOX).
The Essay on Why Did The League Fail In The 1930s
The League of Nations had been a partially successful organization in the 1920s. During the 1930s the situation became worst, and the League had been bypassed and ignored by powerful nations. The long term and short term weaknesses of the League had been exposed. The League had depended on Britain and France for support in times of crisis. However neither France nor Britain was willing to abandon ...
What about Louisville? Louisville is the most popular pick among Big XII fans and most likely Big XII schools.
They bring an adequate football program and an elite basketball program to the conference. They are a great geographical fit and provide West Virginia with a closer neighbor in the conference. I’m not going to argue in favor of Louisville because I believe Louisville is a Big XII lock. The Big XII with BYU and Louisville on board is a very stable conference with all the benefits of being a championship game able 12 member conference. BYU brings a new face, a storied history, a new time zone and a new market/national market to the league.
Louisville brings a great regional fit, a storied history, and stability to the league. This new Big XII with BYU, Louisville, TCU and West Virginia definitely secures the place of the Big 12 in the upper echelon of all college sports. Visionary? This is very much the beginning of a visionary conference and can become visionary with the future dealings of the league. Message to the Big XII: Just don’t sit comfortably in your new 12 team league with your new ESPN/FOX television contract and think that you set.
Change is constant and you need to constantly be improving and reinventing yourselves. Big 14? As a stable 12 team league, go out and find two more schools that will bring new markets and greater value to the conference. A list with some “out of the box” candidates: Notre Dame (unlikely but always worth the shot), Boise State (America’s favorite little brother), Florida State, Clemson, UNLV (untapped Vegas market), Air Force. Many say Cincinnati, but I see Cincinnati as non progressive school with a small fan base/stadium and not enough pull in their own crowded market.
