I wake up once a month thinking I missed my final, final exam and haven't graduated.

You run the campus bar. You did not really graduate.

He will be given his degree once he pays off that parking ticket from 1992.

Gonzaga in talks to join the Big 12

I'd love for the Big East to get them, but the Big 12 makes more sense.

I'd also love to see the ACC fold and the Big East get Duke. I honestly think that could be a possibility one day.

well, we will see how our conference brass reacts to this news. I'd like to see Gonzaga in the BE.....and I have said that for years. If they go to the B12, i wont have a reaction based on the fact that they went to the B12, but rather that it means they WONT be coming to the BE.

In addition, this will be the introduction of non-football teams joining power 5 football conferences. Didnt we see this once before, and didnt it lead to the BE becoming a giant WEDGE in the conference structures and the crazy movement we saw in the early 2000s. I'm not sure where the carousel stops when it comes to picking BE teams off to join power conferences for non-football sports....

Also, lets not rule out the possibility that Gonzaga may be using the B12 as leverage in discussions with the BE. Sounds like there may have been prior BE discussions, but they were merely alluded to. The fact that this B12 discussion seems to be very specific certainly seems like it could have been leaked....

Final thought....the pending UCLA & USC moves to the B12 may have some resistance, especially UCLA who is part of a much larger education "system" in California and could face some legal issues. I'm sure UCLA and USC joining makes it much more geographically friendly for Gonzaga to join.

Except those schools are joining the Big 10, not Big 12. Bill Walton is lobbying to stop it.


Geographically, I think Gonzaga joining the Big East makes little sense. That said, considering how spread out the Big 12 is right now, it also makes little sense. These schools should be minimizing the travel as much as possible. I know my opinion is not shared by most people who only follow the sport 24/7.
