The Big 12 is ABOUT to get better!!

[basket]

Gonzaga is talks with the BIG 12 to join their conference! This "get" is a huge one for the Big 12, IF it happens! UC would finally be playing in a relevant conference!

When you teams like Kansas, Houston, Oklahoma State, Baylor, and the like in your conference, you’re already playing in a “relevant” conference. Gonzaga would only add to it, not make it one.

Also….are you saying that the old Big East wasn’t “relevant”? C”mom man. I get the angst against UC by many here, and it’s fun. But seriously, THAT was one hell of a BB conference.

Don't forget Houston. They've been to a Final Four and Elite Eight in the last two years, and are starting off ranked #3rd with a recruiting class that is almost indescribably good.

Houston is the second school he listed.

Would much prefer the zags to the BE, but regardless would be nice to see them in a competitive conference.

Better travel wise for the Zags. Makes total sense if I am a Zags fan. Except that you won't be seeing the Zags with only one or two losses in a season anymore....

Do I care?

Zilch.

Welcome to a League where you "might" actually have to bring it every night. No more easy passes Zags.

Gonzaga plays in a bad league and STILL plays a tougher schedule than just about everyone. OK, they had the 94th ranked schedule last year, but they still play a lot of great teams.

Gonzaga plays tough games early when teams are trying to figure it out (See Steele vs Ohio State 2021) then when teams hit their prime they play a cupcake League with little chance of upset. Going to Kansas State on a Monday in February is a bit tougher than going to Portland or UC Santa whatever.
