Cincinnati moving into the B12 might not have been a good for them. They are worse off financially mostly due to increased cost that revenues didn’t cover. I don’t see them ever being able to compete financially. UCF might be in the same boat. If they stayed in the AAC I think they could have stayed as a national story and been better financially.

Just as placeholder and the Big 12 basketball schedule hasn't been announced yet but the SEC has the same number of conference games as the Big 12 and they just released theirs. 2024-25 SEC Men’s Basketball conference opponents announced - Southeastern Conference (secsports.com) What I think this means for CU basketball is that the round robin games would be Kansas, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State since the AZ and UT schools would probably do round robins with each other. That probably means the Texas schools will round robin each other and then Iowa State, UCF, UC, and WVU will round robin each other. This might be just for one year as the new Big 12 media rights deal kicks in next year and there could be 20 conference games (currently at 18). Buffaloes Add Danny Manning As An Assistant Coach - University of Colorado Athletics (cubuffs.com) This was a good hire for Tad Boyle as the Buffs move back into their old stomping grounds. Buffs could have three players drafted in next month's NBA Draft and it seems like the Buffs got some good & bigger bodies (necessity for the Big 12). I think the Buffs will hover near the middle of the pack in the Big 12.

Pro tip: you can click on the "B12" tag to find B12 tagged threads here. At least you don't have to be trying to find the needle in the haystack on this board. Sick of winter already? It's beyond a safe bet that I am sick of winter! With NSD this Wednesday and it also sounds like the B12 football schedule will be released tomorrow (rumor is rumor), why not kick off the 2025 version of Big 12 football here on this board? It feels like January has came and gone quickly and February is going to be a flash...did the groundhog from your area see their shadow? https://cubuffs.com/news/2025/1/31/football-black-gold-spring-game-set-for-april-19 And we are set for the third spring game under Coach Prime. Buffs spring ball starts March 11th, runs for two weeks, one week off for spring break, and then two more weeks leading to the April 19 spring football game. CU is likely holding an actual spring game while Nebraska is likely cancelling theirs because some idiot from that state scheduled their spring game the day after the transfer portal closes.

BYU and Iowa State collide Tuesday for bragging rights on who is the top overall sports program in the B12 this year. Not surprised BYU is there but I’m not sure it’s good for the conference that Iowa State could be our best overall program this year.

Too bad NM wasn’t able to keep him.

Not going to lie, didn’t expect BYU’s transition to power conference play to go as well as it has so far. Here’s to hoping they can sustain it. BYU / Houston representing well overall from the G5 / Indy additions. PAC additions ASU / Colorado did well in football with Arizona in basketball. Playing in a true P4 has clearly been tough for Utah, whose fans let everyone know they would “run” the BigXII 😂. Rough year for them, UCF, Cincy, and OSU.

Due to financial reasons. Basketball and Oly's to the Big West. I have an inside of outside source that confirms this is happening.

They just foul on every possession. No way they make the final four the refs will crack down on that style of play in the tournament. The student sections sucks. They literally copied BYU’s student body free throw traditions, all they did was change the colors of everything. It fits the school just a cheap copy of everything. I was worried the conference was going to copy us and start having drone shows at their games then I realized BYU is the only team that can afford that kind of production. Everyone wants to play at Provo and experience the premier game experience in the conference. Good grief we are every ones rival in only year 2. I was at the football game against Houston felt like it was the Super Bowl for them. I saw one Houston fan and we sat right next to the visiting team. Worst showing from an opposing team ever. Not surprising BYU had 70% of the crowd the last time we played them in Houston. BYUtv put the one fan on TV probably because they felt sorry for them. I was more impressed with Wyoming home environment than some of the b12 games I’ve gone to.

BYU now has 2 winning season in the B12 basketball. TCU 0

Don’t get that one. He has way over preformed especially when they play on the road and neutral site games all year.

Any prediction that have UNC lose 3 games or more is a suspect. Not in Belicheck's genome. https://247sports.com/college/unlv/longformarticle/college-footballs-10-daring-predictions-for-2025-season-246153483/#2605383

This is still one of the best home environments of all college basketball. BYU, KU and maybe Iowa st are better. Baylor might equal it. The Pitt is way better than half the b12 home environments. BYU brings nearly as many fans to most road games as the home team does. The old MWC overall had better attendance than many of the B12 teams. Top places to play in the west KU BYU/NM/Iowa St Gonzaga/USU/Baylor Grand Canyon/ Texas Tech/ K State Arizona/SDSU UCLA/Oregon Colorado, TCU and UCF are BYU home games. TCU and UCF football are nearly home games as well. Orlando is Provo east now we own that place. OSU fans have just abandoned the basketball team that is nearly a home game as well.

Arizona: Arizona State: Sam Leavitt Baylor: BYU: Central Florida: Cincinnati: Brendan Sorsby Colorado: Kaidon Salter (Liberty) or JuJu Lewis. Houston: Zeon Chriss, or Conner Weigman (aTm) Iowa State: Rocco Becht Kansas: Jayden Daniels Kansas State: Avery Johnson Oklahoma State: Texas Christian: Texas Tech: Utah: Devon Dampier (New Mexico), or Issac Wilson.

The Big12 got some but the 2PAC and MWC got none. https://247sports.com/longformarticle/2025-mcdonalds-all-american-rosters-released-244830156/#2590227

Welcone to the G8, ACC and Big 12:

Let's go Buffs!

Coach Prime hype hasn't gone away just yet. I'm thinking CU @ CSU will be nationwide TV as well.

A.J. Dybantsa, a 6-foot-9 wing player who is the No. 1 prospect in high school basketball and the projected No. 1 pick in the 2026 NBA draft, announced his commitment to BYU on Tuesday morning. Dybantsa, who made his announcement on ESPN's "First Take," chose the Cougars over Alabama, North Carolina and Kansas. He becomes the first five-star recruit to commit to BYU since the ESPN recruiting database began in 2007. https://www.espn.com/recruiting/basketball/story/_/id/42892244/dybantsa-projected-top-pick-26-nba-draft-commits-byu
