Basketball recruiting From Cassidy: Breaking down the Big 12 (early signing period)


Good stuff mentioning K-State and also alludes to Macaleab Rich moving into the Rivals 150 by the end of his senior season

Football Dennis Dodd realignment talk, 810 radio recap

-Everything on the table. Everyone trying to position themselves.

-SEC and Big10 one team away (Notre Dame) from having monopoly on college football, money, claiming a champion, etc.

-When these networks negotiate these revenue deals, they only consider a few teams in each league (for example, OU/TX in B12)

-USC/UCLA a bigger deal than TX/OU because everyone knew OU/TX was bigger than the Big 12. But leaving the PAC 12 after nearly a century of membership is huge.

-Surprised UCLA was able to break away from California State system. It's ruthless.

-Where is Big 12 at right now as far as recruiting schools? Given Big 12's history, they should have learned they need to be proactive. They have been in discussion with a few Pac teams.

-I don't think Oregon or Washington are going to big 10 b/c they don't cross the minimum threshold in added revenue. And, I don't think they'll go to Big 12.

-ACC is getting real, real nervous.

-These other conferences need stability more than anything. But, with everyone pursuing their options, it's difficult.

-I think the Big 12 is in great shape to at least exist. I've heard nothing but good things about new commissioner. Kind of stable by default as nobody is really pursuing their teams. But, they have base and now they can go look at PAC 12 for example.

-What about loose partnership with pac 12 and acc? I don't know that it's viable....just a way for leagues to try and extract more money from ESPN (b/c acc is currently locked into their contract through 2036). These two leagues are basically desperate to stay relevant and to raise more money. Is there a way to get out of ACC grant of rights? Lawyers are currently busy combing through contracts to see what options are. There are certain ACC teams who know they are going to be well below Big 10 and SEC. So, big ACC schools want out NOW.

(Had to take call)

-Something to watch is all the little leagues that get automatic bids to NCAA basketball tourney. I think that'll change because bigger schools don't like sharing that revenue. Since this all about revenue, sooner or later it's going to creep down to basketball and the bigger schools will do the same thing football is doing.

Big 12 predictions this weekend

TCU @ Baylor--TCU -3 O/U @ 57.5 Weather high of 44 I think this will be a competitive game. TCU wins 27-24 BET THE UNDER

KSU @ WV--KSU -7.5 O/U @ 55 Weather high of 35 KSU should roll in this game KSU 34-17 BET KSU -7.5 CONSIDER THE UNDER

Texas @ KU--Texas -9 O/U @ 63 Weather high of 35 Interesting game. I see KU scoring late in the game to get a back door cover. Texas wins 31-24 BET THE UNDER 63

TT @ ISU--ISU -3.5 O/U @48 Weather high of 20! How does ISU continue to be favored. ISU finally wins a game (I hope?) Even though the total is only at 48 ISU can't score. Foresee TT being unable to move the ball and turn it over a couple of times. ISU 20-17
BET THE UNDER 48

OSU @ OU--OU -7.5 O/U @64.5 Weather high of 44. OU being favored by more than a TD???? I guess Vegas thinks that Saunders is not going to play. If Saunders is out OU wins 35-20 If Saunders plays OU wins 35-30 TOO MANY VARIABLES DON'T BET THIS GAME!
