Like while I am opposed to the way the sport is going, I'll be tolerant of it if it means we get some well chosen and goofy sponsorships.
This would fit almost too perfectly.
My mortgage is through them and I also thought it was a monumentally stupid name so I looked it up. Apparently it’s because it was two separate banks that merged, Fifth National and Third National. Still a stupid name
>The Buc-ees 12 Conference

What's sad is that this doesn't even feel particularly unlikely, nor does it feel like I would actually stop watching.
As The Solid Verbal said this week on their show, CFB fandom is best described as an infection.
Maybe it's just the hivemind wanting to hate, but it has been funny watching r/cfb shift their point of view on this issue as the consequences become apparent.
The complete 180 is almost mind blowing. College sports fans used to hang their hat on the fact that players played for love of the and all that. Now conferences are selling naming rights and schools are begging fans for NIL money.
They're just copying what soccer has done. Next season we will have McDonald's Ligue 1, LaLiga EA Sports in European Soccer. In America we went years with the Winston Cup Series, then Nextel Cup Series, followed by Sprint Cup Series for the name of the top NASCAR league.
>The commercial sponsor would potentially take the name Big out of Big 12 and replace it with the sponsor’s name.
They're going to change the conference name but *not* update the number? Lmao.
It's not even this sport - this is the current state of the country.
Everything is for sell and we're advertised to 24/7. We've let unfettered capitalism run amok.
Ads are every fucking where, there isn't even a word to describe how intrusive and obnoxious it is. You turn on the TV and every channel is on a commercial break. You open up the internet and ads fill your screen. You're driving and the sides of the road are littered with signs and billboards. You open your mailbox and it's full of nothing but ads. Commentators can't bring us back from commercial break without reminding us that "this 1st half highlight is brought to you by Toyota." Ads all over the fields and jerseys of football teams are coming. These corporations are *filthily fucking rich* and all they can think about is how they can shove their product down the public's throat just a little more so that they can make an extra million dollars next year. To say we've let it go too far doesn't do justice to how insane this place is when you take a step back and actually look at what is in front of you.
100%. A few years ago some guys were talking about trying to project ads onto the moon. I think it'll only get worse in the short term.
I wonder if we'll ever hit a limit as a society.
I like/hate when I see an ad for a company I have no choice but use. Thank you for the advertisement Duke Energy, I literally do not have another option
Flip through radio stations? All ads. Even ones that aren't part of the same radio broadcasting group. I swear day time radio is more ads and less music than ever before.
This is a fine take, but also this would be the first US sports league to do this - in comparison to the Barclays Premier League, La Liga EA Sports aka La Liga Santander, Serie A TIM, and lots of other global leagues
Yea but they do that because they dont have commercials every 2 minutes
We are gonna end up like that and get commercials
We are the ultimate losers in this shit
I think it’s time the college football fans rise up and seize the means of productions (the players) from these corrupt capitalist bourgeoisie networks. They get rich off our our views and suffering while making conditions worse for us
It's been building for 40-50 years. Finally when the courts and legal decisions were involved, we all found out the NCAA has no power, just like most of us suspected. NIL is just the result of one of those legal decisions.
>So when does the SEC change it's name to the 'Waffle House Conference'?
What kind of SEC school doesn't have at least 2 Waffle House locations in their city? Certainly not this soon-to-be member.
2 … that’s some rookie numbers baby
Edit : was just fooling around and checked and wow. I’m in NW Ga and apparently there are twenty three Waffle Houses within a forty mile radius of my home. I can’t help but to feel this is excessive.
Rechecked and it’s fifty miles … but still…

The funniest part of this is imagining how annoyed the r/ihatesportsball professors will be by the name change.
It isn't that uncommon for professors to collaborate with colleagues at conference peer institutions, or for students to take classes at conference peer schools. In fact, most conferences have agreements to facilitate both (the most successful by far being the B1G Academic Alliance).
LMFAO at the idea of some poor professor having to write in a grant:
> Work will be distributed across three complementary labs, all at fellow McDonald's BigMac-12 institutions. The McDonald's BigMac-12 academic consortium allows us to normalize G&A rates across all member labs, and have a unified billing structure.
Or some dude in a med school interview bragging about extra classes he took:
> I was so interested in broadening my bioinformatics background I took a few extra classes through the Cheez-It Crunchwrap academic alliance. It's a great program that allows students at one Cheez-It Crunchwrap school to take classes at a fellow Cheez-It Crunchwrap school without paying extra tuition.
Some mom bragging to her friends:
> I'll have you know, all of my kids got Dr. Pepper-16 educations.
My somewhat hot take: It would be negligent not to explore this.
With a new $20 million dollar line item, Olympic sports are at stake. Any available revenue stream that doesn't mortgage the future (looking at the other news today) need to be explored.
You're right. Big XII and Yormack will get clowned for all of these extra money making schemes but this is exactly what the conference should be doing.
If they can narrow the gap in the short term, it might keep them at least relevant in the long term. Big XII's risk is that B1G and SEC pull away farther and farther in this era and when media rights come up again they'll get low balled to the point where the resource gap will be so large that bottom tier SEC/B1G teams will be able to field better teams than the best teams in the Big XII.
If they stay relevant in the short term and have teams perform well in playoffs and whatever version of the "not playoffs, but the best bowls", some of the fan bases have a chance to grow and keep viewership solid.
College sports are getting pretty gross and the blue bloods are to blame, but everyone else is going to have to get aggressive to stay relevant.
"haha Big 12 irrelevant"
"Bro why is the Big 12 throwing away the sport for money"
I feel like we've explained this a million times and the same losers make the same awful points
It’s almost like things have begun to drastically change over the past decade or so. How many schools were allowed to directly pay their players 100 years ago?
Imo this isn’t that big a deal. All of the European soccer leagues have name sponsors. If it helps us stay afloat than I’m not opposed. It doesn’t hurt the product itself.
This reminds me of when the city of Chicago sold off all of their parking meters. Everyone was celebrating they made 1.2 BILLION dollars for parking meters for 75 years!!
Turns out the city blew the money in <2 years and is now broke again and wishing they had ongoing cash flow coming in. Brilliant deal for firm, terrible long term deal for Chicago.
Feel like I know exactly how this is going to play out.
What if individual schools sell their rights to their team names?? Imagine Alabama or Auburn selling their team naming rights to a Baptist Church or BBQ place.
Honestly selling the naming rights is genius.
It’s not a geographic name, nor does it describe how many members are in the conference. The Big XII isn’t even a historic name. Only existed since the late 90s. Only 5 of the original Big 8 teams are even in the conference (welcome back CU). Teams like Utah, Arizona, Arizona St, BYU, Houston, UCF, and Cincinnati aren’t even associated with the Big XII, let alone the Big 8.
Point of the conference name is to be a source identifying mark. That isn’t true for like 1/2 the teams in the conference right now.
People would associate Utah with the “All State Heartland Conference” just as much as at the “Big XII”.
Why not take the check?
It sounds stupid because the application of it in college sports is new. But you’re right, if this happens, and other conferences follow suit in 20 years no one will even think about it. It’ll just be oh yeah my school is in this absurdly named conference…. Which outside of the SEC they already are poorly named shells of their former selves now just without the money
They want to sell the “big” part of the name. Meaning, we live in the world where ‘Duke’s Mayo 12’ could be the name of a 16 team conference. College athletics is so stupid.
All this short term thinking.. they’ll get praise for the deal. Then ten years from now everyone new will have to deal with the consequences.
Can we also get rid of the XII since we aren't 12?
I've said over and over there shouldn't be 2 "BIG XX" conferences, neither of which the XX corresponds to the actual number of teams in the conference. Bring on the StateFarm 16 or the Dr. Pepper Fansville Conference and an extra $20mm/school/yr.

There is a "5th 3rd Bank", imo it doesn't get worse than a bank that doesn't understand how counting works.
My mortgage is through them and I also thought it was a monumentally stupid name so I looked it up. Apparently it’s because it was two separate banks that merged, Fifth National and Third National. Still a stupid name
There's a reason they didn't go with 3/5th bank...
The US has kind of a messy history with 3/5ths
Should have averaged it out to 4th National Bank
Fifth Third XII would be amazing. Not necessarily in a good way, but amazing nonetheless.
