The landscape of the NCAA is receiving a significant amount of reconstructive surgery, and fans betting on which teams will move where, have plenty to wager on. Placing bets online for college football has never been more exciting as teams such as Nebraska and Texas look to spice up conferences such as the Big 10 and Pac 10. With Nebraska moving to the Big 10, some of the other teams in the Big 12 would leave for the Pac 10 making it one super conference with two divisions.
The two biggest schools to move from the Big 12 include Nebraska and Texas. Once Nebraska becomes the 12th team in the Big 10, it will legitimize the Big 10 in a football capacity, as most of the schools in that conference are recognized for their basketball programs. Further, the television deal, the Big 10 could secure by Nebraska joining, could be one of the biggest deals in the history of the NCAA.
Conversely, along with Texas, the other five schools that would move to the Pac 10 would make that conference into a 'super conference' as it already has perennial power house teams Oregon, USC and Stanford. Once Texas and company join the Pac 10, two divisions will be created, which will then result in playoffs, for the teams to qualify for bowl games.
Further, by Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Colorado, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State moving to the Pac 10, and Nebraska jumping to the Big 10, the four remaining teams in the Big 12 of Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor and Missouri, become the odd ones out. As a result, many experts are speculating, that the four remaining Big 12 teams, might tag along with Nebraska and form a super conference in the Big 10. However, if that does not work, they may end up joining the SEC or ACC conferences to form super conferences.
By the end of the day, the idea of merging is to make the most money, and by having the Big 12 dismantle and form super conferences with the other conferences, the revenue per school will be through the roof.
