End of the BIG XII - THREAD FOR ALL REALIGNMENT DISCUSSION

Re: End of the BIG XII

So we'll only have to endure these "Rumors" until they screw the conference out of their Money halfway into the Season and we can put this **** to bed until they decide to say something in October.

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

That's also why they're filing a grievance first. They want to show cause.

As for OU, everything I'm hearing has OU talking to the Pac 10 and the Big 10. Both options would include OSU and two other teams. I think the Big 10 is a LONGSHOT because I've heard ISU mentioned in that discussion, and there's ZERO chance that Iowa would let that happen. I also don't think OSU fits the academic profile of the Big 10, and frankly, OU is borderline.

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

OU is heading in the right direction academically, so I think the Big Ten would consider that, whereas another school that they just took, Nebraska, was clearly headed in the wrong direction, yet they took em anyway.

And they also were ready to take Notre Dame, so AACU membership or whatever it is isn't a prerequisite.

OU,OSU,Tech,KU or Houston to the Pac12.. Calling my shot

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

Oh how I wish this were true.

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

I hate the idea of moving to the SEC.

Re: End of the BIG XII

There isn't a more delusional or lacking credibility fan base in all of college football than Texas A&M fans. OK, wait, there is one, but only one.

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

Here is my best guess:

SEC - A&M
Pac - 12 - OU/OSU/Mizzou/Kansas?
Indy - Texas

Or Beebe convinces Joe C. that losing texas A&M is no biggie,that we are actually stronger as a 9 team conference, and that being next to the warm embrace of Texas is better than actually having balls.

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

Actually, I don't think Texas wants to be indy in a superconference environment and if it's hand is forced, it may be that fourth team going to the Pac 16 and they'll have to make all kinds of concessions for the LHN/ESPN deal or give it up. In fact, I can see the Pac offering just three schools and waiting on Texas to decide.

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

If we could get some regional teams into the Pac conference (number to be determined), I'd be more open to it, but as it is now, we'd be doing tons of west coast traveling. It might be quite a burden for our budgets, which are not exactly overflowing with money in these harsh economic times.

And yeah, I know we're better off than most, but that doesn't mean we should just throw money away.

A lot of what I'm reading is that UT and ESPN are trying to force the second Big 12 game and the high school broadcast thing, and this is the final straw for Tech and A&M.

This stupid network will be the death of the Big 12. That and that loser Beebe.

radio stations in alabama, Kentucky and Mississippi are all reporting A&M to SEC is done deal and will begin in 2012. #gigem

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

I want SEC. Of course my reasons are selfish.I'd love to see the Sooners at Neyland on a semi-regular basis.

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

The smell of pacthouli makes me want to vomit.

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

Who the hell is "Dallas Shipp"?

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

**** the Pac-12. I don't want to play USC and Oregon every year. Bob doesn't want to play Mike every year either.

**** the Pac-12.

And why can't we jettison OSU like Iowa did to ISU?

OUDavid's little brother?

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

Kinda what I was wondering.

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

If it was said on Twitter...it is a cold hard fact..deal with it...

 

Re: End of the BIG XII

Iowa and ISU were never tied together. And, if Iowa has its way, they never will be.
