So... Arkansas to the Big 12 south, + (TCU?); Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to the Big 12 north. Huh. We'd probably need another big market to bring in money, but who? Does TCU have that much of a following?

No, TCU does not have that much of a following. And Arkansas is only lightly considering the prospect. However, Aggs BOR have (according to reports) made a 6-3 vote in favor of the SEC; therefore talks of saving the Big XII are over once an invitation is official.

TCU brings nothing money wise because UT and to a lesser extent OU and Tech already own the DFW market. They need a team with a market, Ark is a start and would be interesting. I'd love to lure another team away along with ark and keep the big 12
At this point, the only two that would keep the Big XII alive are probably Notre Dame or LSU.

Chip has been a very respected journalist and Big 12 journalist for a while, but I think his inside sources and the University might be using his platform to get info out to help their cause. Right now he's reporting that UT is ready to roll with a 10 school big 12, but that could just be a smoke screen that UT is throwing out to put pressure on Aggie to be the bad guy who breaks up the conference.

His sources at Texas most certainly are USING him. That is what I am saying. He has been wrong on every point he has made thus far.
"Nebraska won't leave for Big10."
"Nebraska won't get invited to Big10."
"When Nebraska goes Big10, Big12 South will go to Pac16 immediately"
"Big12 South minus A&M to Pac16 done deal"
"Big12 South minus A&M to Pac16 on Tuesday"
"Big12 South to Pac16 up in air"
"Big12 staying together"
"Big12 might stay together"
He is changing his shit every hour. Just saying that he is not gospel like some people are making him out to be...he has subscriptions to sell.

Oh...and notice how everything Chip breaks, he makes it sound like Texas is the one trying to save the entire conference.

Never mentioned that Texas was the one that gave the deadline to Nebraska and Missouri to commit to the Big 12.

While Texas themselves wouldn't commit to it when asked in return.

Pistons fan is an adult American male right? Did you actually think all those stories were happening...You're talking about a 2010 messageboard/Twitter guy on everchanging news happening in secret that a lot of people care about. What do you expect him to do?
That's why one should never believe anything until it happens
Anyway Texas is sitting fat down south

No, I didn't think those stories were happening...I've felt he was selling garbage since day 1.
And its not so much the information he is putting out, as I agree this stuff is secret. Its the fact he is putting info out there as the be-all-end-all.

Arkansas would be retarded to go BIG12. If the BIG12 doe stay together they are going to have to pickup smaller programs who don't necessarily care about making big $
