View Full Version : Big 12 schools face economic impact of shuffling

.....Baylor, Iowa State and Kansas have publicly said they will not relinquish the right to sue the SEC or Texas A&M. Kansas State hasn't commented publicly, but the Wildcats are likely to follow Kansas' steps. Missouri remains neutral, especially since university president Brady Deaton is the chair of the Big 12 board of directors.
There is a reason schools like Iowa State, Kansas State and Missouri are holding their ground in the A&M/SEC affair -- or at the very least approaching it with trepidation. The television deal that the Big 12 signed with Fox Sports Media Group for an estimated $90 million over a 13-year period beginning in 2012 allowed schools to begin major on-campus projects. The Big 12 still had three years remaining on a deal with ESPN/ABC, too.
Iowa State went ahead with projects after the Fox contract was completed and took out $40 million in bonds based on the deal. Iowa State has invested $5 million in a new video board, $20 million in a football building and an estimated $15 million in a sports complex for track, soccer and softball. The video board project began in July for this football season and the other two projects are under construction.
"The taxpayers of Iowa can't pay if those bonds fall through," a source said Wednesday. "These are real questions, real situations. I'm not sure how (Iowa State) could waive those (legal) rights (to sue the SEC)."

"If four leave, say, and then there are five left, the five can stay together to retain the Big 12 money, retain the automatic berth to the BCS and the automatic berth in the NCAA tournament for a two-year period.

the SEC is going to have to make a choice here in the next 6 months or so. Either they go ahead and accept A&M with potential lawsuits looming or they say "sorry, no can do."
If they tell A&M "no", can A&M go independent for a while?
If they did, and UT didn't, the greatness of that situation would be too much to handle.

From what I've read the SEC is already working out 2012 schedules with A&M on them and that if A&M went independent for a year they'd be an independent playing a bunch of SEC teams. I don't think it's going to come to that though. They'll end up taking A&M without the waivers, but there's no reason that they have to commit to that now. So like everyone else, they're just going to sit back and wait for OU and then see what happens from there.
Something else to consider, the big 12 can disband itself with 8 votes. A&M plus a four team PAC move gets you to 5. If those 5 teams can help Mizzou and the Kansii find homes in AQ conferences, they can just disband the conference and everyone gets to walk away without paying any exit fees to anyone.

That seems to be the likely scenario at this point.
I wonder if Baylor, Iowa St et anyone else would go ahead and sue.

tekk could easily end up outside of a major conference, though I am not saying they will. I really do not know. I do know, however, that no AQ conference is falling all over themselves wanted to add them (tekk)... whereas, ou, osu, t.u. & A&M all seem to have greater range and flexibility.

not sure which thread to put this in but thought it was funny
George McFadden in Portland, Oregon asked: If the Big 12 unravels with the exit of Texas A&M why would Oklahoma and others want to join the Pac 12? Not that the Pac 12 is a bad conference but it is a long way from Norman to Seattle. If the realingment results in a Big 18 from the current Big 10 that would produce two 9-team divisions that would play an 8 game schedule to determine a champion to play in the conference championship. In addition each school would also play one interconference game as part of the non-division schedule televised on the Big 18 network.
DU: Here's what needs to happen:
The Big 12's members should disperse to their various new leagues. The Big Ten usurps the Big East to form the Big Eastern Ten.
Then the ACC and SEC merge to form a new league, and name the divisions "Basketball" and "Football." Kentucky, you know where you go.
Then, that new ACC-SEC hybrid merges with the Big Eastern Ten to form the first super duper conference that encompasses every single TV market in the midwest and eastern seaboard.
The Pac-16, unable to compete, tucks its tail between its legs, and merges with the Biggest Eastern Ten hybrid.
This league is now the BET-SEC-ACC-16.
Obviously, this is too cumbersome. They want to rename the leagues, but they can't focus solely on football, so they name it the National College Athletes of America
The tagline: Where champions play, because nobody else is around.
But this super duper conference (We'll call it, oh, I don't know, the NCAA) needs divisions, right? It should divide them up regionally, so it can keep a cap on outrageous travel costs and retain regional rivalries.
So, in one division, you could throw like, Ohio State, Michigan, Iowa, Michigan State, Wisconsin and the like. Probably like 10 or 11 teams.
In another, have like Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and some of the other southern schools. Throw like 12 teams in that division.
In another, put like UCLA, USC, the Oregon schools, the Arizona schools and the Washingtons and such.
There are too many east coast schools, so split them up into two divisions. One could have like Connecticut, Pitt, Syracuse, West Virginia and those others further north. There's not as many, and they focus on hoops, so just put eight teams in that league.
Another could have Duke and UNC (gotta keep the rivalry, obviously), Miami, the Virginia schools and West Virginia, Georgia Tech, Florida State and the rest of them. Put 12 in there.
The last: Lump all the midwestern schools in another conference. Texas and Texas A&M (gotta keep that rivalry, too, of course. Been together for like a century), Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa State, Baylor, Texas Tech, Colorado, Missouri and Kansas State for a 12-team league in the middle of the country.
I know it sounds really radical and maybe a little bit crazy, but I think it would work. I really do.
Let's do it. What do you think?

Looks like whatever is going to happen could all be going down monday.......
The Board of Regents for both Texas and Oklahoma will meet Monday afternoon to discuss conference realignment.
On Thursday, the OU Board of Regents released its agenda that included an item to consider “new athletic conference membership.” The board is scheduled to meet at 2 p.m., while UT’s board will meet at 4 p.m.
The first item on UT’s agenda, to be held in executive session if necessary, will involve “discussion and appropriate action regarding potential legal issues related to athletic conference membership and contracting.”

If OU and OSU bolt to the PAC and Texas doesn't want in on the deal then I would expect them to go Independent in football and join the ACC for all other sports.
This way they can keep their rivalry games with OU and A&M and turn the LHN into a success by scheduling a bunch of football games on it. Everything they have done seems like they were heading down this road eventually anyway. Of course keeping the BIG12 alive would be best for them but I could see this being their 2nd option.

Makes the most since to me, especially since that's pretty much the only way too see the LHN flourish. The LHN was written with independence in mind. Then for the other sports they can pitch the ACC was the best choice because of academics for our student-athletes etc.
It's not as great as the big12 where they can tell everyone what to do, but it isn't necessarily a bad thing on their part also. Independent football with keeping natural rivals and whoever you please, get to show more games on the LHN, not just 1 or 2 regional games and then once Basketball and Baseball season rolls around you play NC, Duke, etc.
OU, OSU, A&M and Texas will all better themselves in the long run if this conference dissolves IMO. Not sure about the rest.

Perhaps, but if Tech doesn't end up in a major conference the butthurt from Techies would be epic. Would make Aggy's butthurt insignificant in comparison.

Found this to be interesting.
Syracuse and Pitt in Talks With A.C.C.
Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh, two bedrock members of the Big East Conference, are engaged in talks about joining the Atlantic Coast Conference, according to a person with direct knowledge of the talks.
No one from Pittsburgh, Syracuse or the A.C.C. denied the conversations were taking place. Officials from all three entities declined to comment on the matter.
The person with knowledge of the talks declined to speculate on a timetable or the seriousness of the discussions. But in this delicate time for conferences and their futures, the discussions between the 12-team A.C.C. and two Big East members are significant.
The discussions show how the trend toward 16-team super conferences, which has concerned many college athletic officials, appears to be inching closer to reality. If Syracuse and Pittsburgh switch, the move will be difficult for the Big East to overcome.
Syracuse is a founding member, and Pittsburgh joined the league in 1982, three years after it formed.
The Pittsburgh chancellor, Mark Nordenberg, who is widely credited with saving the Big East after Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech moved to the A.C.C. in the early 2000s, twice declined comment when reached at his home.
Syracuse Athletic Director Daryl Gross, when reached on his cellphone in Los Angeles, where the Orange will play Southern California on Saturday, also declined to comment. “I can’t comment on that,” Gross said. “Maybe that’s even too much to say.”
“We’ve been dealing with the fluidity of the conference landscape on multiple levels for a week,” said Amy Yakola, the A.C.C.’s associate commissioner for public relations and marketing, “and at this point we wouldn’t be able to comment on speculation.”
Big East Commissioner John Marinatto declined comment when reached on his cellphone.
Jim Boeheim, the longtime Syracuse basketball coach, said Friday night, “I wouldn’t be surprised by anything, but I don’t know anything right now.”

plenty of shit based scenarios like the ones you keep posting would leave a number of schools with epic butthurt.
Nah I'm pretty sure I had it spot one. Apparently you don't have to have a wide vocabulary to attend Tech, you are living proof.
then apparently thinking it's stupid to ask people to elaborate on their statements is more of an Ohio thing.
That might explain why Ohio St had to fire Tressel.

The Big 12 can keep 5 teams for 2 years and keep all the TV money and AQ status.
No desire by Tech, Baylor, Kansas, KSt, or Iowa St for the conference to dissolve. No rush for UT to go independent.
If the Big XII can get back up to 10 teams after two years, especially if BYU joins, I think UT is enough of a presence for the conference to retain AQ status.

There is no possible landing spot where Texas would not be well off. They are too big and important of a program for that to ever happen.
If they go Indy in football and join the ACC for all other sports then good for them. That would be the greatest thing for them (other then keeping the big12 alive), ESPN and the ACC. I have always believed that the LHN was pretty much written with independence in mind. Texas would be able to maximize their profit this way,be in a conference with strong academics, and keep some natural rivalries with A&M/OU or whoever.
If this happens OU, OSU, UT and A&M would all be better off in the long run and it's pretty hard to disagree with that.
Now if UT joins the ACC for ALL sports then that is a totally different story and is laughable, but I dont see that happening.

While the ACC isn't desirable to me, it certainly isn't laughable. Especially if Texas goes independent in football and gets to keep the LHN. They come out of this pretty, pretty, pretty well. What's even more laughable are the rumored dollar signs being thrown around for Texas' 1st and 2nd tier rights.
I've never heard of that before, actually. Are there other schools (I can't imagine Tex is the first) to go conference in one sport and independent in another? Notre Dame's comPLETEly indy, correct?

Notre Dames other sports compete in the Big East.

I am less concerned with how funny they are, and more concerned with their accuracy.
using "t.u." in such a serious manner shows extreme inferiority complex.
using "tekk" in the same way shows extreme superiority complex.
lol at A&M's leaving the B12 with a losing conference record against Tech.

Kinda nit-picky, considering the all-time record is in A&M's favor.

Speaking of Notre Dame, there is another rumor that has them moving their other sports to the ACC as well, making the tally 16. So, 14 football teams with two independents. That would be weird.

I could see that although I thought ND was all over the big10 if wanting to join a conference.

Big1G is their natrual fit, but they don't want the restrictions that a conference would put on them as far as who they want to play in football.

Now hearing rumors that Tech has somehow blocked the move to the ACC. Not sure if that means the ACC wouldn't take Tech or Tech declined the offer from the ACC, but it seems Texas and TT are married through this whole thing right now.

I heard Kansas may be trying to escape to the ACC.

Baylor hoping them, Iowa State, Kansas State can all be added to Big East.
I rather have Pitt & 'Cuse unless the ACC wants a huge extra watered-down conference.

Because Tech wanted to go too and the ACC said no way in hell to Tech. I guess they heard Blake graduated from there and wanted no part of Tech.

I think the Horns going to the ACC by themselves was dead from the start.

I can see how this situation can be confusing to you.
To clarify, what's really happening is that the entire forum is shitting on Aggie.

Someone who gets it. Can't wait to be apart of your conference.
I can't wait for the Aggie and Hogs fans chanting S-E-C! together.
That will be a glorious sight
