This would soften the blow of realignment it it were to end up this way. I hate the fact that the ENTIRE football landscape could change..........just Colorado and Nebraska I could live with.
UT only wants to get into big 10 and will more than likely stick around and add two new teams to the Big 12.
TCU and A To be named Later will follow.

yeah, if TCU and maybe BYU (but more likely Colorado State) joined the Big 12, and then Utah the Pac 12, I could live with that.
BSU would be getting the automatic non-BCS bid about every year
What is up T-shirt fan? You pull it out of the dresser drawer yet?
We've had this discussion before. It ended with you bent over this forum sporting a gaping asshole. You sure you want to go there again?What is up Tshirter.
lebomb got choad bloated!!
Why don't you and Dell go circle jerk in the nearest parking lot of your beloved commuter college and leave this board to fans who actually have a football team to cheer for.
I will be at the Alamodome watching football starting in 2011. Where will you be? At home watching UT on television.
Back on subject...............I hope UT stays in the Big 12.
Wow. That's amazing. So, if I show up and they pay me $5 for having to watch that abortion, you will shove a can of beer, that won't even be for sale, up my ass. I don't know...I will be at the Alamodome watching football starting in 2011. Where will you be? At home watching UT on television.
If you ever want to come down and tailgate, I will buy you a beer. Then shove the can up your dumbass.
Maybe I'll just go to a game at Texas. They're a little more hospitable and seeing as how there will actually be women at that game, one of them might let me shove my beer can up her ass. You and Cid have fun at your two person jerk.
Hey you saw I edited my thread. Im not going there. Im gonna stay on subject.
I really hope the Big12 doesnt desolve. That would suck for there not to be any kind of "texas" represented conference. All the other conferences are snatching up our teams.
Bring in Colorado St. for the Denver market and BYU/UT for the SLC market and you will not miss Colorado or Nebraska one bit. If you bring in Utah you have a legit football team with a strong basketball history.
At this stage, brining in TCU will not help the Big 12 money wise. This is all about television markets and to stay compe ive the BIG 12 will need some new markets. I also heard that there might be attempts to bring in Memphis. That would be a great market though the football is weak.
I would like to see Utah, BYU, Colorado State and Memphis brought in and have two 7 team divisions. This would cover all the necessary TV markets to make the conference lucrative and keep the PAC 10 out.
Actually wouldnt TCU bring in the Dallas/Ft Worth market?

They already have it.
Regents meet on Tuesday. It'll be over soon.
WELL IT LOOKS LIKE you're WRONG ALREADY... NEBRASKA JUST GOT OUT OF THEIR MEETING AND THEY ARE GOING TO THE BIG 10, IN THAT MEETING THEY SAID TEXAS WILL LEAVE THE BIG 12
I read that UT, TT, Okie, and OU are headed to the PAC 10, and A&M is still on the fence. I guess we will see.
"In fact, sources have indicated to Orangebloods.com that four Big 12 South teams are locked and loaded to join the Pac-10 and an announcement date has been set. One Big 12 South school is still on the fence."
Chip Brown from Orangebloods. *shrugs*
Chip Brown has been saying that all along. He isn't going to change.
joe shad or however you spell his name just reported that a&m wants to go to the sec and the sec wants them, and texas is likely pac 10 bound , but rick perry wont let them split up, but anyways he just reported that after tuesdays meeting texas and a&m are announcing which conference their going to, they will still schedule each other every year no matter what.
@ESPNews: A Big 12 source told ESPN's Joe Schad that Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Ok State are all poised to join Pac-10 as early as Tues

I think A&M is going their separate way. To me its the only way to get out of UTs shadow and they know that. Besides...........travel expenses will be much less going to the SEC in my opinion.
ANNNND Texas is going to the Pac 10 along with OSU, OU, and TT. Announcement on Tuesday. No word on A&M, yet. This is of course from Chip Brown on Orangebloods.
FWIW

Just spoke with my friend at the Big Ten.
The offer to Missouri is contingent upon Texas AND/OR ND joining. Will post more details as I hear.
--- 6/10 Morning Update:
I do have somewhat of an update as of this morning. I say somewhat because it depends not on the Big Ten itself, but on a number of non-Big Ten schools. This whole process (the expansion strategies, not the message board banter) is absolutely fascinating.
So let me first say that the Big Ten is aware of the original message board thread and believes that it has played a role in bringing about the discussions to where they are now, for better or worse. My friend has kept me in the loop continuously, and as of this point there are some things, if disclosed, that can hurt the negotiation process for the Big Ten. There are others that can help. And I'm a low-risk outlet for information because I have no credibility (other than the 30,000 page views primarily from large southern and eastern states - to you I say thank you for giving Northwestern a moment to occupy the center of the college football world. I believe this will become more commonplace in the future as Pat Fitzgerald continues to build a program of excellence in Evanston.) (One other thing: Northwestern owns justIowa. Remember that.)
The "somewhat" update is two parts, as follows: First, some very interesting things are happening in the Big East right now. If I said anything more about that, it would jeopardize the position of the Big Ten, so suffice it to say that this depends on the status of that school in South Bend.
Second, after the hasty entry of Nebraska, the Big Ten presidents are less unified on letting schools of questionable academic merits into the conference. In fact, blocs of voting Big Ten members have emerged in support of and in opposition to certain schools becoming admitted into the conference. This relates to the first part in that disclosures of the schools in discussion would jeopardize the position of the Big Ten.
Sorry for the "somewhat" update, but things will become clear soon enough. For now, keep your eyes on South Bend and Austin.

--- 6/10 Evening Update:
Wow. Update.
Big Ten targeting only Texas and ND as of this afternoon, pending the outcome of A&M's status with the SEC.
---6/11 Morning Update from the office:
Had an update this morning. Same story as yesterday, Missouri must convince Texas & A&M to come to the conference for Mizzou to get an invite, while the Big East schools must pressure Notre Dame to either join fully (which it won't do) or leave the conference. Big Ten may move forward with Texas and ND only, but Texas must ensure that it has done whatever it can to ensure its former Big Twelve partners find a good home. Texas administration is internally divided, and Orangebloods is connected to only one side of the conversation - the side that has not been involved with the strategy all along.

---6/11 Afternoon update: Texas and A&M are in contact with and
negotiating with the Big Ten and presumably other conferences. My friend is in the middle of it, and told me that Texas is playing the "we don't want to join a conference that just broke our conference up" card. Also,
It is clear that there is internal division within Texas. Some are pretty emotional. There is anger that the Big Ten broke up their conference. Clearly others within Texas involved in the Texas push to the Big Ten.
Delaney broke the seal with Nebraska. Big Ten confident that less emothional heads will prevail, and Texas will realize the Big Ten offers the best package for Texas and college football as a whole.
Definite change of expectation that everything will shake out today. General surprise and excitement that Nebraska has gone to Big Ten.
This is awesome to watch!

Kind of dumb for the Big Ten to expect Missouri to have that kind of pull with the Texas schools. Why wouldn't they just want the St. Louis market on it's own the way the Pac10 picked up Denver? A couple million tv sets isn't that bad.
