Once again, thank you Texas.

They can easily leave to a bigger and more prestigious conference and make just as much money. But they have morals.

I hate feeling like a bad guy for our eventual raiding of the Big East.

Sorry Big East.   I feel for ya, I really do.  :cry:

It's like we're twin brothers but we (Big 12) have a failing kidney.

We both have failing kidneys, and we plan on stealing the Big East's while they sleep and leaving them in a bath tub full of ice to die in Mexico.

Yes. There isn't a university in this nation that has done more for Kansas State than Texas. Thank you, Texas.

 :kstategrad:

negotiation - setting up OU as the bad guy. more ridiculous bullshit.

I should have been more clear.

 :kstategrad: <---- K-State

no, this is nothing for K-State to get excited about. The best thing for KSU is what provides the most stability, and that is not what UT wants. UT is trying to say they are the committed ones in this relationship and that OU is the problem. So the statement was definitely not worth celebrating.

Texas isn't hampering stability, other meet peepers like A&M and OU are.  Texas isn't trying to put anyone out of business, they are just trying to make money and there's nothing wrong with that.  OU just needs to be comfortable with the fact that they are #2 in this conference and if they went to the SEC or PAC that position would get significantly worse.  OU and A&M's middle child complex is the biggest threat to the conference.  Don't forget the quotes from Lofin and Boren that started this crap.

Let's compile a list of teams and conferences and people who are kicking themselves in the nuts right now, and why.  


--Larry Scott, for CU and Utah.  (Although this allows them to have a championship game, which obviously is super money-y.  But still, I gotta think he's kicking himself in the nuts.)

--Mike Slive, for having 13 members.

--???
Why in the world would Larry Scott kick himself in the nuts.  He brought the PAC 10 to PAC 12 and made the conference rich with network contracts.  JFC, that is just a stupid statement.
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

Because CU/Utah are just stupid additions. The money was going to be there regardless.

Wow doom amazing point, I didn't think about it in those terms.  Thanks as always for contributing so much to the conversation.  Do you have any tips on basement remodeling as well?

They shouldn't be self-centered?  Also worth pointing out that everything they have done to acquire more money for themselves was completely approved by the membership of the Big 12 Conference.

Seriously, how amazing would the conference tourney be with Louisville and West Virginia in the fold.  Damn.




I want BYU and Louisville no matter what the scenario may be.  WVU would be great, but the travel.

I guess, in terms of footprint, BYU, Louisville, and WVU would be our best bet.  Logistically, BYU, Louisville, and TCU make the most sense.

Quote
In late August 2010, new expansion plans were revealed for Bronco Stadium. The first stages will include adding a new facility to the north endzone, which will house the football offices, weight room, training room, equipment room and locker room. This would also include a 13,200 seat grandstand. The later stages of the expansion plan include: removing the track, lowering the field, and adding 3,300 seats in front of the first deck of the stadium; completing the south endzone horseshoe; building an east side skybox; and renovating the east side concourse. The expansions may be divided up into as many as six phases. The total cost for all planned expansions is around $100 million. The total seating capacity for a fully expanded Bronco Stadium is estimated to be around 53,000. The Boise State athletic director aims to have the north endzone complex open in time for the 2013 season.
