Or if he did do something to save the Big 12 it wasn't very effective becasue, as was just being discussed, Missouri, Nebraska, Colorado, and A&M are all now gone.

Des Moines television station gave Jamie Pollard credit for "helping keep the big 12 together." Did I miss or forget something?

No, he didn't do crap.

Not true. I doubt he missed a single conference call or meeting that he was invited to. I'd bet a lot of money that he had perfect attendance when invited.
He probably threw a tantrum when somebody mentioned the breakup. Drove everyone crazy, didn't break up.

Gonna win 'em all!

He stood up to those refs when no one else would.

I think it was Pollard's idea to give all the NU and CU buyout money to OU and Texas

Meh, at the end of the day, there will be four super-conferences. The fourth super-conference will be scraps from the ACC/Big 12. There is no way ADJC and ADJP would have put upwards of $200mil each into football facilities if we were AACbound. We'll be fine guys.

I would love to go all in on the royals and sporting. How do we kill college athletics?

Keep sending out SZ style sleeper cells to become the ADs at other schools. It will start out slowly but gain momentum as the dominos start to fall. I would suggest setting our sites on Duke next. Being a basketball oriented school, they shouldn't be hard to crack. Let's see if we can get them to tear up the (admittedly beautiful, but we'll never admit it to them) track around their football field by calling it small-timey and gross.

It's not like we don't have a blueprint for this sort of thing. Just stick to the script.

You're right. He was ready to sign the Ken Starr lawsuit. That's got to count for something.

He helped keep the Big 12 together in the same sense that Juwan Howard helped win an NBA title*

Someone had to serve refreshments and cut up the orange slices for between meeting breaks. Serious effort guys.

The prospect of adding Houston and some other team that no one gives a crap about playing just makes the Mountain West seem more appealing.

Houston is so gross like way more gross than Cincy or Memphis combined.

chum1 · « **Reply #26843 on:** December 02, 2015, 08:10:51 PM »

Is their large offer to Herman a sign that they know they'll be getting a piece of the Big 12 pie?

I don't know, maybe Houston with Air Force wouldn't be that bad.

I definitely do NOT want Houston. However, the Mountain West is dirt poor relative to the Big 12. Let's just wait until football is banned, THEN look into the Mountain West. Until then, let's just ride this annuity stream.

I'm only thinking about when OU blows the Big XII up, when they don't get in the CFP this year.

Pete · « **Reply #26848 on:** December 02, 2015, 10:37:06 PM »

There are no more good options for expansion.

Katpappy · « **Reply #26849 on:** December 02, 2015, 10:50:59 PM »

Air Force/Navy would add a national air to the Big XII. Plus easy wins for us.
