GabeDeArmond    Sources tell PowerMizzou.com Mike Alden will meet with Tiger coaches this afternoon at 4 p.m.

Mike Anderson will be in tears, so will Gary Pinkle but his will be from joy.  

Or it's to tell them that the Big 12 has officially booted them with the replacement of Arkansas.

I have to admit that I will be in tears of joy also.  I may have to excuse myself from work.

Can't wait to hear Fitz report on scooping dog crap at 3.

BloomOnHoops    For Aggies, the economics go beyond just a TV deal. Now it's about ticket sales and program energy. Fans haven't been this excited in YEARS.

[EMAWzified]

So is MU going to make the commitment they couldn't bring themselves to do two weeks ago?

Really, shazbot! them.

greggdoyelcbs    TxA&M regent Gene Stallings wants B12 to live! Assuming Aggies don't get sweet deal elsewhere. Thanks Gene. News: http://bit.ly/a7NEKf

Mizzou better not eff this up.

If the conference formerly known as the Big 12 holds, an awful lot of people will owe and apology to this guy as well:

Why? Because a tv network contacted him with a deal that held together the conference?

I don't see how you can blame Beebe for the loss of Colorado and Nebraska.  There are a whole host of reasons for why those schools jumped ship.  Beebe just put together a great plan to keep the rest of the conference together in a relatively short period of time.  As fast as things were moving last week, I give Beebe a lot of credit for working his ass off and getting the job done.  When all is said and done, the new Big 12 might be better than ever.

Looks like we may not know until later this week...

    
Texas A&M regent Stallings wants Big 12 to survive

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas A&M regent Gene Stallings says he wants the Big 12 to survive -- and would vote to keep the Aggies in the league if they don't get a much better offer from another conference.

Stallings told the Associated Press on Monday that keeping the Big 12 together "would tickle me to death."

Stallings coached Alabama to a football national championship in 1992. If Texas A&M moves, he'd rather see the Aggies go to the Southeastern Conference than the Pac-10.

But Stallings says the last thing he wants to see is the Big 12 break apart. Aggies officials have met with Pac-10 and SEC officials in recent days.

Regents at Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State have scheduled meetings Tuesday and Wednesday to discuss conference allegiances. Stallings says he expects Texas A&M regents to meet later this week.

The Big 12(10) should somehow force NU to have to write a physical check instead of just losing revenue

Source from one of the North schools tells me that their coaches have been told their school has been saved. Big 12 minus 2 living it seems. 2 minutes ago via Twitter for BlackBerry®

What part of "he should have been doing this crap 4 years ago" didn't get through?

This is who we will be thanking.

I still can't believe anyone could think K-State could be better off in any realistic situation not aligned with Texas.  Unbelievable really.

I will love being in the Big TeXas Conference.

jimmiekaska: Big 12 might save their league after all. Neat. Because Iowa State vs Texas every year will rock.

I would send them their revenue check, but have the bank and cancel that check right before I dropped it in the mail.

would be cool to make the check a really big one like happy gilmore kept winning in the movie.

How many more times will I flip flop on what I thinks going to happen before something is announced. 8?

That's how I picture it.  And Tom has to write it in front of Deloss (who's smoking a cigar and counting a wad of hundreds right in his face).

I congratulate Beebe on getting rid of CU and NU.  GOD BLESS YOU DAN BEEBE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111 (for getting rid of CU and NU).
