Emawmeister is back! I thought about this a lot and I’m pretty sure no one in the big 12 is getting invited anywhere and we end up adding a handful of g5 schools and serve as a bit of a juiced up American Conference. We make less money but we still have our friends. Which is all I really care about anyway.I don’t think any school or group of schools in the leftovers makes the pie slices bigger for any other conference. Why would the Big 10 schools agree to take on ISU if it meant less money for them? Why would the PAC agree to feed 4 more mouths? EDIT: I see MIR already said this. Great minds etc

Great minds etcAgreed that the most likely scenario is that the remaining Big 8 and their crew of flunkies just cobble together a shitty conference with bits of string and some duct tape. I really hope A&M leaves the SEC, though, like a jilted lover who runs into an ex at party.
Anyone else think Oklahoma is just rough ridin' with Texas? Like "Oh ya bud, you jump we jump" and when Texas jumps OU just looks down and laughs and carries on with the Big12.

None of them have anywhere to go if the Big 12 breaks up. In theory I don't think the anyone else left over does either but at least Tech, OSU, K-State, KU, and ISU can wish either the Pac 12 or Big 10 wants them. Baylor, TCU, and WVU don't harbor those dreams. The ACC already told WVU to eff off. I think the Big 12 ultimately stays together, adds Houston, UCF, and two of Cincinnati, BYU, Memphis, USF, or Boise. If KU somehow finds their way to the Big 10, who would be their 16th? then we'll add five from that list. I also wouldn't completely dismiss Nebraska coming back. In this scenario KU likely replaces Nebraska in the Big 10, which is hilarious.Think Arkansas and the AZ schools might slide into our DM’s?

We'll find out tomorrow, but I don't think it will go thru until 2025. No rough ridin' way is Texas or Oklahoma are giving up 80 million each to jump into a conference that will need to feed to more mouths.
Does anyone on here have any love left for the SEC?I don't. I think to me, that's the most frustrating and upsetting part about all of this. For the last decade, just saying "SEC" brought a smile to all of our faces. It meant something. We were part of something special and it was heads and shoulders above the type of "community" any other conference could pretend to have. We all fit in. We were on top as a conference and there wasn't a close 2nd.All of that is gone now. There's no excitement to being in the SEC now for a lot of reasons. We made this conference a **** ton of money and for what, to have them go behind the scenes and court our rivals behind our backs? You have 2 other AAU schools in the entire conference and one of those happens to be the 2nd most profitable athletic dept in collegiate sports, just recently edged out by tu. And this is how you treat that brand?**** the SEC. There's no affinity there anymore. It doesn't mean dick to me or any other Ag anymore. Who cares. This isn't woe is me, it just is what it is. The SEC had something special and sold its soul. This benefits no one in this conference. Not one school will benefit here. The cons far outweigh the increase in revenue. Much like the state of Texas and that dump of a city where tu is located, the SEC is losing their character and their way with this move. OU kind of fits the mold at least personality-wise. tu is so over the top liberal at this point, its once lovely campus is a big ol homeless stain these days and Austin has NONE of the "cool" aspects that once made it such a fun and unique town.Superconferences, NIL, backstabbing, players ditching bowl games.....so much for the sport of college football that so many of us called our favorite sport.Aside from everything, every Aggie should feel slighted in the way that this has gone down. We're not Iowa State, we're not Arizona State or Pitt or some other spare school that just doesn't move the needle for their respective conferences. If it absolutely had to happen to get ahead on the inevitable super conference arms race (which all of us were told was decades away), then so be it. But, for it to happen like this? F the SEC. We're clearly not family and we're better than this (and not in the whorns unjustifiably arrogant ways).

Are the KU / ISU begging to get in B10 going to mump Big 12 as a going concern?

OU and Texas games removed. Anyone want to add up total viewers for each school's games?
