Smoke your cigars and enjoy the band while you can....

Agree with hillwalking that a jump to the P10 is the best move for the EMAJ. Sure, they may lose a couple of fans to murder by EMAW, but ultimately it's the best thing they can do.

From the Journal World 10:18 a.m. Update:

The Orange County Register has learned that Pac-10 officials will meet with KU tonight at an undisclosed location.

The meeting comes as no surprise in the wake of Sunday’s rumors that Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott was en route to Kansas City. His plane never landed at KCI, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t get to the area somehow, somewhere.

Sources told me late Sunday night that KU’s meeting with the Pac-10 was going down but that it was a back-up plan for KU, as it was looking more and more like the Big 12 may stay together.

Who did Lew give a hummer to in order to get that Orange Bowl bid?  Maybe they could compare notes with the Pac 10 guys.

If Pac-10 offers us, and we turn it down to stay with Texas, I'm going to become full EMAW.  Dumbest Fracking move in the world.  I think Pac-10 offers us a one time invite to force the league down to 9, pushing UT west.

Yep.  

pac 10 dude: so you wanna come to the pac 10?  
Ku dude:  well we are thinking that sticking around will be a good move for us
pac 10: if you dont come now then texas will leave you in the lurch in a few years and you will be screwed anyway
ku dude: oh, yeah i guess were in then

ku becomes the 3rd team to bolt, 2nd to the pac

UT, TT, OSU, ??? to the pac and ATM and OU to the sec Mizzou to the Big 10 ISU and KSU sword fighting in a mid major somewhere...


but cap'n crap said that we will be fine so i'm not worried about this actually happening.

[pissclams]

I don't think KU moves before UT declares.  Would be too risky.

[William Wallace]

I didn't see it and evidently it was removed........

Texas stands to make between $20 mil and $25 mil per yr under a proposed new TV pkg presented by Dan Beebe, plus UT's own network.

Looks like the mouthpiece is providing UT with some nice leverage against the PAC 10

[mcmwcat]

replacing 4 Ws against nebraska/colorado in basketball schedule with 6 extra games vs the south may be too scary for KU

The latest information, which was relayed to PowerMizzou.com late last night is that the Aggies may have told the SEC they would like Missouri to be included in that league's expansion as well.

No matter what happens, when this is all over I'm going to be just a little bit sad to see this thread go.  This is the greatest thread in history and can probably never be topped.  When we're all   we'll see a great thread and say "Yeah, but it's NOTHING like that 'smoke your cigars' thread back in ought-ten!"

Well if the Big 12 (10) stays around after all this, we might as well keep this stickied because we will go through all this in a couple years again.

As long as we can stay away from falling to the MWC, I'll take whatever.

I am going to Walgreen's to buy my grandmother some prune juice (not kidding).  When I come back I expect to see the Big XII together for the long haul and making millions for Kazzu Univ.   tia.

Regarding DUMBSTICK's info posted by SBG, confirmed that at least one Big 12 south school is actively lobbying the Pac 10 for KU to be included as part of the group, due to the basketball program.  

Said school, which in Big 8 days maintained a well-known rivalry with one of the schools that bolted last Friday, is also really, really pissed with that school for bolting and trying to throw everyone else under the bus.  Has totally changed the perception of the school that bolted and its AD.

I've got it....the Big 12 stays intact with 10, after 2 years we add teams to avoid sharing the pending revenue from NU and CU.
