ChipBrownOB    Take 2: Ian McCaw of Bay on radio show @1049TheHorn rt now and says NU and CU would have 80% forfeiture of TV $ over TWO YEARS

 

how does this work since it appears both NU and CU will leave after 2010?  There won't be 2 years to garnish.

So do the garnishments start for this years pile of loot??

You mean this past academic year, or the academic year starting this august?

Little suprised we had to garnish CU.  Seems like Boulder is flush with California money.  Not at all surprised we had to garnish UNL.  Guess it was nice of us to save them the returned check fees they would have undoubtedly accrued otherwise.  Plus, I'm sure they've already pawned anything of value in the state to pay for meth.  And whatever embalming ritual keeps Dr Tom looking somewhat likelike.

Fracking hate JJ, but he gets done what he wants done and this could be an amazing slap in the Big Telven's face and more stuff for us to laugh at Nebraska about.

Yes . . . I know they've announced the total money 2009-2010, have they doled it out yet??

KU's basketball program blows them out of the water, and the football program is about the same. 

If by "about the same," you mean "not at all," then yes, they're about the same.

What's the difference? 


 

See PowercatPat's response. Not trying to bash on KU here, but it's hard to say they're the same. Here's OSU's record against the North in the last 5 years:

2009: 3-0
2008: 3-0
2007: 2-1
2006: 2-1
2005: 0-3

KU's record against the south:
2009: 0-3
2008: 0-3
2007: 3-0
2006: 0-3
2005: 0-3

Combined that's 10-5 for OSU against the north and 3-12 for KU against the South. Add that with T. Boone's money, OSU's recruiting pipeline in Texas, and increasingly sustained success since 2006, and I don't think you can really put the programs on par right now.

Shouldn't you compare KU's record against the North with Oklahoma State's record against the North?  That would seem to make more sense when you're comparing programs.  The bottom line is that neither KU or Oklahoma State are big-time programs... Oklahoma State has better tradition and is slightly more consistent, but attendance and things like that are pretty similar.

Notre Dame, Arkansas: Come on Down

by Tom Keegan

Jerry Jones, owner of the Dallas Cowboys, former University of Arkansas football player and big-time power broker in the world of professional and now college athletics, is the driving force behind a potential move that would make the Big 12 the most compelling conference in the history of college football.
Jones, according to a source familiar with his thinking, wants his alma mater to play in a league with former Southwest Conference rivals Texas and Texas A&M. A visionary, Jones sees the Big 12 expanding with Arkansas and Notre Dame. Such a conference alignment turns on TV sets across America and sends cash gushing out of Big 12 faucets everywhere.

Since moving to the SEC, Arkansas football, once a loud national brand, has faded. Lack of SEC television exposure in Texas, at least until the past couple of years, has eroded what used to be the Razorbacks’ primary recruiting base. The decline of the status of Arkansas’ football program runs deeper than the talent that takes the field every Saturday. The Hogs haven’t developed rivalries as intense as they had in the SWC with their SEC brethren since the football team began participating in the league in 1992.

Not that SEC rivalries don’t exist for Arkansas, but they don’t match those the Hogs had with Texas and A&M. The Golden Boot, a 24-karat gold trophy in the shape of Arkansas and Louisiana, is awarded to the winner of the LSU game, but only since 1996. Arkansas first played Ole Miss in 1908 and the teams played seven overtimes in a 2001 meeting. Nice, but not quite Texas.

When Jones throws money and influence behind an idea, it tends to work for all parties, especially himself. He purchased the Cowboys for $150 million in 1989. Forbes.com estimates the franchise’s value at $1.65 billion and puts Jones’ net worth at $1.2 billion. Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, would make a nice permanent home for the Big 12 football championship game, just as the Sprint Center would for the Big 12 basketball tourney.
It’s more difficult to read Notre Dame’s feelings because the school’s officials don’t get involved in doing business publicly. For all the hits Notre Dame takes as a so-called “hype machine,” the school deserves credit for conducting itself with class.

Conspiracy theorists wonder whether the Big Ten, long lusting after Notre Dame, will try to lure the Fighting Irish by recruiting a few Big East schools, blowing up that conference and leaving ND with nowhere else to turn. Ole Notre Dame would not reinforce such evil tactics and could find a more profitable home by joining hands with Texas and the other 10 institutions, including Arkansas, to form a Big 12 TV network that would blow away the hugely successful Big Ten Network.
Asked Tuesday about expansion plans, Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe said, “We’re not looking to expand at all and certainly we wouldn’t look to expand with any institutions that are in our geographic, five-state area.”

Those five states are Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas. Notre Dame is in Indiana. Arkansas is in Arkansas. Oh Danny Boy, make it happen. Bring the Irish and Hogs to the Big 12.

Stop feeding ben the attention he so desperately wants.


Would be pretty awesome if JJ pressures Beebe into pursuing Arkansas and Notre Dame.  Not that Notre Dame would join us, but the fact that we would be "talking to the Big10's crush" would be hilarious.

[MadCat]

Respect.

I like them the most, because they are very forthright about this.  First, Texas gives us money. Then, Texas gives us power.  Then, Texas gives us women.  They don't care that they have to basically ride Texas' coat-tails.  They get money and don't have to play in ConferenceDRNK!!

Looks like the Chicken-Littles were wrong yet again.  What more will it take for you to put your faith in LHC Bill Snyder and the new President and AD?  You all could have saved a lot of tears and gnashing of teeth if you would have listened to people like me more often.  

But then again this place wouldn't be the playground for all the kiddies if you weren't whining about something every five minutes.

1)  Walking- I will pay, right now, for a premium membership to that site.  Hurry the eff up!  2)  Gonna go out on a limb and say that OSU's Big 12 foootball win/loss record is significantly better than ku's.  Even while playing in the big boys division.
