WHAT WILL WE BE CALLED?!?

 :runaway:

I think we're just holding onto Big 12 to stick it to the Big 10.  Big 12 also owns the rights to Big 14, Big 16 and Big 18 iirc

A little info FITZ has been sitting on but revealed last night is if Conference Armageddon had occurred and Texas and the South + NU & CU had jumped ship and there were only four members of the Big XII standing we would have been fine.  Just added some teams like UNLV and Tulsa to fill the voids but we definitely would have retained BCS status.  Just lost a little "sexiness" without Texas in the league. 

Just a little FYI, if you were ever concerned.  Turns out we shouldn't have been.

say what you want about fitz, but the guy knows his audience and gives em what they want. basically a def leppard concert with pour some sugar on me played twenty or so times with an occasional love bites and lets get the rock outta here sprinkled in just to even things out so as not to appear too biased.

From our fearless leader, Dan Beebe:

Quote
“We’re in a great place. You know, we were kind of the innovators coming on the scene with 12 members, us and the SEC, and now we’re going to 10, doing it the old-fashioned way. Maybe we should be the Old-Fashioned Conference.”

Doesn't matter.  All sexiness(and solid recruits for anyone other than TX and OU) will be lost once they rename us the Prairie league.

He is right that "we would have been fine" But the rest of that is not accurate. Not sure where he is getting Tulsa and UNLV.

Why anyone thinks Fitz has any insight at all into the current K-State AthDept is beyond me. Its always "oh yeah we knew that, but were asked to hold off." Which is code for, "we found out the same time you did from Meek, JMart, goEMAW or one of our own posters."

Seriously.  I hope Fitz eats himself to death one of these days.  What a garbage human being.

They're AGGIES!

A big deal in a Texas.  Just ask them.

If they went to the SEC, then I can look forward to an 80 year old Paul Finebaum writing a column about how stupid it was for the SEC to expand and add A&M, just like he did a month ago or so when he reminded everyone that South Carolina and Arkansas haven't done jack$hit since joining the SEC in 1992.

And like he did yesterday with Vanderbilt.

I'm pretty sure that none of those teams were promised 20 mil every year. Revenue distribution is staying the way it is now. The more you are on TV the more and higher bowl games you go to the more cash you get. Or atlest thats the impression i'm under.

Could honestly not care less if A&M cut loose from the conference.  I'd rather they do that than pay them $20 mil.

Captain Crap is much like Nostradamus in that he always keeps things vague enough to leave himself an escape.  It's very easy to say "that's not how things would have worked out" without actually explaining how things would have worked out.

Yeah, it's a tricky tight rope to walk to try to get him to spill it.  You can't PI him or he'll bolt.  You can't ask all whiny or he'll lose respect for you and not say.  What do you do? :dunno:
