I remember going to Big 8 games as a townie kid. Everyone we played was right across the border. Losing Colorado, Nebraska, and Missouri was a major bummer.

At this point lets just kick UT and OU out of the conf. out of spite, and watch them get turned down by the other conferences so they have to go independent and then have the big 12 get to a 16 team conference with east vs. west divisions.

I'm sure this is probably a terrible idea...I'm just sick of UT and OU's bullshit.

KSU should be proactive and a leader of the orphans in getting into the PAC.  Get DEN-MHK routes set up.  PAC people seem open to taking in Big 12 scraps.

OU and Texas have all the money in the world.  Moving to SEC is purely to stay competitive with recruiting.  They don’t want a 5-star QB from Dallas to choose Bama and make millions from local Texas businesses.  I’m confident this is all happening because of NIL.

How in the world would moving to the SEC help them in recruiting? If Texas wants to get better at recruiting, they're already pretty damn good, they should hire better recruiters.

OU and UT employ business and operations intelligence people to monitor financial reports, industry moves, moves made by rivals, etc.   It appears that OU and UT have concluded that the upcoming TV deals are not going to satisfy their revenue requirements, and that the broadcast landscape has changed entirely.  They are going to move pre-emptively to preserve their program status - we've all seen how quickly OU can throw the conference under the bus, this should come as no surprise. 

My only consolation?  We aren't being subjected to the moronic musings of OU's David Boren.

Great post

Texas could always go independent. We should also angle for deal where KS/OU schools go to the PAC. Advantages include PAC getting more than scraps and not breaking up OK schools.

It's not a terrible idea at all, the only real issue with it is that kicking them out would make the rest of the conference forfeit their GOR money and we need that more than they do.

They have to be thrilled with this. They are negotiating their new media deal right now. The new commissioner was just handed a great opportunity.

Massive subscribership in the South and Texas, the rest of the country DGAF.

I suppose they can merge to a Mega Conference with the handful of BiG powers.

Highly regional, zero viewership in the Northeast, and the West basically says eff it.

The SEC should leave the NCAA and go semi-pro. 16 teams is enough to do that.

I'm sometimes shocked by how slow some of our fans are. It's like they took a Dan Beebe or Bob Bowlsby approach to conference realignment these past 10 years.

I’m handling this worse than I expected.  It will have to be a straight CFB divorce for me.

I'll also stop watching CFB entirely (probably basketball, too, once the NCAA falls apart and March Madness is gone). I don't think that is handling things poorly, though. I also don't watch minor league baseball. If college athletics is going to be a farm league for the pros that my school doesn't even participate in, then why the hell would I watch?

This is exactly where I'm at.

I'm certain in the context that theory was posted those high volume posters were correct after all that Missouri and A&M joined the conference 10 years ago. I don't know if you can hold on to a lottery ticket for 10-13 years then get to cash it in when your numbers eventually hit.

I really hope that the Big 12 decides to make the horns down legal again in their meeting today.
