I hear Oklahoma, OK State and 2 other B12 schools approached Big Ten as package and were told no. Academic reasons.

oh man

jfc.  Goddamnit.  I'm officially in panic mode.

Here's the thing, who was it?  Couldn't have been Texas.  ISU wouldn't get the time of day from OSU/OU.  Mizzou allegedly courting SEC.....was it KU/KSU?  LOL if it was.

it didn't happen, dumbasses.

This.

With A&M all but in SEC, I think Texas' preferences in order: Big 12 with 10, Big 12 with nine, Pac-12, Big Ten, independent. #ut

BYU, Louisville not interested in Big 12

If - or when - the Big 12 starts seeking a replacement for Texas A&M, at least two possible candidates told CBSSports.com they are not interested.

BYU, which left the Mountain West last season to become an independent, plans to remain an independent, while Louisville is happy to remain in the Big East.

"We have not been contacted by anybody," BYU athletic director Tom Holmoe said. "We are very happy with our partnerships and relationships with ESPN, BYUtv and the West Coast Conference [in BYU's Olympic sports.]

"We like the plans we have made as an independent in football and with the West Coast Conference. We are moving forward fast on that path and getting ready for a big season."

Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich said the Cardinals are excited about the future of the Big East.

The league recently turned down a nine-year, $1.4 billion media rights deal from ESPN and is line for an even bigger deal in the next couple years from ESPN, NBC/Comcast or Fox.

"We are very happy where we are," Jurich said.

One official at a BCS conference, that could be affected by Texas A&M's move to the SEC and the resulting dominos, said Saturday he had not heard of any new developments.

"The only news is whatever your colleagues make up," he said jokingly.

yeah, that's the only "logical" combo...but, like, that still seems illogical.  can you imagine?  ku/ksu and ou/osu showing up at the door of the big 10?  ku and ksu at the back porch step trying to make sure each of their bolo ties were straight, osu trying to make sure that it's money clip is "kinda" showing in its hand but not blatantly obvious, and OU spritzing itself with some Polo cologne....then nebraska answers the door.

my god. an mspaint of this would be outstanding.

I loved how greg swaim predicted you'll see BYU and UL would turn down Big 12 offers and then slyly tweeted this five minutes later.

I'm just glad we are actually (maybe) doing something instead of just sitting around twiddling our thumbs and waiting for Texas' teat to present itself so we can have our afternoon snack.

That was awesome last year when this all played out that they didn't bother signing anything because everyone had looked each other in the eye and shook hands.

From some dude on Shaggy Bevo, quoting Orange Bloods

Quote
"He said talks have been under way with the Pac 10 and a way to work out the LHN. OU is so ready to make the jump they are green lighting the LHN now that they are working their own deal. Tech and OSU just happy to be included and politically they won't complain about either school's network. He said if Texas, OU, Tech and OSU do make the jump, the pact 10 has plans for a system to determine a conf champ. He said it's ground-breaking and will change the way college football determines a champion. He said Texas is in a great position and will come out of this better than any expected. More money, bigger games, and more exposure to the program than ever before."
