Not good, not good at all.

He can't even give us a, everything will be fine, Curry and Shultz are on top of things.

We're mumped

Lock it up.

Everyone needs to put on their big boy pants.

The two most important cogs in this wheel are OU and MU at this point, and they're on the expansion committee.  So let's just let this play out a little bit.  We're hearing Big East names on the radar, and we're hearing that the conference may go back to twelve.  It sounds like they're serious right now.

And don't listen to one person or report that says the Big East is stable as a reason why Pitt our Louisville wouldn't be interested.  The Big East's expansion candidates are, in order: Villanova, UCF...open season on C-USA.

Villanova.  Vill...a...nova.

We offer a guaranteed pay day...now.   The Big East has no idea what they will renegotiate for.  We have a billion dollar second-tier contract, and the first tier rights will be back up in four years (three years after they join) so the money will get even better.  If Pitt and Louisville join, the basketball will be fantastic.  If BYU comes, this league is as good as the Pac-12 top to bottom.

Pac 12 still an option

ND will stay independent

Aggie had chance to get in on network deal but weren't interested (i.e. its Aggies fault the Big 12 is blowing up not ours)

Of course he's going to say the Pac-12 is an option.  The only person in this entire saga that has actually been honest and direct about anything is Dodds.

Quote from: Kirk Bohls, quoting Deloss Dodds
You don't ever close any doors

yeah, that's pretty much like when a company that's struggling says "we have no plans for layoffs".  pretty much means there's going to be layoffs.

I've said it multiple times, we will be fine regardless. Everybody just needs to be patient. Take all news with a grain of salt, especially national media people.

Why does everyone think Texas really doesn't want the Big 12 to survive?  This is the absolute best situation for them assuming we retain AQ status (which we would).

They run their own BCS conference with a partner (OU).  Now they can add a Jr. Partner (Missouri) to run this joint.  Everyone else just thanks God that they're a part of the firm.

Texas will keep this thing alive as long as humanly possible.

Don’t get me wrong, a crippled, blind, nuetered Big East is far better than a clean cut, juniper smelling mountain west, but “fine” is a broad term.

I think OU will be the next to put in their letter of resignation.  OU, OSU, Texas and TT? on their way to the PAC16.   MO will be on their way to SEC.

We'll be fine in the Big East.......

Sure.  but it won't last.  just a slow death. which is fine, I suppose.  slowly ksu can work itself into the ridiculously smaller budget it will have to work with.  I can't imagine that tv deal will sniff the current one.

Pan, if this continues (and I speak for most of us here) I am going to have to ask you to return from where you came from.

OU's AD is in charge of the committee to find replacement for A&M.  Use common sense....he's not going to take the time out of his day to do that if he's packing up and leaving.   :dubious:
