If Texas can make all kinds of money while in the Big 12, and have a viable BCS conference that legitmizes what they do so they don't have to try and posture for the BCS or whatever, than they're not going to go independent. 

Oh, and anyone who thinks the bowls are just going to line up and say they'll be a part of some playoff easily is absolutely insane.

[Belvis Noland]

Dax, is K-State better off in a 12-team league?  

[kstater]

ND's non revenue clears the concern BYU has on their nonrevenue freeing up their FB correct?

14 is a scheduling nightmare and splits the money too much.  Let's get to 12 solid.

Yes, but not for football.

Knowledgeable source says Interim Big 12 commissioner Chuck Neinas' scheduled visit to Mizzou this week postponed indefinitely

Expectation is that Neinas still will visit Columbia at some point

Unless that 14 included ND football I can't see how the money would work out

Yes, but not for football.

sure, but they need one.  which other conference are they going to join?  You see Texas basketball/baseball playing in the MWC?  The SEC/PAC/Big10 aren't letting them in without football.  

[sonofdaxjones]

Yes, Texas needs a conference.   They have a huge fanbase, but they ain't a church with millions of members.

Guess that means deal is done........just not sure which one.

That's why they are bringing ND to the Big XII.  They want to keep us together, but they don't need us for football.

We would never agree to that.

[catzacker]

Notre Dame hasn't needed a conference since forever...and since the BCS started, they've ABSOLUTELY DOMINATED COLLEGE FOOTBALL as an independent.  Every year you can just flat out take a permanent marker and write NOTRE DAME in to the BCS.

I see what you did there

[sonofdaxjones]

Because Notre Dame could deliver markets like NYC, a market that generally doesn't care about college sports.  

But Notre Dame's current TV Contract only pays $15 million a year and a huge portion of that goes to pay the opponents that appear.

[Ira Hayes]

And now we know why Notre Dame is so eager to get their football team into a conference.  Thanks, fellas!

Of course we will.  NU is in the Big 10, A&M is in the SEC, CU is in the PAC12.  MU is probably gone.  What the hell else are we gonna do?

[Barry McCockner]

634 pages and we end up with another mid major Texas school.  If MU stays and we end it here at 10, color me disappointed.
