Chip Brown currently on ESPN Austin. He's saying that the Pac 10/Big 12 TV deal may be spurring these offers.

Brown: "A&M wants no part of a conference where Texas has its own network," hence the SEC talk.

I'm gonna hate texas even more than I already do if they somehow eff up us being conference bros with UNLV.

Everybody step back from the ledge. Tim Weiser and Dan Beebe will figure this out.

Plus, according to the powertards this is still at least 3 to 4 years out.

Mods, please set up a paypal account to start raising money right now for the Cabela's gift card. Mods?

I say shazbot! the Cabela's card at this point. It's going to take some pheasants and guns. And lots of them. Time for people to start digging deep around here if we've got any shot at Tim Weiser saving the Big XII from oblivion.

I just hope that sort of stuff is still enticing to him. What if those Pac-10 hippies have already gotten inside his head?

He still has too much Emporia in him. Tim's a simple man. He lives a Big XII lifestyle. Just give him a gun, some animals, two paychecks and four full months of vacation in a twelve month calendar year and he's content.

The Pac-10 and her temptress, whoring mouth will never sway him.

Now if the Pac-10 starts waving some Mountain Quail, or Trophy Muley trips Tim's way . . . game over bro, game f'ing OVER!!

so, like, anyone think this was, in part, leaked by UT officials to scare the sh*t out of the conference? i'd doubt that the pac-10 let's them in if UT's ultimate (and publicly stated) goal is to have their own network, but if they scared the sh*t out of every big 12 member by threatening to leave, everyone would allow them or not block their ability to establish their own network.

It's certainly effective with those not on the list to be included in the PAC-10 deal. It would also be quite a slap in the face to Mizzou, and possibly Nebraska. However, because OU is involved, it makes me think that there is some truth in it. Though, OU would be welcomed to the SEC nearly as quickly as aTm (though aTm has a better TV footprint).

So I was listening to 810, wanting to hear Beebe talk. Apparently the meeting got out over an hour late and Beebe delayed his conference until tomorrow.

yeah, but why OSU and Tech? More shares of the pie to schools that don't bring anything to the table. Two 7 team divisions would work. Really, all I'm doing is trying to find a glimmer of hope to hang on to while I schedule out my trips to fracking fort collins in january or february for some mountain west basketball games.

edit: I get that osu and tech would just be "fillers" to round out the scheduling because two 7 team division would put a west coast team in the "east" division which prolly doesn't work.

Would there be a chance in hell that the PAC 10 takes us and KU if A&M and Oklahoma bolt for the SEC??

Bros, no matter what happens, just take pleasure in knowing that hav's and his cyclones are screwed no matter what. At least we're being mentioned in the b-league. They're gonna be rocking the wac soon, lol.

So, over a two+ month time period there hasn't been a single credible media source linking K-State as a possibilty to join a newly formed or realligned BCS conference should the Big XII dissolve, right? Like not a single one. Just curious. Might have missed it.

You'd think like a K-State magazine for K-Staters or like D Scott would throw us a bone on Twitter or make something up or something. I'm getting worried.

agreed. I don't give a shazbot! if no one thinks we deserve the bowls we're going to get.

LMAO at KU fans now clamoring about why they are a better pick for the Pac-10 than OSU or TT. Same thing they did in the initial Big10 rumors.

catzacker · « **Reply #846 on:** June 03, 2010, 10:26:32 PM »

i can't really get excited thinking about having to stay up till 2am to finish watching (live) the san diego state vs. ksu basketball game. and lol at thinking we'd compete in football with utah, byu, and tcu. laramie makes ames look like a fracking beach resort.

nicname · « **Reply #847 on:** June 03, 2010, 10:39:53 PM »

Yep if we went to the MWC we could kiss Texas recruiting goodbye.

Pete · « **Reply #848 on:** June 03, 2010, 10:50:01 PM »

I get Steve Dave's point, that we would have a immediate comparative advantage against most teams in the MWC, for example.

However, I believe that it would be very, very short lived. We will regress to the rest of the pack. Our football recruiting will be severely impacted....if Old Balls were 10-15 years younger, I'd be saying "bring it on," because he's EXACTLY the type of coach you need in conference like the ones where we will end up. The best we can hope for is to end up like a Boise State or Utah, and the most likely scenario is that we'll end up like a Colorado State or Nevada.

Pete · « **Reply #849 on:** June 03, 2010, 10:56:50 PM »

Take a guess at what our athletic department budget will shrink to with the crap TV deals we will be a part of.

Guess what's going to happen to our hapless Ahearn fund.

I, for one, am not going to pay $500 a year for a rough ridin' parking spot (let alone the $1000 parking spots) to watch claw our way to a top-half finish in the MWC.

Oh, and Catzacker doesn't rough ridin' need to worry about game times....they won't be on TV...you'll be able to turn on the 580 broadcast (our "sweet" radio deal will vanish and we'll be back to WIBW and the others we lost) and listen to those late games as you fall asleep.

In four years we'll be giving away upper deck football tickets with the purchase of a Whopper at participating Geary/Pott/Riley county Burger Kings.
