The Big East is the absolute worst case scenario.

I would rather quit sports completely and have one arm and one leg cut off and then get punched in the face than go to the Big East.

Twice yearly match up with Huggs . . .

Doesn't that conference already have like 16 teams? We couldn't possibly play everyone twice.

So if the Big 12 dissolves, do we wait a year to sort out conference alliances?  Add a final four, and a bowl season?  Or is the mess so bad at KU by that point that our tie to them outweighs the benefits?

What tie? What benifits? What final four? Please proofread your post, edit, and try to make more sense.

Nebraska waits for an invitation.
Big 10 waits for an application.

I would advocate moving our football program to the CFL and our basketball could play up into the D-league of the NBA.  Just for a year or 2 while we figure junk out.

Calgary!?

anybody else get the warm, fuzzy feeling that BITB is going to have a major 'scoop' this afternoon?

Seriously. We would NEVER be able to go to a road game other UK and ISU.

Have heard a couple places that maybe Utah is tabbed to replace Nebraska in Big 12 and that Texas wants to stay.

New bits of info from Okie Light way...

CU is still who they want (over Baylor), but the academic sanctions give them pause, and apparently, CU is in worse financial shape than they lead the Pac 10 to believe (anti- )

NU...may have an offer and they may not.  Some people are adamant either way.

Mizzou has gone really quiet.  Probably because they know they're screwed.

Maybe this will help you out.

New bits of info from steve dave's way....
-I sent an e-mail to the Big East telling them not to try anything because we aren't coming.  Signed it John Currie and made a new e-mail address "[email protected]" so hopefully they buy it.

Yeah, I was wondering how CU could afford to forgo $10 million in Big 12 revenue this year when they couldn't afford to buy out Hawkins.

schadjoe    Don't assume Big 12 would collapse w 4 or 5 teams left. Could rebuild w Big East/MWC teams

schadjoe    I'm told Big Ten likes: 1) Notre Dame, 2) Nebraska then 3) Rutgers and/or Maryland

schadjoe    The drop-deadline for Nebraska and Missouri's loyalty oath is in fact next Monday

Why would the Big 12 be dead if they leave? JFC, we don't need Nubb, just add another team.
