Not unexpected. Lots of meetings all weekend on all fronts. RT @DrewPaulson Mike Slive is in College Station right now!

A certain really nice and heroic goEMAW'er did sign up for an orangeblood account though.  So, if they ever get around to announcing their news it'll get posted here.

stevelonghorn?

I can't take credit for this.  He wants to keep it quiet but his initials are Rick Daris.

No chance. RT @ousoonerfan15 any chance texas thinks about SEC or is it a done deal to the Pac-10?

I thought our mission was to teach kids to compete on and off the floor and help prepare them for life-wrong-it is obviously to make money

HOT!

[EMAWzified]

So if the SEC raids the ACC for three or four of its top football teams and the Big-10 grabs Maryland, don't the remaining ACC teams and the Big East football schools come together.
Opportunity for K-State, KU, MU?

the orangeblood natives are starting to get restless. they've been hyping some earthshattering stuff for four hours now and people want to know what's going on. it really sounds like a&m to the sec and sec not interested in any other big12 teams at all. and that stuff about utah probably a slight favorite over ku for the final spot if so. not sure what bomb is about to be dropped. probably just going to say a&m to sec. dunno.

What would Kansas and K State gain by joining the MWC?  Nothing. Average football programs their bball is why the will be big east bound

Poor Nebraska. After reading all of these crybaby stories about their leaving the Big 12, it's obvious a hug is needed.

All those 11-1 votes. Poor guys. Wanted to let idiots into school and lost that. Didn't want conf. title game. Oh, NU was so mistreated!

[sonofdaxjones]

The NCAA put the kibosh on partial qualifiers just a few months later . . . come on, this is a collective fanbase, school and athletic program that never lets anything go . . . its all they have.

Someone is getting a vibe that the conference will remain intact.   :powerespect:

It's over.  I'm sure of it now.

they're talking about it on orangebloods too. not much though. the theory goes like this... a&m doesn't want to just do whatever texas tells them to, doesn't really want to play all the nancy boy west coast schools and kind of wants to go to the sec. texas wants to go to the pac 10. no way in hell texas will ever go to the sec. everybody wants the gov to make a&m go to the pac 10 w/ texas (tradition, blah, blah) and says that if he doesn't, they (texas fans, etc) will make sure he doesn't get re-elected. the gov is an a&m grad. big time aggie. he probably wishes that he could stay out of this crap and just get re-elected but he might not be able to. also baylor is going to be pissed cause they are totally screwed. four schools that were all in a conference together and now they're going in three separate directions. an option for him would be to tell all involved to just chill the f out and everybody just stays put. for now anyway.

an article that kind of reinforces some of this...

daris is our new official goEMAW Texas politics expert.  When we go premium he will have a blog about all the Texas political scoop and junk/stuff. 

[steve dave]

Posting in a few minutes I believe per my last convo with Chip.

[goldenticket]

so if the big 12 did only lose nebraska and colorado. what teams would they add. im sure they would want to get back to 12 for the money the championship game brings in.

[steve dave]

Also, since my forecasting has been shaky all day, when I say minutes... maybe an hour. I hope not.

LOL

[steve dave]

I bet they thought they had something and then lost it and are now scrambling so they don't have to backtrack on having a story

[Skipper44]

B12 champ game is not a sure thing.  Networks may think a true round robin conf sched worth more..  rumors Big 10 & Pac ? not planning to have them.
