they wanted to substitute Kansas for Oklahoma State late in the process, according to multiple sources in the Big 12.




             

Put that on your banner Wiseman.

Jthutch-  I'm really hoping English is not your native language.

Me thinks I'm doing really well for being 5!

And Texas decided this was no longer a good idea.

It's interesting that BMW is clinging to that rumor so hardcore.  I mean Chip Brown was completely infallible throughout this entire thing, though, so I guess there's no way this could be wrong.  None whatsoever.  His reporting was 100% accurate and his sources were never yanking him.

[MadCat]

Texas knew that KU's investors would never honor their pledges and had to scrap the whole Pac-16 idea before things got out of hand.  In essence, Larry Scott went full-Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

He's really invested a lot of validation into this one.  Kind of amazing and sad to see what he has been reduced to.

Beems, this thread will never make 200 without you. Keep demanding validation so we can put you in your place. After all this time, you owe us this.

Isn't it the other 5 schools you'd want a 10 year pledge from?


http://collegesportsblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2010/06/about-that-10-year-big-12-commitment.html

Earlier this week, Texas president Bill Powers suggested that the continuing loyalty to the Big 12 would be sort of on the honor system, with each school pledging a long-term commitment.

Then Kansas athletic director Lew Perkins suggested a binding 10-year agreement in a story on AOL FanHouse.

OK, here's the explanation. Just got off the phone with Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe for a column that will run Sunday. In the process, I asked him about the apparent discrepancy.

Here's what Beebe said: As part of their plans for continuing the Big 12 with impending defections, Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State and Missouri agreed to 10-year commitments as a sign to other schools that might have considered joining or remaining in the league. The 10-year commitment now only applies to those five and may not be even applicable given the change in circumstances.

That said, Beebe acknowledged that the league might revisit its by-laws to strengthen its membership commitment.

Sounds like we can at least be reassured that this thread will reach 200 pages sometime around the year 2015.

Mods can we get a pinned thread where we can hang all the banners that BMW wins?  inspired by the banners in this thread.

TIA

Lol, owners of this site will sell it and be retired by then.  Feet up, cigars and reservations at a nice affordable steak place.

Someone explain to me how you can be penalized 2 years of TV revenue when you only are in the league for 1 more year.

if that was the agreed upon rule going in i guess they just take colorado and nebraska's portion of their tv money from the pac and big 10 for one year

[jtksu]

Pretty sure the 2 years are the 09-10 and 10-11 seasons.

[goldenticket]

ah good call

[KSUBrian]

Pretty sure the 2 years are the 09-10 and 10-11 seasons.

So the 09-10 money hasn't been distributed yet?  Surprising.  I would have thought that they would have been doling it out during the year.
