We have nothing to worry about.  In 10 years we will just give Texas our share of the Missouri and KU penalty money and keep on coachin'em up.

If we're going to get to 200, we're going to do it right. The replacement of HCOB is not part of conference armageddon.

Texas Tech's Tommy Tuberville says on Rivals Radio this morning that he believes the Big 12 won't last long.

My God, Tubberville's pussy is still hurt over the Pac-10.  Let it go, Tommy.  Let it go............

Junker, also the president and CEO of the Fiesta Bowl, is confident the Big 12 will thrive under the new arrangement.

“I’ve heard from virtually everybody in the conference, and I think there’s a really healthy sense of moving forward for the long term,” he said. “I’ve read so many stories that ‘the next shoe will fall next year,’ but I don’t buy that. I think there’s been a really healthy re-examination of where people are and why and what the benefits of this” arrangement “are. I’m not the guy who a chancellor or president consults on that stuff, so I don’t want to report to have any lofty place in the process. But I am fortunate enough to talk to a number of people, and I don’t think I’ve seen so many happy people in that conference and such a solid sense of moving forward.”

I'm not sure who I hate more Nebraska for leaving and going to the Big Twen?  Or the Big Twen just because I hate the Big Twen.  On the same note do I want Nebraska to go to the Big Twen and dominate everyone to show them that the Big 12ten is legit?  Or do I want Nebraska to get the ever living crap beat out of them game in and game out to prove to them they are not as great as they think they are, and they made a huge mistake.

If they suck in the new conference, that may help our recruiting of Kansas prospects.   ...and Texas prospects.

Wasn't Junker the guy that promised mjrod that the Cats had a good bowl berth wrapped up a couple of years ago before we landed in the Texas bowl?

A more indepth version of that article is on the Star's website, although the last sentence is incorrect — there would have been liquidated damages paid to 5 remaining schools even if other 7 left.

Capt, what was the most likely scenario had the 7 schools left?  Big East, MWC, or stay together and pull teams from MWC and Big East?

No keep throwing out scenario's we will get this to 200 with relevant posting.  And is the no MWC coming from the MWC side or our/your sources side?  If Big12 would've died, our only option was the Big East imo.   Otherwise was there a consensus of who we were going to cherry pick from the other conferences?

[TheMadCatter]

Was it Conference USA? 

[MadCat]

Sunbelt?

I am going to guess a retooled B12.

[WillieWatanabe]

So Tuberville’s comments could be the early saber rattling from Texas Tech indicating that the Red Raiders aren’t going to be company-line guys in the Big 12 until they are paid on par with Texas A&M.
And everyone gets why Texas Tech should be mad. Tech has outperformed A&M in football (the revenue-producing sport that matters in this equation) for a decade. And then, after having its bags packed for the Pac-16 with visions of a $20 million payday and playing in an elite football conference, it wakes up to find itineraries to Ames, Manhattan and Columbia still in its travel file with a payday less than A&M’s.

I hear Lubbock(and Texas in general) is quite beautiful this time of year.

Yeah Waco and College Station are by far the two shittiest destinations in the entire conference
