How in the hell is ESPN going to carry yet another conference's football games?
-
I bet Magic Johnson didn't say that.
-
That very well could be true. 9 votes are needed to dissolve the conference so teams could leave without paying a $10MM fine. With NU and the 6 schools going to the Pac-10, we would need one more school to get to 9. This would be a way to ensure that.

I can't believe what I am hearing, but all of a sudden there is a lot of chatter that A&M will in fact stay in the Big 12. I will be extremely pissed if this is true.

I was born & raised in the Chicago suburbs. And thank you for complimenting me on my Cubs knowledge.

Doesn't matter. It's in the best interest of the state of Texas to keep Texas and aTm playing each other. Where does it say that we have to be in the same conference to play each other? It's not going to say it anywhere, but that's what they want. If the Texas government wants it bad enough, it'll happen. For someone in Michigan, you sure seem to know a lot about the Texas legislature.

Chip Brown really needs to stop using words like "committed." Don't blame Chip. The Texas AD tells him what to say.
-
If A&M goes to the SEC and texas, tceh, OU, and OSU go to the Pac-10, it appears that the next Pac-10 target will be Kansas to give them an even 16. Possibly Utah.

the conference is a mess right now because the populations of the states involved is much smaller than other high-profile conferences, and the population that is there is heavily weighted toward the south. it's a patchwork organization with one good academic school, several decent schools and a few bad ones. texas is far and away the best school in the conference in both athletics and academics, so why shouldn't they hold more of the power? You highly underestimate the athletics and academics of Texas A&M. I realize that they are the tops in each category at the moment, but we aren't far behind in either area.

I wasn't around a computer last night, but I had to come and post that I [expletive] hate Juan Pierre even more now. -
In a week's time it went from probably 90% to Pac-10 to 60% to Pac-10 to we have the votes on the Board of Regents for the SEC. Now our insider says Don Beebe is making a huge push to keep the Big 12 afloat that is actually making everyone rethink their moves. Even still, I expect us to bolt to the SEC. If we don't, I will be pissed. There's no way that if Texas commits to the Big 12 lite, the Texas Legislature will let aTm move anywhere. It's not up to the legislature. The state pours a TON of money into it's schools. It sure as hell will be up to them in the long run. They will threaten to pull money, etc. Look at how Baylor tagged along for the ride to the original Big 12. That was a 100% state government move. The 3 didn't want to take Baylor with them, and nobody in the Big 8 wanted to add Baylor. The state of Texas said it was a package deal, take it or leave it, and they HAD to take Baylor into the original Big 12. At that time, the governor was a Baylor grad and the lieutenant governor was a Baylor law grad. The governor now is an Aggie.

If we don't, I will be pissed. Why? Why would I be pissed? I am sick and tired of Texas bullying everyone else around. There is a reason this conference is a mess right now. They want everyone to bow down & kiss their ring and we have enough power to stand up to them once and for all. I'm sure Beebe has made plenty of concessions to convice the horns to stay that would give them an even bigger advantage than they already have.
-
And Chip Brown drops the bombshell that Texas is willing to commit to a 10-team Big 12. I think this is nothing more than a PR to make us look like the bad guy when we leave for greener pastures. http://texas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1094038

Texas is afraid to play in the SEC. It has nothing to do with academics. They kept Vince Young and Jamal "Mushmouth" Charles eligible to play 3 years there. They can't be that concerned with academics.
-
Not surprising, but there was no way A&M would head to the Pac-10 without going at the same time with Texas, anyways. A&M recruiting insider Billy Liucci says he's confirmed through two different sources that Chip is wrong on this one.
-
God, I hope that doesn't happen. I don't want KU coming after Mark Turgeon.
-
So who is the most likely candidate for the SEC to pull over along with A&M? If texas pulls a fast one and goes to the Big 10, I expect OU to join us. If not, I'd guess the SEC makes a run at Virginia Tech.

The SEC Commisioner is in College Station today meeting with A&M officials.

LOL. What conference? Without Nebraska, Colorado, Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Texas A&M, Beebe has nothing.

Can he not bend it anymore?
