    Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

    a couple of questions 1.) did stallings do what he did with the thought of riding in as a white knight to save the big 12 from big bad texas or did he really want to be a part of the sec? 2.) Does it really even matter?

    ok so here we go I am assuming that the next merger will be the big one that creates 4 groups of 16 the way i understand it is that this goes both ways. the pac 10 was trying to usser osu out the door as well to make room for Utah. this, along with the fact that they wanted texas to sign...

    Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

    There is no doubt that there will be some lingering resentment, but in the end its business. I don't believe for a second that this process was handled any differently than any other merger or buy out. All sides were working for their best interest, as they should. As far as the politics go, I...

    there is no doubt that we are getting hosed on the home football schedule, but in my mind that was going on before all of this. Mack doesn't see a need for a tough schedule and to date he has been right. As strange as it seems, I almost hope that we get jumped in the BCS at the end of next...

    I agree that you cannot lose Nebraska and not take a hit in perception and reality. I also think that it is false to say that Texas has a one game schedule. Texas Tech has been very good over the last decade. Mizzou, OSU have also had top 10 teams from time to time. Just because they aren't...

    I agree that the big 12 has been weakend, but i don't understand the notion that Texas can't be the center point of a confrence. Other than nebraska, the big 12 was carried by the south and that is still in the case. Just remember, any time you have to ask, " does Texas really think they can do...

    man this is funny. There are people pissed off all over the place down here. To be honest, I'm happy with the way that it all ended. I'm sure that its just a stop gap and we will get to do it all again(sooner than later i'm sure) I'm just glad i still get to see ou at the state fair and...

    didn't hurt my feelings at all. I actually live in an apt complex that is filled with people that work at the capital, and while gestapo might be a bit harsh, they are a bit cult-ish....always with other "capital folk" side note: I've been looking for some good Pac 10 message boards other...

    From what I hear the Gestapo (texas legislature) is cool with this because Texas and Tech are going to have a soft landing. Looks like Larry Scott is on his way to Texas Pac-10 invites on the way, with Kansas looming large on the radar | CollegeFootballTalk.com when asked if this was true...

    it has everything to do with still playing ou and aggy while not giving up a couple of cupcakes. That may not be popular to say but Texas can sell out a 100k stadium even when arkie st is in town. Thats a ton of money and a sure win. Those early season cupcake games, much like confrence...

    well, no one is shutting him up so that says something. Then again, he is a 75 year old man that coached Alabama to a MNC, who in the hell is he really going to listen to?

    he actually said that atm is big enough to stand on their own and don't need to be piggy backed. I really believe that the aggy BOR is split on this. Stallings is fighting hard for the SEC but there are others that want to stay with their traditional rivals.

    That game was already going to be nuts after the 1 second put back on the clock I don't think that anyone feels like a victim but most people do believe UT when they say that our best option was to keep the big 12 alive...why wouldn't it be as long as Texas started up its own TV network...
