I will laugh my ass off if the collapse of the Big XII winds up being precipitated by Baylor leaving for the WAC.

It might be much better news if Baylor, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, and the WAC called a press conference.
Meanwhile, it appears an invite for Boise State to join the Mountain West is on hold thanks to what is happening elsewhere. If the Big 12 implodes, that would leave teams like Iowa State, Baylor, Kansas and Kansas State looking for homes ? and the MWC certainly would be interested in possibly taking them. Boise State has until July 1 to tell the WAC it is leaving.

Apparently Baylor is the glue that holds the big 12 together. Who knew?
If Baylor does leave, Texas stills has a "Tech" problem for the Big X.

If Baylor can leave the protection of the Texas pack, then Tech should be able to go to the pac-10 or SEC.Buckeyefrankmp;1712802; said:

I think the SEC--or even the Pac 10--might be interested in Aggy by itself, but Tech is probably SOL if the UT umbilical cord is severed.

There's also the matter of the playoff format if we shift to power conferences.ORD_Buckeye;1712804; said:
With so many deep conferences, a playoff between conference champions seems more viable, and would allow Texas to play OU & Aggy in OOC play without hurting their NC chances.
Sure the games would not be as meaningful, but let's be honest, 90% of the OOC games for NC contenders are a joke as it is. It might be better to swap some of those out for tougher opponents if there is less to lose before conference play.

Baylor is going to announce they are accepting an invite to the pac-10. They were the first to join the B12 from the SWC too!

Baylor President Ken Starr holding a press conference at 5 pm EST. Presumably not to discuss Lewinsky.

Texas & their herum in the pac-10 are not a threat to the BTN. I'd rather have texas here, but helping to protect the BTN's place is a good thing in my book.

Baylor Regent Pushing For Bears In Pac-10 Package Deal
The Dallas Morning News has obtained e-mails sent by Baylor regent and prominent lobbyist Buddy Jones to Baylor alumni and supporters within the Texas legislature. E-mails and phone numbers of the members have been redacted.
Jones urges his supporters to push for Baylor to be included in any deal that moves Texas colleges to the Pac-10.
Wrote Jones: "We cannot let the other schools in Texas (A&M, U.T., Tech) leave the Big XII WITHOUT BAYLOR BEING INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE. Long and short ? if U.T., A&M and Tech demand that any move to any other conference include ALL TEXAS BASED TEAMS from the Big XII, we are golden. We need to be in a PACKAGE DEAL!"
Baylor continues to make a major push to be part of any Pac-10 expansion plan with its fellow Big 12 South members (Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State). In a Twitter post, Pete Thamel of the New York Times reported that Baylor "appears to have bumped" Colorado in the expansion sweepstakes.
Jones argues that Baylor is better than Colorado as a potential Pac-10 team because, "Baylor is superior to Colorado academically. Baylor has athletic facilities superior to Colorado. Colorado doesn?t participate in the number of sports that Baylor does. Baylor?s overall record in all collegiate sports dwarfs that of Colorado."

As would I, but it's a little easier losing the best looking girl after one realizes that she's a manipulative, arrogant bitch who's also demanding that her three sisters--a crazy religious zealot, a neo-nazi and a retard--all move in with her.

So what happens to the exit penalties for NU and Mizzou if the whole south division leaves first?
