Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[sepia5]

I believe between Ken Starr's sermon that fell upon deaf ears, the Pac 10 thumbing its nose at Baylor and inviting CU anyway, and the general derision and hate-mail directed at the Baylor degree holding politco (and the 14 politicians names that he cc:ed in the email that wound up on the net) the members of the Texas legislature are on notice: Nobody wants your Tier 3 institutions.

I thought Baylor, despite its religious affiliation, actually had a very good undergraduate program.

yup, i'm here....and i don't even know where to start

You could start by asking every news source in Austin to confirm what that Kansas one said.

If you're speechless, you could let your ladies do the talking :p

well, if this thing actually wen't down yall might get to see the real thing a bit more often.

I have to say though, i am a little sad that college football as I know it isn't likely to ever be again

I'm going to try leaving a computer for 20 mins. so I can drive home from work. Hopefully I can get there without going into withdrawal or something. :tongue2:

Anyone keep a count on how many total unnamed sources there are out there involved in the BIG 10 and/or PAC 10 expansion?

An unnamed source puts it at "innumerable".

I actually am friends with Ketch's wife (owner operator of orangebloods) but whats the point...everything is changing by the min

the Big 12 in its current incarnation wasn't around that long... right?

What is the general reaction to this down there?

That's my bad. That is correct. I was confusing Baylor with Okie St. Okie St and Tech are rated as Tier 3 in the 2010 USNWR, not Baylor (#80).

Things aren't slowing down enough to really consider that proposition - but I tend to agree.

I am so wrapped up in seeing the Big Ten come out ahead on this deal that I lose sight of what we are doing. Busting chops over who has the biggest dick is half the fun in CFB.

If (and I am still not buying the KC report) the Big Ten gets Texas and the PAC 10 does not at least get OU we are living in a two conference universe.

No, established in 1996.

Hmmmmm....

There's a Kansas City TV report saying Texas and A&M to the Big Ten. That would be news to those schools.

No the big 12 hasn't been around long but it still felt like home. the big ten or pac whatever just isn't really the same...

change is good and in this case needed...i just really hope things like the aTm thanksgiving game and Red River Shootout don't get messed with.

Besides accomodating such a big free agent, they want as many late year ratings as they can get.

With the shift to super conferences (and possibly champion based playoffs), I think there's a good chance you could play Oklahoma in an exhibition game OOC.
