Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[jwinslow]

I can't wait till texas and neb play this fall...talk about a heated game

Have Chip and co really fooled people into thinking they were victims who weren't actively looking to leave themselves?

I don't mean you, I'm just curious if you could gauge the sentiment down there.

Per Joe Schad on Twitter, Dan Beebe is having a press conference at 5:30 ET.

Also worth a listen: KOZN 1620 AM Omaha

The ONLY reason this works for Texas is if the PAC-10 is willing to treat them as more than an equal partner and will make concessions that the Big 10 will not.

Devil's advocate time. What if Texas isn't really the greedy manipulative bitch everybody has made her out to be, but instead the unequal revenue and mandate to self-license and have a Longhorn Sports Network was because Texas was trying to cut herself the best deal as long as she was forced to carry along three siblings looking for handouts.

If Texas is untangled from the other Texas schools, maybe they'd be more willing to be a peer to other elite institutions rather than the den mother of a state.

If Ohio State were forced to drag Ohio U and Cincinnati or somebody around with them everywhere they went, I'd fully expect OSU would always negotiate from a position that was most advantageous to themself, no matter how unpopular that position would appear to be.

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.

that said, once the writting was on the wall Texas was obviously very active

This 'source' guy is working overtime. More of the same ... OU will go where Texas tells them to go. We'll follow you to the ends of the earth, my liege.

Dude. I want to go to this posh conference up North, but I can't get in if you keep following me around. Fuck off already.

Not sure if that's a direct link to Osborne or just the video site on BTN.

The University of Oklahoma is headed for the Pacific-10 Conference but will wait until Texas declares its intentions, an OU source told The Oklahoman Friday after Nebraska announced it will leave the Big 12 for the Big Ten.

the lack of clarity on what those intentions are is pretty glaring, they obviously want people to assume that it is Pac 10 but that is not explicitly stated

Also, Gene Stallings is on the board of regents for A&M, so I'd imagine it nearly impossible that if he says it's a done deal, then it is for Texas A&M to the SEC.

"You better be a grown man when you enter that league" when talking about them heading to the new conference.

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.
