Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[MaxBuck]

Au contraire. I see them being more than willing to go to the new Steers and Queers conference.

Hard to argue with that one. They'd fit right in.

Steers and Queers conference.

Are those the new names of divisions if the Big 12 can get back to 12 teams?

CBS

Notre Dame will say no to the Big XII if they were extended an invite. Includes direct quotes from AD Jack Swarbrick.

Sure thing. And the league slogan could be "Twelve feet and a whole lotta suck".

Piggies ain't going to a conference run by the shorthorns. Period.

Chip Brown was told to say it so it must be true.

yeah but I didn't read that

I take it you're not aware of the Church's official stand on homoerotic dry humping.

And then confirms it a day later

It's official

"After much thought and consideration, and pursuant to the action of the (Texas A&M University System) Board of Regents authorizing me to take action related to Texas A&M University's athletic conference alignment, I have determined it is in the best interest of Texas A&M to make application to join another athletic conference," President R. Bowen Loftin wrote to Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe in the letter dated August 31, 2011.
​

"We appreciate the Big 12's willingness to engage in a dialogue to end our relationship through a mutually agreeable settlement," Loftin added. "We, too, desire that this process be as amicable and prompt as possible and result in a resolution of all outstanding issues, including mutual waivers by Texas A&M and the conference on behalf of all the remaining members."

So is Slive now on the phone picking up #14, or are they going to sit at an awkward 13? He has said he could get to 16 in 15 mins

 

[Mrstickball]

Does that mean they got accepted into a new conference? If not....Maybe we could tick off Texas by nabbing them now :-p

The B1G could get to thirty in fifteen seconds by absorbing the MAC. Who the fuck did he have in mind to hit 16, I wonder.

 

[damiandoan]

Why not A&M

Why Wouldnt the B1G be interested in getting the Aggies? granted they are not T.U. , but they seem to fit with the academic & athletic culture. Then add Mizzou or why not TCU as well?

Love that Aggie mindset..

"The SEC's a good fit. Finally gonna win me a Conference Championship!"

I like it. For every heavy hitter we take (like Toledo), we have to take someone who will take the L (like Eastern m*ch*g*n).
