Big XII (official thread of whining, and homely herpes-having’ hos)

?

2 to the Sooners, 2 to Texas, 1 (and the tie) to TCU, and 1 to West Va.

The Browns fans have "the drive" and "the fumble"; Ohio State fans have "the kick".



Sooner Magic took center stage at Ohio Stadium on Sept. 24, 1977.
Trailing 28-20 at Ohio State midway through the fourth quarter, OU needed a recovered fumble, a fourth-and-goal touchdown and then, after a failed two-point conversion, an onside kick to position itself for one of the greatest moments in program history.

Re: 2 to the Sooners

Just sayin': Ohio State should never have lost one of those games.

Oklahoma isn't in a state that is already connected to the B1G via geography and doesn't have the academic standing to get admitted to the CIC. Add to that, there's no way OU comes without the rednecks in Stillwater and they're even further away from a B1G offer than OU is....

And it will be interesting to see what happens to Oklahoma and Texas as the oil barons run out of fossil fuel money to pay with.

Saw the tie game with TCU. 1961 season opener, played back when Woody would reveal absolutely nothing in ooc games. He sat on the tie refusing to pass. Loudest booing of Hayes that I heard until the tie game with Indiana in the disastrous 1966 season. The team went on to win a natty despite not going to the Rose Bowl thanks to the Football Writers Association. Clobbered Michigan in Ann Arbor to end the season.

Big 12 officials meet to discuss possible departures of Oklahoma and Texas to SEC

While Big 12 officials search for answers from Oklahoma and Texas about their possible departures to the SEC, the league made it clear on Thursday it expects its flagship programs to adhere to the conference bylaws and TV contracts that have been signed.

The Big 12 athletic directors and their university presidents and chancellors held a videoconference on Thursday evening to discuss the possible moves. Both OU and Texas were invited to the meeting but declined to participate in the call, sources said.

In a statement provided to ESPN, the Big 12 said, "There is a recognition that institutions may act in their own self-interest, however there is an expectation that members adhere to Conference bylaws and the enforcement of Grant of Rights agreements."

The Big 12 bylaws require any withdrawing member to give the league at least 18 months' notice. There also is a hefty exit fee -- departing schools must pay the league a "commitment buyout fee," which is an amount equal to the sum of distributions that otherwise would be paid to the school during the final two years of its membership. Exiting schools, according to the bylaws, "shall be deemed to have agreed to forfeit all distributions of any type that otherwise would have been made to the withdrawing member during the interim period" between the notice date and the actual departure date.

Last year, the Big 12 distributed about $38 million to each of its members, third most among Power 5 conferences, so Texas and Oklahoma would owe about $76 million each.

It's unclear whether both schools are aware of the repercussions, and they both declined comment beyond statements issued on Wednesday. One source said the Big 12 also discussed the possibility of finding more revenue for Texas and OU if their motivation to exit is driven by money.
