*****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

[mred]

they are in the DeLorean travelling back to the 70's to keep Majors in the house. 30 successful years of football follow....and the SEC is knocking on our door.

SEC? We joined the Big 10 in 1990 at the same time they brought in Penn State. Why would we want to leave that for the SEC?

I'm almost rooting for the B12 to die so I can see what happens. Curiosity killed the cat, but will it kill me?

[RayShimley]

I would tend to agree the AD has something going on since they have been so quiet this whole time. Not pursuing every option to keep the conference together seems to indicate they know where we would land and are not disappointed.

Same. If it's not the case then it is probably the end of the line for JP.

Would a media outlet, ANY media outlet, please call the ISU AD and ask for comment? Even a "we continue to have discussions with our conference members to work for the best of the league and our university" BS statement would be better than nothing!

Is that why your friends call you whiskers?

Yes. Another BSC level university would scoop him up. He is highly regarded.

Which is why we shouldn't be concerned about ISU not landing on its feet.

[Cychotiic]

Why? He just made two great hires for the two main college sports. Why would we cut him?

Missing a ?

[CrossCyed]

If he did nothing to prevent ISU from falling to non-BCS status, yeah, he should be let go. That's not the case, though.

wow, stealing someone's tweet as your own wit is really lame...boooo.

Relax, I just use the copy and paste function on my phone's twitter app (Seesmic). I wasn't trying to steal anything. I didn't even realize until now that it doesn't copy the handle of the guy who posted it.

This will be interesting.

Baylor has a good law school, and Ken Starr, like him or hate him, was able to get the President of the United State impeached. Ken Starr is not a dummy, nor do I think he is anyone to mess with. Plus, my guess is he has a team of Baylor law school alums and students to work on this thing for nothing.

WHo is going to do that? The DM Register? The Gazette? They don't even know this is happening hardly. They have no scoop on any of this, I doubt they even have the AD's number. All they do is show up at weekly press conferences. The local media is inept at best.

Good point, but aTm/SEC probably have taken a queue to fall back on what the definition of "is" is...
