Texas has been hitting that since last summer.

The Big 12 is poised to replace commissioner Dan Beebe with former Big Eight commissioner Chuck Neinas, CBSSports.com has learned.

One highly placed source said the conference was moving quickly to replace Beebe who had been under fire from some conference members after recent instability within the league. Neinas, currently a well-known college consultant, is expected to be named interim commissioner.

Much rather follow OU than UT. They have Big 8 roots.... there's a slight hint of tradition in the air. Hoping Reba is right on this one....

He's gotta try to get all the $ he can, most likely it's the last job he will ever have.

The man makes a ton of money each year to get the high fives...and the raspberries, too. They don't pay you that kind of coin for nothing, and nothing in his contract says everyone will love him forever. I'm sure, however, that it's in there to pay him a lot of that contract's promised income to depart... People will forget him over time, and he'll have a check with a lot of zeros to console him...

He can come work with me. As a Hawk fan, you see, I am a mid-level employee at BK, hoping to be a kitchen manager real soon! :D

You just made the signature. Names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Dude, you don't know what you are doing...Beebe will run three of your best burger flippers to more stable fast food chains like McDonalds, Wendy's, and Culvers.

Interesting point with renaming. Ultimately, trying to establish a viable, long-term conference from this point involves more than rebranding, but maybe that's part of the puzzle.

If it's going to be more than just The Temporary Power Conference, it requires stripping down and rebuilding it. I don't want it to be a Safe-for-Now situation. I don't suggest rushing into mini-expansion, such as adding 3 teams to get to 12 just for the sake of it. Or pretending to re-think league solidarity until something better comes along for one school or another.

Why not DECIDE right now?
