Big 12 Beebe Deal News Conference

[helechopper]

I knew we were bending over, but I didn't know we were bending over that far. No exit cash from NU and CU?! Good God, I hope the the Benedict Arnold's don't have to pay a single penny now.

This Big East 'source' for everyone was one lone blogger from the Washington Examiner.

Other Big East sources disputed it.

most likely nothing there.

Sounds like something completely different to me.

This is NOT true.

Please show me any offer that was made by any conference. Not just a speculation article but a true bona-fide offer.

I'm disappointed in that JP and GG would agree to something like this. I thought they were better than that.

Yes.


Damn you Texas! Don't make us bolt for CUSA!

His mom's hallway is probably more accurate...

Yup, I'm a troll on CF. You got me and I live in my mom's hallway.......

Having a conference is still better than not having a conference...buying time.

BTW the site is slow as balls today, wtf?

[brianhos]

Well, the games will all be televised. They've been airing 5 conference games during conference play. There will only be 5 conference games when NU and CU leave.

We need to increase the TV contracts though.

Sounds like we will be getting a lot of thurs night games.

[jbhtexas]

This is NOT true.

Correct. It was reported that ISU had an offer from C-USA.

[cyclone13]

We have no choice right now but I believe there's a contingency plan.

Beebe talked about trust, no need to expand and how schools shouldn't act like professional teams. I don't think he's learned his lesson.



Couldn't have said it better myself.

Just what i know. We wouldve landed in a BCS conference no matter what.

You saying we had no chance at anything other than big 12 is exactly what you ***** about. Speculation.

[Cyclonestate78]

And what other choice(s) does ISU have. NO OTHER CONFERENCE WANTED ISU.

So you know this for a fact? Or are you just taking a shot in the dark without knowing what the hell you are talking about?

If you haven't noticed... JP never says anything and nothing ever slips out into the media. If we got an offer from another conference you sure as hell aren't going to know about it. Go ahead and keep telling everyone that we have absolutely nothing going for us except being UT's *****.

We have no choice right now but I believe there's a contingency plan.

If there is no buyout money, and no new TV deal, why stay? I would find something else to do if I were the other 5 schools, and now maybe we have some time to explore other options. The conference won't survive like this. If Texas can just rewrite the rules whenever they want we can't really compete under that. This isn't any different than it was expect we get nothing, Texas gets more.

This is true — but if this Big 12 deal falls through, MWC is probably The Offer.

[cycloneworld]

This is a joke of a "deal" for ISU. I will be more than interested to see Pollard's response.
