It would be sweet at the Texas game when they take the field that the entire crowd could stand up and turn their backs in complete silence as Texas takes the field
I miss high school too.

Whatever the future holds, I want to know within a month or two. It will be awful if this drags on and on
Why are people so confident that the BIG is even an option? What makes you believe that? I’m honestly asking because I don’t see it. But I want to believe!60%: ISU to Big 10
30%: ISU to PAC 12
5%: Revamped Big 12
5%: AAC or MWC
I think about how the prolonged deal last time cut CPR's recruiting off at the knees when he had momentum. That **** cannot be allowed to happen this time.
What is this based on and who comes into the revamped B12 that gets viewers/money?
Exactly. Ou and Texas are banking on other Big 12 schools panicking and looking for other options. If the Big 12 dissolves, the Grant of Rights ceases to exist. That's the only thing slowing this down. My guess is you're not going to hear anything about ISU or any of the remaining 8 about leaving. Not officially, anyway. And not for a while.Yeah...Pollard won't do that unless he's absolutely certain we've got a spot elsewhere
Pollard is a genius. He will get us into a good conference should the two greedy schools move on. I hope they(Oklahoma and Texas) just go, it’s just too much of their whining and acting like we can’t breathe without them.
Iowa State will be National Champions come January 15th and Ohio State will want ISU in the B1G 10 so they can at least have some competition. We will be fine.
This is exactly right. I wouldn’t be surprised to see invites to two new schools floated soon to further the idea of big12 continuity.Exactly.

The remaining 8 need to "stay firm" until UT and OU make it official to receive their payout.Exactly. Ou and Texas are banking on other Big 12 schools panicking and looking for other options.

Reports out this morning that this has been in the works for 6-months and that Big12 leadership had knowledge. Back to my point, Bowlsby failed at this job.Don't know this guy, but when a spouse cheats, who is the last one to find out? I cannot blame the Commish for not knowing when the scum bags are running around during the night trying to change leagues.
Links? I think you are blowing smoke.Reports out this morning that this has been in the works for 6-months and that Big12 leadership had knowledge. Back to my point, Bowlsby failed at this job.
Yeah, that's ideal, but self interest takes over and asking all of these individual institutions to stand pat and keep quiet in the face of uncertainty is nearly impossible. The moment other schools get wind of a lifeline they aren't going to want to have a secret handshake deal and keep quiet and risk it falling apart. They're are going to want it in writing, which means in public. It will be a miracle if this thing doesn't blow up in the next couple of months. You know the PAC-12 is going to go after some of these schools. Maybe (hopefully!) the B1G too. It's not going to last.Exactly.

I think this idea that the pac and big are suddenly going to start handing out invites to be a bit of a fallacy. Nothing left moves the needle for them.Yeah, that's ideal, but self interest takes over and asking all of these individual institutions to stand pat and keep quiet in the face of uncertainty is nearly impossible.
