Yep, this same crap is going to happen next year. How could you not have the schools sign anything?
Big 12 Beebe Deal News Conference
- Thread starter colbycheese
- Start date
Are JP and GG planning on having a news conference? I would like to hear their analysis from the ISU side of things.
Sounds like the other shoe is dropping.
No wonder JP, and all the other ADs not courted by the Pac-10 were creating contingency plans.

I read where ESPN/ABC renegotiated the deal effective immediately and put more money in to keep the Big 12 conference going.
They said that ESPN did this because Fox Sports was going to own the new Pac 16 Conference deal and in the future could effectively make ESPN irrelevant in the college football world.
Now ESPN owns ALL of the highly coveted Central Time Zone. Costs more money now for ESPN. But remember that Fox indirectly owns Direct TV and almost half the Big Ten Network. And Fox was behind the Pac 10 expansion.

Chris Level just had this tweet.
Beebe is confirming that MU, KU, KSU, BU and ISU all gave in and will give the buyout fee monies to UT, OU and A&M.

Where would Tech go? Pac-10?
I'd really like something to be set in stone (at least temporary stone).
This is so freaking stupid. Dan Beebe needs to get kicked out of the Big XII immediately.
Who wants Texas Tech? The Pac 10 doesn't, the SEC doesn't, so it would be off to the MWC for them.
