I'll go ahead and say it, if this ******** all come to fruition and ISU ends up stuck in the Big East, I'm done. I'm getting really tired of the ******** that goes along with college sports.

So what happens with the 13 year Fox 90$mil per year deal? If there are only 5 teams left, does the deal still happen?

Honestly, this is starting to sound better to me than this crap every year. If ISU/MU/KU/KSU/BU could leverage themselves as a package deal to the Big East I say go for it. I

If 5 of us go after A&M that get's rid of the penalty issue as a majority of member would be gone. Still don't think that's the way to go or that it would happen.

I'm gonna go ahead and bet that contract had a clause in it to change the deal if something drastic happened.

I would be shocked if this isn't open for renegotiation if teams are removed/added.

Actually, there is nothing in there to allow a renegotiation of amount if teams are added. That's why we didn't add anyone last summer- we couldn't renegotiate the deal. However, the contract assumes that the existing 12 members are all in the league (amended to reflect the 10 existing members). If those start leaving, the contract will be negotiated downward unless a suitable replacement is found and ABC is ok with the add.

Not sure if you guys realize that all the talk is that SEC will poach another ACC team, who will then poach the Big East, leaving the Big East with 4 open spots to get to 12 instead of three. I don't know if all the dominoes would fall in a row to make that 4th open spot available with the others, but that is something to think about.

From Chip Brown/Oragngebloods (not an independent source but some info worth seeing):

An A&M source told Orangebloods.com the Aggies are having their lawyers look at everything, including the exit fees A&M would have to pay to leave the Big 12.

Under the current bylaws, Texas A&M would be required to relinquish 80 percent of revenues over a two-year period if the Aggies left with only a year's notice.

Nebraska and Colorado were able to pay substantially less than that by settling with the Big 12.

Sources said Thursday the SEC would be interested in adding Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and Virginia Tech in addition to Texas A&M to form a 16-team super conference. Florida State has also been mentioned as a possible target of the SEC, according to Big 12 sources.

Two officials at separate Big 12 schools said Oklahoma and Oklahoma State would stay in the Big 12 as long as the other schools were willing to stay together. A third official in the Big 12 said the remaining nine schools were "solid."
