That would be awesome! I think pieces of Polini's cranium would be found as far away as Alaska if that went down.

Although UT probably makes that analysis and has some motivation to stay put. Or not. It sounds good typing it.

I understand that they think that, but really, how is it a big **** you to Texas? How is Texas hurt by this move at all? Is Texas suddenly going to make less money because of this? Are their chances at a title game lessened? Texas is going to be fine. The big **** you part is more directed at teams like Baylor, K-State, and ISU.
I'm sure the level of competition is a concern... but you're right about the big finger to the Horns... they had their finger on the button last conference doomsday scenario... maybe they have the stones to push it this time...
Quick question: Do you think the a$m-UT rivalry continues if they split conferences?
That would be a schedule from hell considering their division.

Why have "4 conferences of relevance"???
If Big East fears getting poached as well... and the 9 other Big 12 schools are 'solid' as some are saying... we would poach as well and just broaden the Big 12 market.
BYU, (ND probably not but who knows), Cincinati, Louisville, West Virginia, Pittsburgh, TCU. Alternatives include Boise State, New Mexico, other Big East Leftovers, smaller conference schools.
Clearly if 16 team super conferences were to form... we would have a solid foundation of 9 teams to start with and would have the 'room' to work with rivalries and 'package deal' teams.
With our first tier rights coming up... I think we're a good option for other teams... especially considering every non-Texas addition would just make our conference a bigger footprint.

Why is it that when schools are given the chance to partner with Texas or venture into the unknown, they take the unknown? (NU, A&M, Arkansas). At what point does UT look at themselves and do something for the league instead of themselves?
Just wait, Texas will be playing the victim card when this is all said and done. Just today Mack Brown complained about how the LHN was "too much work". They are a special breed in Texas.

Yep, if the conference can work it out. A&M fans still want to play it on Thanksgiving.
Atm brings not a lot of TV market to the SEC, so a big **** you to Texas please we add a big team like ND or BYU, **** everything will just fine. We need to sit back for a couple days to feel everything out and then be very aggressive if need be. This **** is getting old.
I wonder how many seasons without a bowl game it would take for them to change that tune.
the teams left over will look like the MAC when compared to the rosters of the big 4 conference's teams.
but but but we're going to dominate the SEC and keep showing tu who's Daddy in Texas.

Not sure what the longest thread on cyclonefanatic is, but this one was pretty dang long:

Bigger is not always better, but if the super conference ******** comes up again soon then the big twelve minus three better get on the horn to poach teams from other conferences. We are in a crappy position if the super conference race comes to reality our ****s would be stuck in the sand.

This whole thing is just stupid. I really don't even care any more. College sports is slowly dying IMO.
If this 16 team **** happens, I'll be send an email a day to remove non-profit status.

I think its more of a "we hate you and can't stand to be in the same conference with you...so go **** yourself" kind of thing. I don't think there is a whole lot of logic to it. It's like an unhappy marriage that finally reaches the breaking point.
