UNI, you do realize that's a fake Twitter account, right?

I've seen nothing that makes him any more or less real than any of the other people spouting crap...and its nice to have something tweeted that doesn't involve us falling off the face of the earth....real or not.

Breaking all sorts of unrelated "news" in the last twelve hours.
I personally believe alot of things are going on behind closed doors with the forgotten 5. They built the foundation and "contingency" plan last year, the new Big 12 contract is in place and with FOX officials calling the shots I fully believe the Big 12 continues.

I agree, the forgotten 5 have a contingency plan in place, that we know for sure. I guess we can validate one of his assertions by checking flight tracker for Baylor and ISU and whether they are headed to KC.

this is not a true false test -- it is multiple choice -- I suggest you figure that out quickly or you will look even more ridiculous.

What's ridiculous is a person calling out nobodys who spout off worthless information while he himself is a nobody spouting off worthless information.

So say rebuilding does happen,
-Does Big 12 retain AQ status?
-Can they collect exit fees for leaving schools?

It'd be funny if a rebuilt Big XII continues to have a larger Tier 2 contract than Tier 1 even after a new contract is signed in 2016.

Thats a good short term deal but I don't think that Fox would renew the deal down the road with that new Big 12 setup.
13 years is short term? A lot of things can happen between now and then and Texas will have destroyed another league.

By then i think at least one of the 16 team conferences will have imploded if they go to 16. Its just not a good model for a conference structure. Best to just keep things at 8-12 teams, even better at 8-10

I agree with this, and don't understand the super conferences outside of a tournament system.
