Can someone explain why KState is apparently ahead of IState on the draft order? Kansas makes sense due to Markets and National Brand in Basketball, KState not so much.

The longer this goes on, the worse I think it could be. I like the theories of JP and GG are quiet so they must have something in the works, but the Katz article is the closest thing I have ever seen to thinking the source could be from Iowa State..

A&M and OU have equal culpability here. Texas isn't far behind...Hoping for the best, preparing my mind for something less

Im assuming that if the BigXII survives that we will still have equal revenue sharing in the new tier1 rights? Not much has been said about that since the Meltdown of OU to full front.

I personally would love to be out from under OU and especially Texass renew a BigXII again, but I could stand them if we shared their money!

I was just thinking that if there are no standards and nobody to oversee athletics in any way then it basically becomes a minor league for the pros. In that case why would states continue to fund public universities?

This has been proposed before. Doubtful whether the NCAA would let them leave for football but remain for the other championships. One very prophetic meeting of the six BCS conferences led to this story:
Among the "emerging themes," according to a report provided to all member schools, was a prediction that in five to 10 years "conference affiliations and BCS affiliations may shift" and "conferences ... will increasingly break away from the NCAA."
That meeting was in 2003.

A, he lost

B, no democrat would help him now.

C. He realizes that it will take a set f laws, and years to stop what is going to happen 3 weeks from now.

A. No he didn't. Clinton was guilty of perjury and acquitted by the Senate

B. Without taking this discussion to the cave - not aligning with the democrats is not really a bad thing at this time

C. This situation isn't about a resolution - Starr is waiting for an offer (settlement) from a BCS conference that will take Baylor.
