I'm not sure. Would have to be ACC because OK State, Oklahoma, Texas, and TT would be in the Pac 16.

I guess we will know what is going on after both Regents meetings monday.

Re: Big XII needs a New Commissioner
Is that what's happening? I don't believe anyone outside of OU truly knows.

Re: Big XII needs a New Commissioner
I want to believe you, I really, really do...but the longer this goes on, the less likely it seems, if this was a game of chicken, then the other conferences are out maneuvering OU and Texas in the process...I don't know, I don't have a clue, but I don't think anyone on this board does either...
Well, we could win the West. It still makes me sick though. That's a huge step down academically for Iowa State. Would that conference be an auto qualifier?
What happens to the Fiesta Bowl now that the end is nigh for both of their conference partners? How do BCS bowls protect themselves from conference realignment?

Re: Big XII needs a New Commissioner
He is the commisioner and he has power. So far he is doing very well. The only mistake he made was not forcing a contract and a big buy-out last year, but it's not that he didn't try. Schools weren't ready.
Re: Big XII needs a New Commissioner
Dan Beebe problem is that he is too comfortable with the way things are, and too much into Texas. The Big 12 conference is too big into Texas. This has got to quit being about the halves and the thoughts and wishes of the halves-not need the same amount of attention.
We also need to get away from the idea that if we lose Texas we are screwed. They are the big money winner for the conference, but bringing in BYU, South Florida, etc wouldn't be a bad conference. I think we could even pouch some schools from other conferences if we weren't so unstable.

If the current big east has a BCS bid, why wouldn't that get one? If Pitt is your bell-cow school and you got a BCS bud then anything is possible.
5 BCS conferences with 3 spots for at-large. Or 5 bids with 5 at-large.
Re: Big XII needs a New Commissioner
All signs are pointing to this not happening.
I seem to remember you also being 100% convinced that TAMU would never leave.

Re: Big XII needs a New Commissioner
I doubt it -- they won't run out, call a press conference and tell us everything discussed behind closed doors. EVER.
Re: Big XII needs a New Commissioner
Ok this is probably only my second or so post in any re-alignment thread, so forgive my ignorance. But from what i read.. this is TEXAS' fault and even more fault of DAN BEBEE.
The conference didn't fall apart because of A&M or nebraska or colorado even.
Teams will look for their own best interest. Its the head commissioners job to keep everyone together. I blame Texas for their longhorn network, but its really Bebee's fault for allowing that ****.

Re: Big XII needs a New Commissioner
The longer this goes on the better the outcome will be. Too many people who expect the worse and don't undertand the importance of patience and process.
Re: Big XII needs a New Commissioner
FDR could have been commissioner and the conference still would have fallen apart.
Re: Big XII needs a New Commissioner
And they have not left. They can't. SEC was warned of legal ramifications. 100% convinced that would happen too.......remember. A&M may leave but not until the ISU's of this world are happy with the new order. Getting Dr Tom out was the first step to equal revenue sharing. Told you that too.
Seriously...you don't think we have a chance in every game we play?
You have a screw loose.
Re: Big XII needs a New Commissioner
This is not Beebe's fault, this is not Texas's fault. This is the fault of those that agreed to things, then got butthurt because Texas used those things to their advantage better than they did.
(not saying that Beebe and Texas have no fault in it, they just get blamed too much.)
