All I have to say is that the Little Pansies in Oklahoma and Texas can go pound sand. They have just about everything in the world and cry like the little babies they are.

The biggest question now is when the B12 dissolves? Doubtful we get all the way to 2025...

The only way we don't get to 2025 is if 8 teams find homes in other P5 conferences. Otherwise, the conference will not dissolve and the GoR will not make financial sense to leave early.

The best chance we have now is hope for a PAC12 demise by 2024 and the Big12 coaches some teams. Even then, taking the best 16 from the PAC and Big12 might be okay for ISU. A PAC/Big12 merger would almost assuredly leave Baylor out. That leaves 5 teams for the 4 Big10 and SEC spots. Maybe the ACC takes WVU and all is happy (except for Baylor and Houston).

Like the article clearly states, I don't really see the cause for alarm. The GOR runs for another 9 years, why the rush to extend it now?

How is the conference not going to last until 2025? Unless there is some collusion and the so-called "forgotten schools" get a cushy landing spot, there is no way they'd vote against their own interest to dissolve the conference. And if they try to leave without dissolving the conference, their TV money is going to be tied up for years in the courts, and I'm sure Fox wouldn't want to be burned for paying premium $$$ for a product that is going to bring in substantially less revenue.

Who the hell knows what the football landscape will even look like in the 2020's. My guess is eventually these cable contracts come back down to earth, but I'm not sure what affect that will have on conference allignment.

All that being said I don't even understand why OU/UT would want to leave, I'm sure much if this is posturing from their camp to increase their leverage in ffectively running the conference. They get a crap ton of money and basically run the league by themselves, why would they take a possible marginal pay increase and lose their standing in the conference? Just doesn't make sense to me.

Just add BYU and someone else, merge with the Pac 12 and pull Colorado to our division. You have 13 teams, play a 9 game conference schedule, which works with scheduling as you'd play every team in your division 4/6 years and the winners of each division play for the title. You take TV sets while they are still relevant clear across the country and you have a "conference" that's too big for any one or two schools to sabotage.

This is absurd and will never happen. It is possible though that the Pac adds a third 6 team division.

Hopefully when Texas and OU leaves, the rest of the Big 12 can do some sort of merger with the Pac 12. At least then we can maybe form a division with some of the same universities in the Big 12.

Football moves rather slowly. Lots of things are in motion several years in advance.

The gor may only go until 2025. But schools will start planning ahead of that, and moves would likely happen ahead, with negotiated exits for the last year or two. This also means the processes where schools explore their options go a few years before that. Then you look at recruiting.. recruiting may start to crater for at-risk schools like ISU where players may not want to sign up for a school that may or may not be in a major conference by the time they graduate.

So really we're looking at about 5 years before this starts to have a real effect, even though the GoR goes on longer.

Agreed. The only two factors which will entice UT and OU to leave are money and the Big 12 consistently passed over for football playoffs for the other conferences. No need to sign GOR extention until they know the situation further down the road. It sucks for ISU, however hope there will be more cable cutting and expanded playoffs in the interim time to avoid it.
