Of course, money can make both sides happy. But it goes beyond the 'penalty'. This is about litigation. Which, IMO, is already being flirted with on a very large scale. That, too, can 'settle'. It all depends on the credibility of the accusations.
Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC
- Thread starter BigJCy
- Start date
All this buys time and ability to either reposition the conference OR dissolve it efficiently into other P4s.
Perhaps his legal name is Ruttttt-Mry.
I think you can easily look at this the other way. ISU is doing well in viewership, attendance and other metrics while just scratching the surface of what’s possible. This isn’t your grandpa’s Iowa State institutionally or athletically. This program has potential that it only needs continued time and resources to realize. Imagine what this program could be after another decade.
Additionally, KU won’t stay bad forever if they remain P5. They are having one of the worst runs in college football history and are incredibly still in the top 30 in revenue. We don’t know if the right people are in place, but poor facilities, bad luck and even incompetence usually don’t last forever.
Wow, I’m surprised his language was that aggressive.
Kansas has to notify its regents before engaging in realignment talk. I’d bet that they did so with ESPN trying to connect them and WVU to the ACC and the news got to someone affiliated with K-State, who told Bowlsby immediately.
the fact that the Big 12 sent this only to ESPN, and not ESPN and FOX, probably means this is about the ACC and not the B1G or Pac-12.

I have to believe that OU and Texas will put pressure on the SEC to bring over at least 2 more Big 12 teams. Otherwise, we may not see any of the other P4 conferences take action to expand. And that means the Big 12 will focus 100% of their attention on a lawsuit against OU and Texas
Yep me too, but I'm sure he is pretty pissed off. I'm sure he doesn't like being called an idiot for being blindsided by this.
Next breaking news: B12 backtracks, Horns Down ok from here on out.
K-State has every reason to be a part of this. Good for Bowlsby. Get us some coin!
Especially when basically everyone was blindsided by this.
McMurphy doesn't like ESPN at all since he was laid off by them but though this was pretty good:
Because the bylaws require you to inform the other members within 12 hours and they don't want to be caught up in a lawsuit like Texas and OU will be over the same thing?
