Report: OU & Texas reach out to join SEC

Also. No matter what people will say, KU is still yoked with KSU. People think this gives KSU an advantage over ISU. But what it does is hinder KU.
KU’s main liability is their football. No one wants to watch it. They are completely dependent on their opponent for TV eyes while ISU can hold its own. How many casual college football fans are going to watch a KU/Rutgers game on a Saturday afternoon? Contrast that with an ISU/Rutgers game. ISU football is magnitudes more valuable than KU. ISU will give a net gain while KU would actually detract from whatever game they are playing.

KU and KSU are not yolked together. This was brought up and cleared up last time. The state will not prevent a school from leaving to a different conference.

So how screwed does KU fandom feel knowing how bad the football team is and this is a football based Armageddon?

Yes you are. No matter what is being said publicly.

Bear is so awesome. He’s the only one at espn worth a ****.

I have not longed for the B1G. You said something about how it wasn't our best option, which it very clearly is. That's what we are "longing for"

Not at all what I said, but okay.

Based on what you said, I went back and read all of dbodeenisudm posts. And agree with you. They were fun, creative, and insightful.

Busy getting his resume together.

I need something to take my mind off college athletics. I think I'll start doing meth.

I definitely picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

The SEC isn't crazy good top to bottom like is projected, but how does UT not get buried further in this?

"67% of college football's powers"?

Seems like a weird thing to try and quantify. How do you define "power"? Is that like the Sex Panther cologne thing... 65% of the time it works every time?

Fran doesn't understand that the second tier schools' (like ISU) tv deals will be what is subsidizing this endeavor. And we will be so desperate for whatever they offer we will thank them for it.

I got a good laugh from this response:

I cannot get over how epic of a failure this is by Bob Bowlsby. Written (or spray-painted) on his headstone will be the words "Killed the Big 12."

How much do we make on TV now? 44 mill/10 for about 4.4 million?

Wonder if JP could sweeten the deal, say by surrendering our FB TV revenue for a few years, unless we make the conference title, a major bowl game, or the CFP. Big financial loss in the short term, but it might be worth it for decades of stability.

I have a coworker who is a TTech alum - those guys have to be PISSED. UT stole their outstanding basketball coach and now blowing up the conference while their football team isn't great.
