extending the GOR along with the "remaining eight". Supposedly, neither ISU nor KU (also WVU) would do so today at the conference telemeeting. Might mean something, might not.
Rumor has it...three Big 12 teams were unwilling to commit to ...
- Thread starter Mesaclone1
- Start date
ISU and KU are both just double and triple checking that the B1G doesn't want them.
Worst case is you wait this contract out. We got 4 years still. Why restrict ISU by by signing another especially if you can get into the BIG .

Texas and OU will be gone after this season. If we have a life raft we take it and we take it immediately.
It sounds like the MHVer3 rumor, and he was one of the unreliable rumor mongers the last time around along with thedudeofwv
And you know that's all it is...how?
I think that's a jump to pessimism which would be as foolish as jumping to unwarranted optimism in the light of such information. We simply don't have enough information to draw such conclusions...but the information is, nonetheless, very interesting.
So they wouldn’t shake hands to say that they would eventually sign a future GOR. Seems better than having to go back on their word later.
If true- that’s really good news. Jamie Pollard has a plan- let there be no doubt.
If (...if...) we have a deal with the Big 10, we're not waiting out the 4 years. Screwing with our own future just to stick it to OU and UT would be plain stupid at that point - in fact we'd be allies in wanting to end the conference.
I'd say everyone's unreliable at this point...and all information comes with a giant grain of salt at this point...but I've seen this in a couple places (could, of course, all track back to something like an MHver).
You linked to Mhver...not the Dude. Though I'd like to hear what the Dude is saying as well. The weird thing is that the WVU board is always the epicenter of these rumors...and sometimes valid information.
I don't know. Pure speculation. Like 99% of these threads.
There was something posted somewhere with a report that the B1G isn't looking to expand.
I would guess if there's even an inkling of a better chance that big schools from the Pac would eventually come along, the B1G will be patient and take them at some point instead of just taking on two schools that do nothing financially.
MHVer was one of those that was absolutely sure FSU and Clemson were headed to the big 12
Patience is generally a virtue in business...but I think not in this case. The B1G won't be in panic mode, but they can't afford to sit back and just let things develop while the SEC is in attack mode and trying to corner the market. There will be a quiet period with lots of backroom feelers and talks and negotiations occurring...and then some quick sharp strikes. Just my opinion of course.
It would be stupid to extend the GOR when the conference seemingly has no direction right now. I stand by the statement that if all the remaining “Big 8” do is expand everyone involved is screwed
I believe he said the date and time Big 12 officials would be in Tallahassee for the announcement.
