I also predict that all of you that have girlfriends or wives - someone else has been banging them, and they will leave you. Why? You're on the internet right now, not able to monitor them.
Mirror. Look in one.
Big 12 + Big East 18-14 team conference
They can keep their current basketball conference or be an even better hoops league by dumping the non football schools and joining up with KU, KSU, ISU, Mizzou etc...
Let A&M, OU, or whoever try to F us over. Let the ACC teams sweat it out about who gets poached and who is left out of a major conference.
I think you're underestimating ND's arrogance. They've turned down the Big 10 already, and I'm unclear as to how the Big 12 has more $$$ to offer than the Big 10 could offer. Maybe it's in the form of their own TV network, which the Big 10 probably wouldn't allow, but they can do their own network without a conference. ND is an outstanding academic institution, and on that front, the Big 12 just isn't as good a fit. If you think academics doesn't matter, you're kidding yourself. There's no way they're going to join a conference that's viewed as academically mediocre. The money they get from alumni and donors is huge, and that's a group that has staunchly opposed the school joining the Big 10, which is a much better geographic, cultural, academic, and athletic fit for the school. I don't see how anyone can think the Big 12 will be able to land them. But who knows, just my opinion.
My take. BYU and ND negotiations went bad. Mizzou and OU scrambling to get out by sept 1. **** will hit the fan early this week. Not panicking, just my 2cents. Flight aware never means good news for ISU and that flight has bad news written all over it's flight path.

I could live with the Big East. We'd definitely be more competitive in football, but basketball would be a different story. Not to mention a 20 team basketball league is a bit ridiculous.
