Lol wut? It's mostly been about speculation of where the remaining teams will go sprinkled in with a couple "I told you so"s.

Absolutely. Texas about to Nebraska themselves.

Don't think the SEC will stop with Texas and Oklahoma. At some point they are going to land Clemson and Florida State.

Wouldn't surprise me. That "gentleman's agreement" doesn't apply when there's a shitload of money to be made.

So irrelevant that the B1G took them in. Nobody wants your midmajor basketball program

Which the Big 12 could have had 10 years ago and prevented all this, but Texas had to veto it.

Which they are…ask any SEC fan.

These threads always just turn into people shit talking on KU.

Although I don't think I've witnessed many instances of KU fans flooding a Mizzou or Nebraska thread to shit talk.

Get on your knees & suck the B1G’s cock.

Have been for awhile.

Texas has killed two conferences now… SWC and Big 12.

Oklahoma really ****ed it all up by clinging to Bevo's nuts.

Possible SEC Pods:

Pod 1: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Vanderbilt
Pod 2: Alabama, Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss St
Pod 3: LSU, Mizzou, Kentucky, Tenn
Pod 4: OU, A&M, Texas, Arkansas

Or

North: Mizzou, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vanderbilt
West: Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Arkansas
East: South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Auburn
South: Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss, Mississippi State

You might have meant to quote my post before that, but yeah the rumor seems to be that Texas Tech and Oklahoma State agreed to back OU and UT as long as they gave them "protection" if conference movement continues.

That deal is obviously over and I bet they are pissed for getting stabbed in the back, but at this point its too late.

Just a clusterf**k

Yes, I did mean to quote the prior one. Oops.

Swap A&M and Mizzou

I can’t wait for all the “Horns Down” this season and the Refs not call the 15 yard penalty.

I went to Kentucky, dumbass.

For reference, this is the President of Oklahoma State

Lmao at KSU/Isu fan takes.

Always felt OU belonged in the SEC when realignment started. Perfect fit in every way.

Has a K-State fan said anything in this thread?

There are K-State fans?

SEC teams are no doubt looking forward to continuing their bowl tradition of lighting up Chokelahoma’s defense.

He’s proven time and time again to be an idiot. But it’s not his fault he graduated from Iowa, actually he probably didn’t even do that.

Looking at their h2h, doesn’t appear they’re actually beating OU a lot.

What is there to say? All there is to do is sit back and hope for the best (in my mind that's PAC12 at this point).


Has anyone brought out and dusted off When the Band Broke Up yet? A bit dated but, still fairly relevant and actually really well done with plenty of chuckles.

No. Referring to Facebook Fans that pop up.

Have you ever watched SEC football? In no scenario, no matter how many millions of scenarios you come up with does Alabama and Auburn not stay in the same division/pod/conference.

LMAO They actually introduced legislation in Texas to try and stop this.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Statement on filing of HB298: <a href="https://t.co/RgPoCn37oC">pic.twitter.com/RgPoCn37oC</a></p>&mdash; Dustin Burrows (@Burrows4TX) <a href="https://twitter.com/Burrows4TX/status/1418681652390285314?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 23, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I am pleased to file the companion bill, SB 76, to Chairman Dustin Burrows' HB 298, which would require legislative approval before a public senior college or university can change membership in a collegiate athletic conference. HB 298 is joint authored by Representatives Jeff Leach, Greg Bonnen, and Charlie Geren. I also want to thank my Senate joint authors - Senators Lois Kolkhorst, Charles Perry, and Beverly Powell, for their support and collaborative efforts.

This legislation would inhibit the proposed move of the University of Texas to the SEC without legislative approval. Such a move would negatively impact other Big 12 schools in our state like Baylor, TCU, and Texas Tech. These schools and their surrounding communities heavily depend on the financial income that BIG 12 football provides. Without a significant player like Texas, along with the possible departure of OU, the Big 12 becomes a less favorable conference, effectively losing a substantial amount of viewership and attendance. Texas athletic programs are pivotal to many areas of our state. A major change in conference dynamics could have a devastating effect on tourism, the economy, and the general status of Texas collegiate regions. Conference membership and standing also have the power to greatly enhance academic opportunities and the recruiting of faculty, scholars, and students.

The University of Texas is an agent of the state and is ultimately making an economic decision solely focused on their own welfare. What is best for the University of Texas may not be best for the state as a whole. The legislature represents the best interest of the state. Therefore, this decision cannot be made independently without legislative approval. This bill is the necessary course of action to avoid universities making decisions that are for their betterment but to the detriment of the state.

I am honored to work with fellow legislative members in both the Senate and the House, who understand the importance of this legislation. I seek to expand support with co-authors in both bodies. Thank you to Chairman Burrows for his leadership in this effort.

My colleagues and I urge the Governor to add this essential piece of legislation to our agenda for this current special session.

Not to stop it, but to look like they are supporting their constituents and alma maters. Political maneuvering is all. Just listened to an interview with Dusty Burrows where he basically said as much,

They know this legislation is going nowhere…

• Texas Leg is in special session, which means only bills approved by the Governor can reach the floor…
• Gov. Abbott is a UT alumni and has already made it quite clear he won’t interfere…
• Even if it reaches the floor, Texas Dems are still out of state and nothing can pass…
• And regardless, UT and OU combined have enough alumni in the Texas leg to block it

Baylor grads own the TX government. Its how they got into the Big 12 over Houston in the first place.

That, and Texas not wanting Houston in the Big12.

Is there anyway they can tell a suitor they bring the Manhattan market, and hope they don’t do their dilligence?

I always find it funny that Missouri fans think they're in a position to make fun of KU.

Good luck with your dreams of KU being left out in the cold, btw. I'm hearing that a move to the B1G is already informally agreed upon.

Teicher was just on Soren Fatro. Apparently he’s a Mich State alum. Was asked to pick two schools he’d like BIG to grab. “How about USC and UCLA?”

Soren was like “No, I mean, for real.” Holy hell is Teicher stupid.

Does the PAC have a GOR for like the next ten years or did that fall through?

Edit- Or am I thinking of the ACC? Or both?

The smoke does seem to be increasing on that front. While it means nothing, several message boards (including B1G schools) already seem to be acting like KU is a done deal. Quite likely it's only because that's the only one with confirmed discussions so far.

PAC is through 23/24.
Big 12 is 24/25

ACC and SEC are the only ones going into the mid-2030s

It's weird how the kstate fans on here disappeared the past 5 years or so

They died with Dan.

Outside of back to back wins against OU there hasn’t been much to talk about. And the BB program is dead to me until they come to their senses and move on from Weber (not happening any time soon, if ever). And I know other K-State fans who feel pretty much the same.

I know K-State fans that hated the Weber hire from the first minute, and haven't backed off that stance for a second since then.

I’d be one of them. A couple of times he had me thinking I might have to back off but, ultimately reverted to type.

What was it KU fans said at the time of that hire? When you succeed at Illinois you go to KU; when you fail at Illinois you go to K-State. As much as that statement hurts the ****ing leadership and big donors were/are more concerned with our “image” (thus running Martin out of town) than having a winning program and proved it true.

Found this interesting.

Nobody is going anywhere. Didnt we learn from this 10 years ago? This is a negotiating tactic.

BWillie working hard on the "always wrong" perception.

OU and UT have already announced they are leaving, it's just a matter of the buyout in 2 years or waiting the full 4.

And btw, 10 years ago the Big 12 lost 4 schools. It wasn't nothing.

EMAW is scared of another Asbury/Wooly era after running off Altman, because he wasn’t Kruger. As such, Weber will hang around (which coming full circle on the Illinois thing…EMAW thought they had a chance at Underwood, thinking he’d come home after his success at SFA, only to go to Champaign, after he wiped his ass with the Pokes - kind of ironic).

K-State could have had Underwood but they dragged their feet.

They also could have brought Gary Patterson home after Snyder retired the first time but, some idiot leaked the talks and Patterson quickly backed out.

We’ll be lucky to end up in one of the super conferences when this is all said and done with our boneheaded track record.

Where the real issue lies here is if you have 4 16 team power conferences and likely Notre Dame as an Indy..you have 65 teams.

Those conferences could very easily break away from the NCAA to form their own league. If that happens there's no telling what happens to the rest of college football, whether those teams join the FCS or try to form something else.

They should form something else.

I'm pretty sure that's the endgame, those schools make so much more money if they aren't giving the NCAA anything and they're playing top competition constantly.

You're downside is it could literally become a 2 conference type of thing resembling the AFC and NFC where it's literally NFL he with just the big boys.

That’s the end game. But instead of two conferences and 32 teams, it’s four conferences and 64 teams.

It's already in the Iowa athletic department that they will vote no if ISU is to be voted in. Plus the BIG will listen to Iowa and ISU going mid major only helps Iowa in a small state which is good for the conference. Iowa also controls the market in the state so bringing Iowa State does nothing as they are awful historically in football and good in basketball. This about money and football and neither are strong suits for ISU.

Good thing it takes more than one vote, and no one else has a reason to vote no other than the instate school that’s been shitting themselves recently about Iowa States recent emergence and now taking the top instate recruits.

Plus ISU going to a midmajor is so outdated. Quit listening to your friends on Facebook. Worst case scenario is they join the “Midwest division” of the Pac16/20.

Iowa in the B1G is like aTm in the SEC. their vote doesn’t matter, and they were left out of talks for a reason.

So this is happening. I’m surprised people people still have their heads in the sand. Fresh new take.

Also what exactly does Iowa “control” in state? If you go up a few posts to the viewers per school, Iowa sure as hell didn’t even have half the total viewers per game. It’s not recruiting anymore. The only thing they have right now is racism which we will gladly let you have that.

So a step down from Mizzou.

Wow. You’re dumb.

You guys will always have a top five Soybean team so that's something...

LMAO

I was thinking the same thing, where was the improvement? At best, a draw?

Yeah Iowa fears a school that has never won 10 games in a season and current coach has never beat them. The top recruit in the state that tried committing to Iowa in which they said no lets see how your grades do and it looks more and more will go juco. It's a pipe dream that ISU gets in the BIG cuz you're looking at playing UNI in conference games in the future.

LMAO

When your side chick says she's gonna leave you..

When you're so pissed you successfully invent time travel.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E7Bro5-X...g&name=900x900

They will not do anything but shake their fist in the sky and toe the line. They won't leave the SEC and will just have to accept UT and OU being there with them.

I am sure the Big 12 would welcome them back with desperate open arms… that’s their “leverage”.

Uh huh….

Lol you’re so mad.

Projecting hate on Mizzou, while we are cashing huge checks. I hope you find a good conference. Sucks you aren’t a blue blood like Kentucky, UNC, or Duke to force your way into a decent conference.

Much worse. Ku has nothing to improve a conference. Such a small population that nobody cares about. They don’t have the history of Duke to bring in, and the sustained success as Kentucky to consider as a member. They don’t have the population or national following. If their football team won more than a few games a decade they be a great fit in B1G. Instead they are mad a Mizzou for some reason. It’s weird. They say we are irrelevant but blame all of this on us. Are we irrelevant or not?

I'm sure the Big 10 would love to have them.

LMAO Some Grade A trolling going on here.

Duke’s history before Coach K is nothing.

Sorry bout you luck, bruh. Your school is an afterthought.

Not true ^

I pay you a compliment and you want to be dick in return? **** you then, border trash.

I’ll live. Take a gummy and relax.
