ChiefsPlanet - Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread

If Texas had what they wanted, they would be playing in the Pac 12 right now and most of the Big XII would be out on life rafts trying to find a boat to cling onto.

I don't even root for any of these Big XII teams... but to me it looks like you all had a hot girlfriend, she tried to leave you... the other guys wouldn't put up with her excrement, and she came running back to where she started acting like she's changed. I think we all know how that story usually ends.

What do you think all the negotiating going on this week is about then?

A new sharing deal was just announced yesterday. It's not like all these schools are just sitting around looking out the window at the clouds all day.

KU and Texas have met four times in the Big 12 title game.

Texas has challenged KU for the regular season title many times tying each other twice (2006 and 2008).

yea, its a rivalry...

So.. Texas is your rival in Football?

Just so not correct I can't begin to explain.

But we each have our opinions and that's fine.

The teams involved run the league.

So in that case I don't see what you mean by "Texas doing right for the Big 12"..

Everyone signed on for unregulated third tier rights. Kansas was happy to do so knowing they would make a ton of $$ in doing so, and they have.

Texas has done nothing to Kansas to harm the institution.

And I still trying to figure out what they've done to Missouri.

It is simple really. Texas is your business partner, do you trust them enough to be in business with them and that they won't steal your money and destroy your business?

I am seeing the beginning phases of different Kansas fans having an intervention for Wickedson.

There is no cure for Wickedson. He is in his own world.

Maybe I'm just cynical 'ol Beebs, but I assume that KOMU, the Mizzou-owned TV station, shows no high school highlights, right?

Well they've been business partners for about what? 16 years now?

And Kansas has an endowment of over a billion dollars?

So yea, I guess I would trust them to continue making my school money which helps educate students, build facilities, and invest in technology.

Texas has been a pretty good business partner.

The real question though is not about 5 or 6 year deals... this kind of stuff, you have to think 15-20 years into the future. I am definitely not saying the Big XII is going to dissolve in five years... but long term, the Big XII and Big East are definitely on shakier ground than everyone else. There's been so much backstabbing and turmoil, it just looks ugly. But things can change in 5 years.

Given the way this sentence ended, the bold would have sufficed.
