ChiefsPlanet - Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread

This would be awful. I hope the big 12 tells texas to cram up their pooper because that move would pave the way for texas to follow suit and go independent in football.

I agree that the six year rolling agreement is as close to a true complete lockdown as you can get, I just don't think it is completely impossible to get out of. When there is that much money involved, there seems to always be a way to bend the rules in your favor.

so the argument for a rolling 6 yr term is that anyone but Texas would be hard pressed to get out of it? :)

The reality is is that Texas will have enough money to get out of just about anything. The only thing you can really do is make as cost prohibitive as possible to make Texas at least think about it before they take off.

The rolling 6 yr term would be as close to ironclad as possible, even for Texas...but other than Texas, do you see any other school that would even think about trying to break it?

Any decision on the decision to make a decision to make a decision? Yet?

TCU is pretty awful at basketball aren't they? I think I read somewhere there was some doubt that they could win more than one or two games in Big East play.

Nope, it has been decided that they are not deciding yet LOL.

Doesn't matter. KSU had a B12 road record under Asbury/Wooly of 4 and 100,000. In one year of Huggins that all changed. You can turn around a CBBall program that quickly.

Same could be said about OBZ taking over your FB program, no?

And Snyder turned around KSU football, so might as well invite Tulane as well. This game is fun.

I don't think it matters. College BBall does turn around much quicker than football. I am sure the influx of money from the BIG XII tv contract will help TCU get some better BBall recruits and a better coach.

Only if Bill Snyder goes and turns them around. Tulane is pretty bad. I hate K-State as a rival and opponent, but Bill Snyder's turnaround of that program is one of the greatest in all of sports. K-State was an embarrassment in football for my lifetime, and my parents lifetime before Snyder came.

OBZ took a 5-7 team to 6-6 last season. He didn't so anything special.

Yea, we're pretty bad at basketball but TCU and it's boosters are serious about stepping that program up to the level of our other sports.

The impending big least move immediately paid off in the type of recruits we have been able to at least consider TCU. Moving to the big 12 will keep that trend up.
