Probably not, but it is in Texas.

It will have to be someone from a smaller conference. There's no way the Big 12 could convince a school in a bigger conference to come play with them.

Obama must have stepped in and put a kabash to dismantling of the current alignment, he was bound to find something he could do. :D

They are stayin in the Big12. Bitch.

Could we trade Iowa State for Northern Iowa?

Iowa State is going to win the north this year. You can bank on that.

Wrestling?

Utah is a more likely option.

FOX is already throwing money at BIGPAC11-11. Don't think that's an issue. I wonder if TCU joining would make one of the Oklahoma schools to move to the North.

And Football.

:eek:

Once you get to the university level, most Engineering professors do not have Education degrees. Most Medical Doctors (teaching or not) do not have Education degrees. Most Law professors do not have Education degrees.

Education is extremely important. However, graduate school for Education is not as important, IMO, as graduate school for Engineers, Doctors, etc. My dad has a graduate degree in Education. Many of my friends are working on theirs. However, most of my teachers growing up did not have graduate degrees in Education and I was still able to go obtain my graduate degree(s).

Is engineering considered a "professional" degree? If not, linking it with law and medicine is tenuous at best.

Perhaps it is. Don't know, really.

EDIT:

Was thinking of Architecture for some reason. Not sure about Engineering.

IMO, a professional degree is a college degree which allows you to work in a particular profession that is not open to others without this degree.

In this definition, yes, an Engineering degree is a professional degree. You can't go be an engineer without the required education, just like you can't be a lawyer or a doctor without the required education. While a graduate engineering degree may not be required, IMO, engineering is one of, if not the most, strenuous undergraduate degrees. Further, engineering graduates have the option (and for some fields it's a requirement) to post-graduation obtain a 'Professional Engineer' license.

Professional schools usually give you a license when you're done and you're pretty much guaranteed work immediately. I think that's what Deez was getting at.
