If the Big 12[ten] stays together... this whole ordeal will be much adieu about nothing.

Chances are shit hits the fan in a couple more years... so might as well say **** it NOW.

There comes a time when you just gotta stop worrying about money. Texas has all the money in the Big XII but that doesn't stop K-State from making them their bitch in football and basketball. :evil:

Totally agree. If we ended up in the MWC, KSU will become only interested in football again.
Frank and Delonte are on the first train headed out of town. Maybe Wooly will be competitive in the MWC?

If KSU is in the MWC that is the way it should be. Use whatever means available as a member of the MWC to better your football program. The money won't be there to really build two programs.

I think that's EXACTLY what some teams are considering (predominately, Mizzou and aTm)

I'm including Tex and Okla

Well, nevermind then.

Ancillary, for sure. But, yeah, it matters.

MU doesn't profile, in any way, with the likes of a Conf. USA.

Yep. And it will give schools more time to jockey for position... and then get out when they can.

The foundation of this conference is faulty... it will crumble eventually. Might as well grab a life jacket and get off the boat.

Petro: Texas, OU, and A&M giving North a golden shower.

Literally. Said we're drinking the urine of the big boys.

The thing is, once UT gives it's blessing to this new deal, Beebe is going to come out with another ultimatum deadline for aTm and MU.

sorry Beakers....PAC10 commish going home not to Lawrence

I know pride goeth before the fall, but I just can't stomach this. The thought of going MWC makes me physically ill, but the thought of being Texas' uber-bitch -- even for a couple more years when the conf. breaks up anyway -- is unacceptable.

C'mon, AtM, blow this ****er up.

Without being able to tune in here at work, what is Petro's super alternative?

Sure if KU has a Pac-10 offer and MU has a Big 10 offer in hand I can see them not dealing with the South and the golden showers. But aside from that, what else does he presume the North division do instead?

As a KSU fan, I realize our limitations and it looks like it will be being Texas financial tackling dummy or join the MWC and make pennies instead of dollars. So we will just take whatever Bevo gives us. Nothing else we can do about it.

if the Big 12 stays together it's just for one last money grab and more time to sort out where they are going to go. imo.

If any of the location schools have a chance to go to a new conference they like they should just take it. Who knows what might screw it up next year. They should know that Texas is leading the Big 12 south around by the nose and THAT THEY CAN'T TRUST TEXAS.

Get while the getting is good
