Is Mizzou still in the mix to stay, or what? Been out of town.

Yeah, UT gets to play conference savior for now and it looks like we're all gonna be one big happy family for a while.

10 teams in the Big 12.

We know in basketball it definitely did & I think playing each other every year in football will make it better too...hate losing Nebraska because they'd been around since the beginning with MU & KU but they chose to abandon ship.

Dallas oilman and financier T. Boone Pickens, whose donations have transformed Oklahoma State athletics. He was optimistic after giving a talk in Austin and said he liked the idea of a lean Big 12.

"I don't want to go off and leave Iowa State, Kansas State or Baylor," Pickens said. "The Pac-10 is not that interesting. I'd rather trim the conference. I don't care if Nebraska leaves, I have no love for them. And I'd just as soon Missouri leave, and Colorado kind of fell in the same category."
Ouch!

I sort of agree with him..

Why did Texas want Iowa State & Kansas State?

Wait, when did T. Boone "transform" OSU athletics? Does the writer mean that Pickens helped finance new buildings? Because other than this, OSU is still a sack.

And they're competing with Iowa State, sorry Rust, for "most prestigious" university in the conference.

Pac-10 really got screwed in this deal...Colorado & Utah? ROFL

IF the Big 12 does fall apart, unfortunately it will take Bill Self about one season to leave KU for OSU.


ROFL ROFL ROFL

Iowa State is probably a better academic school.

If only he was rich enough not to have to suck Longhorn ass right along with the rest of us.

Maybe so.

Oklahoma isn't great, and I sure as **** wouldn't be doing any bragging about OSU.

If the kids don't walk first...... time will tell. USC has to walk a tight rope, how is that possible in Hollywood where the finest players are bought and paid ?

As I said, time will tell. Soon Mecca will be here to contest this very topic.

Not sure on Iowa St, but KSU for basketball, for sure. Helps that (and I could be wrong here) we end up beating them in football occasionally as well.

"The Big 12 is a great league that just got better," Martin said. "... Having a lot of teams doesn't necessarily make a power league, because you've got a huge discrepancy between the top-tier teams and the lower-tier teams. Our league right now is pretty evenly matched 1-10."


By the way, Martin's thoughts on Nebraska and Colorado: "I don't care about them."
