doesn't CU going to the pac-10 mean that there is no room for Baylor?

no Baylor, no Texas if the lawmakers in Texasland have anything to do with it.

Eh, never mind. Still rumor.

sorta.

I must have missed that post

I don't think so. They will still go. The politicians tried to intercede on Baylor's behalf but they wouldn't hold the whole thing up now over it, surely.

Supposedly Berkley was against then because they're a Baptist institution as well, I read somewhere.

doubt it, unless somebody else gets left out. a 17 team conference doesn't really work.

Yeah. That's what I took a quick glance at. I reread it though.

Sorry. I'll go back to my corner.

:sulk:

i've never understood this reasoning here. i understand that the three public schools are linked, but why is Baylor?

and i don't think UT will ever let A&M join the SEC. if they're in a different conference, it opens up a whole new recruiting ground for the SEC.

LOL.. That's what I thought too.

The only push for Baylor to be included is being made by Baylor.

I feel like I have a 2-ton Wildcat around my neck.

You truly are a hypersensitive pussy.

As best I can tell, there's not a MU fan in this thread that isn't sweating right alongside the poor persecuted Beakers.

No worries
 

That's just me...........

your a 2 ton pussy?

So with the CU announcement and the probable impending announcement of OSU (and 4 others), does the Big 10 act now and start handing out 5 invites to form their own 16 team conference?

It seems like they are going to want to do this before other conferences start to poach unaffiliated teams and they run out of choices or enough teams to make up a 16 team super-conference to rival Pac-16 beast that will soon emerge.

Side note:

With all of the USC shit hitting the fan, this is the perfect time for a power house like Texas to come into the Pac-10/16 and rip away prospects/recruits and kick the shit out of some teams.

Well, yeah. Actually, these days, I'm more like a 1.5 ton'r. P90X, rocks!

Well, this is the fall of the big 12 for sure.

Not really. The Pac-10, Big-10 and SEC (with the exception of maybe 1 or 2 teams) wouldn't be going after the same schools.

It looks like the camps are guarded optimism and dread. I dont see how you could be confident about anything right now beyond those.

ROFL

:clap: but with that slow, building clap they use in movies

LMAO

What the hell is about? It's been relatively calm lately. Since I made Zach cry yesterday, even I've been trying to tone it down a bit.

They'd all take Texas and ND, I don't see much overlap besides that.

Maybe, Get some guys from the mountain west.

I see you changed your av, and are being a little more humble.

ROFL

So if Tom Izzo goes to coach Cleveland and the Big-12 dissolves, does Self take a position at MSU if it is offered?

They'd all take Texas. The SEC and Pac-10 might both want Texas A&M. Other than that, there's not much so no need to rush.

Humble? If making fun of the basketball-centric Kansas fans is "arrogant," then guilty as charged.

Our university (read: basketball program) is best!!!!

OK Gang...

Almost certainly.

MU chancellor wants to talk to Texas president on heels of Colorado move


Someone just realized they ****ed up.

Nope.

Yeah, I didn't think you had sense enough. At least some others are partaking in a bit of humble pie.

If KU goes to the MWC, I'd say the time table of Bill Self going to the NBA will be greatly accelerated.

Insanity.

Link?

"oops. Our bad"

Agreed! No way KU keeps Coach Self or its baskeball program as a traditional school if that happens.. They will fall into the relms of has beens and be done.

Won't disagree, but he won't be leaving to take over MSU this year.

KU has, and always will be an "elite".

MU, never had it, never will.

ROFL @ BIG TEN INVITE

It coulde similar to when an underling goes to the Mafia Don and asks for a favor. Everyone in the Big 12 is terrified of Texas, so it could just be a meet and beg for mercy type of meeting... "How much does CU have to pay to get out of this? Please don't make me pay too much, I beg you."

This post doesn't even have a tangential connection to the post that you quoted.

Scott Van Pelt is reporting VT and A&M possibles to the SEC.

makes no sense whatsoever.

If the Big 12 collapses, there is no exit penalty at all. If it does not collapse, the penalty is written into the contract and set in stone. There's no reason, at all, to agree to reduce it.

Missouri either is afraid they will get left out now, or if Tiger fans want to be optimistic, they have an offer but would genuinely like to save the Big 12 if possible at new reasonable terms and wants to give it a shot before leaving.

Hey Laz, you were complaining about arrogant jackasses ruining the thread earlier? We need a clean-up on Aisle Douche.

Alright, thanks!

I guess now would be a good time to run and try and get terms renegotiated since it is obvious teams are leaving... but I would say it is too little too late for sure.

Both would be outstanding gets, IMO.

This post is suggestive of a lack of respect for KU basketball. Neg rep sent.

The original reports going back weeks all said it was all but a done deal. I think they could be waiting for the Big 12 to collapse so they save the penalties, could they not?

Tangential connection? He's too good to need that. :harumph:

Did we just get another banner?

Thanks. Apparently, I'm a bad person.

if the conference will collapse, then waiting does nothing for you. The penalty is in the form of a reduced share of future revenue, its not some sort of fine that has to be paid now.

who is we?

U ALL JUST SIT AT HOME ALL DAY AN WISH U HAD KU BBALL CRED; BUT U DONT SO U COME ON DA INTERWEBS AND TALK SH@T AN NO IN UR HEARTS WERE NO 1 AND U AINT.

is this serious? please tell me this is serious...

I mean, you do sound like a KU grad...

its serious.....

At least KU's bball program is big enough to run as an independent, I would think. I dont think that will happen though.

What's MU going to do?

Don't you need 9 votes to dissolve the big 12? So even in the worst case scenario, the 4 remaining schools force everyone else to pay the exit fees.

http://theshiver.com/2010/06/kansas-...ts-with-media/

Bill Self talks about re-alignment at 2:23. Gets pretty desperate.

So any news today?

you might be right. I'm relying on secondhand information saying that once they get under 6 teams, the Big 12 is dead.

Also, I doubt that the left behind schools stay under the big 12 banner just to collect some extra money for 2 years. If the conference is dead, everyone will bail quickly, MWC, Big East, whatever everyone will have "left".

Colorado to the Pac Ten

Colorado leaves Big 12 for Pac-10
Fox SportsPRINT EMAIL RSS ADD THIS 141 comments »Updated Jun 10, 2010 1:51 PM ET
The Colorado Buffaloes have bolted from the Big 12, accepting an invitation Thursday to become the 11th member of the Pac-10 Conference.

Colorado's move was first reported by The Sporting News.

Before the Buffaloes jumped ship to another conference, Nebraska looked poised to become the first team to leave the Big 12, possibly exiting for the Big Ten as soon as Friday.

With Colorado gone and Nebraska on the verge of maybe moving on, this could seriously damage remaining members' hopes to keep the Big 12 intact. Schools such as Missouri, Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas and Kansas State might be left on the sidelines.

“This is an historic moment for the Conference, as the Pac-10 is poised for tremendous growth," Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement. "The University of Colorado is a great fit for the Conference both academically and athletically."

A press conference is scheduled for Friday at 1 p.m. ET.

The official statement offered no information about when Colorado would begin playing in the Pac-10. The Daily Camera reported earlier Thursday that it would take effect for the 2012 season.

“On behalf of The University of Colorado students, faculty, alumni and fans, we are proud to accept this invitation from the Pac-10 and join the most prestigious academic and athletic conference in the nation,“ Colorado Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano said in a statement.

Texas and Texas A&M officials are scheduled to meet to discuss the future of their programs. Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds has said he wants to keep the Big 12 together.

Baylor and Texas Tech officials have said that even if the Big 12 breaks apart, they want to remain with Texas and Texas A&M as members of the same conference.

The Pac-10 currently consists of Arizona, Arizona State, Cal, Oregon, Oregon State, Stanford, UCLA, USC, Washington and Washington State.

I want to hunt down Dan Beebe and punch him in his ****ing nose. Is that so wrong?

In other news, the Japanese have bombed Pearl Harbor.

A tweet from a OK journalist

From the Oklahoman: OSU booster Boone Pickens: "We're in" -- if Big 12 exodus to Pac-10 happens. “It cost us, but we’re in.”

LMAO. What's another couple windmills, Boone?

shocking........

Why?

Cuz he is the most inept mother****er since Ken Lay.



I do want to go on Record, saying that I hope that MU gets a Big Ten invite and that KU and KSU go to the Big ACC Leftovers or SEC.

I want all three teams to keep on being awesome and relevant.

It would suck for one or more of us to get hosed.

Sad thing is, John Marinatto makes Dan Beebe look like a genius. I don't think Marinatto even knows Big East football exists.

I don't think he is inept. He's powerless. There's a difference.
