New Conference re-alignment thread (https://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=249847)

Another telling bit from the KOMU article...

Quote:

When asked if he had the needed votes from the SEC presidents for an invite he replied, "I'll let them speak for themselves, we're reasonably clear about where we stand."

Hope this shit is done tomorrow or the next day....

KU and K-State won't be invited to the Big 10. Give it up people.

I believe that was an MU fan that brought it up. I think you left something back in Wisconsin.

I brought it up (a Nebaska fan).

It's just something I'd like to see if all the conferences implode, but I guess I'm in the minority. The northeastern schools don't intrigue me at all.

If the conference were to implode, obviously the B!G would be fantastic. And yes, their options might be limited. I'm quite content with the Big XII and am excited about the prospects of new members. Obviously, as a basketball fan, I'd like to see Louisville and I favor expanding to 12 with Cincinnati and WVU.

I think NU made a good decision for themselves, I just can't stand Bo's Pelini, so no offense meant towards the Husker fan base at large.

I know Texas wants to stay at 10, but is willing to go to 12 if they split the new divisions with Texas in one and OU in the other but remaining permanent cross division opponents. I'd like to see that plan. I actually think it would be good for the conference as a whole if there were two Texas schools in each division. Gives those former North schools something more to sell to recruits.

Maybe something like:

Texas
Baylor
KU
ISU
Cincinnati
WVU

Texas Tech
TCU
KSU
OU
OSU
Louisville

You could make KU and KSU permanent rivals as well. OU and OSU have to remain in the same division since OU is crossed with Texas.

We do have some realingment news to report and it effects one of the local teams. Oral Roberts is leaving UMKC's home league, Summit, for the Southland Conference.

That'd be funny if your team didn't give up 50+ every week.

No, its still funny. We don't make our reputation on football.

Yeah a reputation on losing to mid majors in a sport that doesn't count is the way to go. Wonder why no conferences have invited KU :LOL:

No no no.....KK's going to have a "field day".....uh, for some reason.

Rumor on WVU boards is that the Big East exit penalty goes up by $5MM on Thursday. Anyone know if that is true?

Chuck Carlton tweet:

Hearing from Big 12 school sources that Missouri, Big 12 are negotiating legal issues, including departure date (2012 or '13) and exit fees.
