This has to be raw emotion talking, because this is a BCS conference that will now retain eligibility for the next 6 years. (we'll be re-evaluated after next season, pass, then keep the autobid another 4 years)

There are a hell of a lot of teams, some of them decent, who would join.

What would you do different if you were Iowa St...or the University of Kansas right now.

no kidding. Or KSU, or Baylor, or OSU, or TTech, or perhaps Mizzou.

"Screw this, I'm sick of your crap OU and Texas, I'm leaving! I'm...uhh... going to go to..... the MWC?"

Throw Bebee off the highest building in town

The top one is likely.

Why in the hell, New Mexico? Why not just go after UTEP? Holy Crap!

Texas doesn't want TCU. South Florida would be a much more interesting proposition and open up a new recruiting market. Add them with BYU and Louisville, and I think you got something.

But not with this "5 year guarantee" crap. Really? You expect to draw members that way? You expect to sign a bigger 1st tier deal that way?

People seem to be playing arm chair conference realignment with the idea that what you want to happen will happen if you go out and do it.

LMAO

No fan off Beebe...but I have said this before.

He came into an untenable situation.

BYU poised to join B12 if stability if assured.

But we offer all of the Texas member you can eat. It's surprisingly satisfying.

We aren't a BCS Conference....we are all just the practice teams for the eventual OU-UT Champs each year.

If I'm MU and I'm going to get my ass handed to me, I would prefer a different partner. At least we'd be respected for no longer being Texas' and Oklahoma's b****.

He was hired to be Texas' puppet. The situation had nothing to do with it; he was never his own man, which means he should deserve no respect.

I wish that there was a way the conference could poach a power school and tell Texas to get ****ed, because aside from them, I really like the BXII setup.

Alas, given that this conference is run like Central America in the 1930s, I don't see that happening.

Get in the SEC and let Texas suck the conference past the event horizon.

Yeah. If the Big XII can show some sign they are committed to one another, schools would jump in a heartbeat from the Big East. UConn and Rutgers are "committed" until ACC calls. TCU was discussing going back to the MWC. Basketball schools don't really have a say. Big XII has to try and get its house in order first, though.

You're guys are being so dramatic.

A commish is powerless in an unbalanced conference.
