Wouldn't the documentation of a six year media rights waiver to the conference be available via the freedom of information act? That is how details on coaches contracts are usually obtained. Seems like if the six year pact is a done deal, the contract would be available to see.

Tech is just along for the ride, much like KSU. They have no clue what is really going on behind the scenes.

Pledging the media rights was discussed non-stop when the league was trying to keep A&M and Missouri. If every school signed it, the Big 12 would certainly throw a parade and send out mass press releases to try and prove to everyone else how stable the league is.

The Big 12 is a ticking time bomb.

But a guy whose username is TTRaider is plugged in?

It's not a credible claim yet. It's just a post from a poster who proved to have correct insider information previously on conference realignment and claims to have it again.

Do you know the guy's posting history? He has earned slightly more credibility than your random internet message board poster.

And I'm not saying this guy is gospel, but it is an interesting comment that helps support the general feeling outside the Big 12 that texass is bolting sooner rather than later.

If Texas and OU bolt for the PAC-XX and my name is Okie Lite, Kansas, Kansas State, Texas Tech, Baylor or Iowa State, I would be afraid. Very afraid.

"There is no such thing as a super-conference.

The US economy is fine, Africa is curing disease, and the Big 12 will last FOREVER..."

Actually, I think Baylor and KSU have the most to worry about. My gut tells me that if the Big XII fell apart, TCU and WVU would head to the SEC. Also I think the Big X would surprise most experts and take ISU. They have decent athletics and are an AAU university that is big into research. KU I also see going to the Big X. I think if KU was offered that spot sans KSU they would cut ties with them in a heartbeat. TT and OSU go wherever Texas and OU go.

Wow. No. Just...no

Why wouldn't Oklahoma State get to go along with UT and OU? They have a great football program and a lot of financial backing, obviously.

The Big Ten is not going to invite Kansas and Iowa State. That's hilarious.

Because Oklahoma State is basically a community college, and the old school academic guard in the PAC still has a lot of power. I think the next round of expansion sees Texas and OU both shrugging off little brother(s) as they move to the PAC.

If the PAC was willing to accept Okie Lite, OU and oSu would both already be in the league. OU's desire to bring oSu with it is the REAL reason they came back to the Big Clusterf****. Unless you REALLY believe David Boren wanted to "save the league."

I'm not making any judgements about that poster. I'm making judgments about your logic.

Can we assume that TTRaider (as in T[exas]T[ech][Red]R[aider]) is getting his historically-reliable inside info because he has connections inside Texas Tech? It seems likely. If so, then you shouldn't then also claim that Texas Tech is "just along for the ride," lacking knowledge of "behind the scenes" goings-on.

Either the dude's been consistently correct breaking information, or he hasn't. He has. That's really all that matters.
