I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm inclined to believe that it's a likely scenario even if Mongo is just making it up. I don't see any reason that Texas would want to stay in the Big IIX.

If this does go down, the ACC phone lines will be blowing up with desperate leftover teams.

That article asserts that all 10 Big IIX teams had signed the grant of rights at the point, but it was posted on November 2 - before Missouri's move to the SEC was announced.

It has been clearly stated by Missouri officials that Mizzou never granted its rights to the Big 12. That means this blog is inaccurate in that at least. What else is wrong? Hard to say how many teams actually signed the grant of rights.

It was referring to 9 and 10 being TCU and WVU. Which, as of the meeting on Nov 1, had both been accepted and signed over rights on the day of that article.

I'll bow out of this thread while I watch KSU do their part to win a share of something Missouri hasn't done in 40 years.

KSU has had a great year, no question. But it will have to be meaningful in the short term for KSU to "share" a conference title with the two teams that beat the Wildcats during conference play.

Clearly, you're on par with OSU and OU this year.

I think it is a mistake to assume he is a Texas Tech insider or even fan just because of his handle. If someone has legit inside info, they are likely to be very careful to not leak their true identity.

How would a Texas Tech insider have such accurate info on Mizzou's move to the SEC, including dates of when Mizzou when hold a press conference? Why would a Tech insider only post this info on a Mizzou board? That doesn't make any sense. TTRaider could just as easily be a higher-up at Mizzou or Texas.

Enjoy the Moutain West/CUSA.

Did you enjoy that sack

Probably about as much as he enjoyed that TD pass.

You mean give a shit what a pissed off K-State fan thinks? *high fives Mizzou fans*

That's reasonable.

Agreed. I'd put more stock into his posting history than his user name.

Wait, I thought Texas wanted to stay in the Big 12 because everyone in the conference did whatever Texas wanted them to do?

It's not so great having crappy teams that bring no value doing your bidding. Without Denver, Omaha, Kansas City, Saint Louis, and the aTm fanbase, it's not the same.

That's probably true. I've always thought Texas wanted to be the "big dog" in the conference - not sure that be that going to Pac 12.
