Losing TX would be a killer, hopefully we would see recruiting pick up in Ohio, Pennsylvannia and possibly Florida.

Rutgers is as good as gone, from what they are saying... so maybe something like this.

EAST
Connecticut
Pittsburgh
Cincinnati
South Florida
Syracuse
West Virginia

WEST
Memphis
Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State
Louisville
Missouri

What about Arizona and Villanova? "Wildcarts" is not a very unique mascot.

You're an incredibly naive douche. Me listing KU with a much higher Law school ranking in Florida does not equate to cherry picking. While Education is an important area, I don't value it near as much as Engineering or Medicine.

We'll agree to disagree.

Sounds like A&M will follow Texas wherever it goes, but if they end up in the Big 10, they'll leave Texas Tech twisting in the wind. Perhaps they could end up in the Big East.

Hell, who knows? The "Douchebag X of Biteme.com reports" machine seems to have died down a bit this morning.

Madtown? You been living under a rock your whole life? :)

who the **** cares? That's like bragging your name is Devo and it's awesome because it's unique.

Generic schools with made up traditions like "EMAW" obviously don't care.

I didn't mean that MU ****ed up the Big 10. I don't think the Big 10 deal was ever real. Just some people talking about scenarios and then all of a sudden the MU brass started publicly talking about it.

The Big 12 didn't like this.

From there the Big 12 was shown to be weak and others have since moved in to take it apart.

I'm not saying this wasn't inevitable. I'm still not so sure why MU thinks it had it so bad in the Big 12. Their football program is much better than what it was. I just think their heads got waaay too big.

KU, KSU, etc have sat by the whole time trying to find solutions and that has been proven to be the right thing to do.

I still want the Big 12 to stay together and we plug in a school for Colorado (they sucked at sports anyway) and do it again if Neb leaves.

Turns out Kansas has been on top of this the whole time. It's now coming out that T Boone Pickens and the Sooners really don't want to go anywhere. The realization of having to play in a PAC-10 that is now heavily tarnished by USC is not so appealing.

Texas will stay and I think we're a lot further from these 16 team superconferences then people think.

But who knows, just another theory

i don't know ... last i heard was that Texas and Texas A&M were about to have a meeting to make sure that they continue to play each other in a non con game if they don't end up in the same conference.

looks like TU may be cutting all it's texas barnacle schools loose. Which is funny because Texas will lose all it's ballot stuffers in it's new conference and a lot of it's power.

unlike the mighty Jayhawk, a mascot so stupid no one else wants it.

oh, sorry to disappoint you.

• Kansas Jayhawks teams and the official mascot of the University of Kansas
• Muskegon Community College athletics nickname
• the mascot for Jamestown Community College
• the school mascot for Head-Royce School in Oakland, California
• the school mascot for the now closed Jamestown High School in Jamestown, Kansas
• the school mascot for Jayhawk-Linn Junior-Senior High School near Mound City, Kansas
• the school mascot for Jericho High School in Jericho, New York
• the school mascot for Jeannette City School District in Jeannette, Pennsylvania
• the school mascot of Jefferson Central School, Jefferson, New York
• the school mascot of Saint Joseph's Catholic School, Ogden, Utah
• the school mascot of Urbandale High School, Urbandale, Iowa

THAT is a BCS conference?
Really?

LMAO.

I'm not trying to say one's better than the other.

I think Florida, Kansas, Kansas St, Nebraska and Missouri are all very comparable schools and each has their own strength.

LMAO

This post is beyond reeruned. The term "jayhawk" actually has historical significance and stands for something, unlike the generic "wildcart". This argument is silly, but it sure did expose you as a ****ing reerun. :)

haha, I know. Even my own posts make me chuckle sometimes.

I don't think it did from the University's perspective, but it certainly helped as far as getting the fans on board with the idea.

I know I've got a "jerkoff" emoticon somewhere....let me find it for you so you can illustrate how hard that idea makes you.

Yes, a scumbag who uses high-minded ideals he doesn't give a shit about as an excuse to rob and murder his neighbors!

emaw :whackit:

you're in junior high aren't you?

rcjh ku :whackit:

I Dunno that "EMAW' is any more or less queer than "Rock Chalk"...

http://www.kctv5.com/sports/23868261/detail.html

DALLAS, Tex -- A highly-placed source tells KCTV5 that the head of a television network has again told Big 12 officials they would like to form a Big 12-Pac-10 Network and that the conference's next television deal is lucrative enough to keep remaining Big 12 teams together.

Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe is using the potential contract to try and urge the remaining universities in the conference to stay together.

Oklahoma Athletic Director Joe Castiglione told the Oklahoma City Daily Oklahoman, "We have a very, very strong sense from our television partners that the revenue stream would be very, very good going forward. Better than where we are today.”

The current Big 12 television contract is a seven-year contract through 2016 with ABC that pays them $480 million, and the Fox Sports Network contract pays them $78 million and ends in 2012.

In 2008, the SEC signed a 12-year, $2.25 billion deal with ESPN/ABC and has a 15-year, $825 million agreement with CBS. Each SEC's school reportedly receives around $15-17 million per year from the television contracts.

Th Big Ten has a 10-year, $1 billion deal with ESPN/ABC and a 25-year, $2.8 billion deal with the Big Ten Network. Fox Sports owns a 49 percent stake in the Big Ten network and would likely want a similar deal with the Big 12 and Pac-10, KCTV5's sources said.

Not do derail this topic, but that's a pretty big oversight. How does one get Engineers and Doctors if not thru education? :)

Nah, more like a guerrilla fighter. Yes, some nasty things had to be done to sustain the cause just like in any other conflict involving partisans or guerrilla fighters. Now, shoo!

What does "EMAW" mean? Not being obnoxious - serious question.

Zach does not approve

Every Man A Wildcat

****. I'm sorry. :crybaby:

MWC just added Boise State

Yup, waving the wheat while lambasting an instate school for being an ag school is a classic example of this.

Thanks.

Every Manhattanian's a Wussy?

:clap:

Teachers make no money, they're obviously not important for the advancement of society.

You really aren't too bright, are you? In your previous post, during the course of a single paragraph no less, you correctly pointed out that no one can really know what's going on behind the scenes AND you drew conclusions as if you do. It's even worse that you couldn't figure out why I was calling you out and now you repeat your error here. Smooth move. :shake:

I guess Colorado isn't a big deal, bye bye

This is a huge clue and good news for all the remaining B12 schools. Looks like we might be staying as BCS schools after all.

Big 12 stayin together.

Nebraska will NOT be announcing the Big 10 move today.

Told ya'll

Oh, they left? I don't think anyone noticed.

What would give you the idea that Nebraska is staying?

Every MUron Asslicks Wildcats?

:shrug:

Because it's what KU is better than all the other schools in. Thus it doesn't matter. duh

Reminds me of Clemson's booster club, IPTAY. It stands for "I Pay Ten A Year," but my Clemson-grad friend told me the joke was it means "It's Probation Time Again Y'all."

I like that Boise State is headed to Mountain West. It's not a power conference, but it's a HUGE upgrade from the puny conference they were in. Maybe now, they will get a shot at the big game and they deserve it. Or is our President going to get us a playoff? Or how is that working now? Are they gonna start having playoffs next year? I know there was something about it, but I forgot.

Just heard on the radio that the presser today will not include a move to the big-10 announcement.

Thought is that other schools have contacted the big 10 about joining. Maybe Nebraska has moved on down the list.

I think he's thrown out every scenario imaginable at some point in this thread so when this all gets sorted out he can quote whichever post had the right info in it and proclaim himself as a genious.

if Notre Dame joins the Big 10 then Nebraska is out and they Big 10 just stops at 12 imo.

Press conference now to announce that the University of Colorado is now a member of the PAC-10.

I'm pretty sure Notre Dame said they are staying as an independent. Catholic pussies!

What the **** are you talking about?

All I'v ever said was that MU was not going to the Big 10 and Texas was not going to the Pac 10.

I stick to that.

Are you a Neb guy? Getting nervous?

Yes he is and yes he is.

Soooooooo....it finally comes out that Beebe is really a business & marketing mastermind and has used this situation to trick those simple-minded TV execs into renegotiating, while casting off a couple of dead-weight teams in the process as a bonus. Keep doubting Dan the Man.

Why would I be getting nervous?

if they do it's a mistake imo

no matter how many scream about what a marketing powerhouse ND is ... their football program is slowly dying and needs to be in a conference to rejuvenate it. Join now or join later ... it's gotta happen eventually.

Because EVERY big 12 school is nervous right now.

what ... Nebraska is just too good to be nervous? Puhhhhhleeze.

And so is the fanbase.
This is scary shit right now...

Relative to lawrence/ku-

Even Manhattan Adores Women

Big 11.

kepp beat me to it, but I really dont think your "big 10 said never mind to NU" scenario is believable.

The only believable scenario I can think of, given recent rumors, is that a TV exec walks in with staggeringly huge bags of money, dumps it on Nebraska's desk, and says "there's more where that came from if you dont go to the Big 10", and Nebraska says "Well... all right, then".

Colorado never really fit in anyway.

That school has much more of a Pac 10 feel (a million titles in sports no one else plays....ala skiing)

Oh, I'll feel better once it's over with, no question about that. But I'm confident that this is going to happen, and it's going to take more than Wickeddouche pulling shit out of out of his ass to get me uptight.

Well, you are the one that reminded me of it. I had kind of forgotten it, but after having it refreshed, it reminded me how pissed I was when that happened.
I REALLY wanted the Huskers to win that game, and it was a ****ing theft.

I'm not making a call on Neb to the big 10. Just relaying what I heard on the radio.

But if these talks of a huge PAC-10 / Big 12 TV deal is real and ND has decided it wants more time to decide then I can def see Neb not making any major announcement today.

Never a good fit scholastically either.

Boise State goes to the Mountain West.
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncaa/news/story?id=5276064

they may as well just go ahead and take Iowa State too.

UTEP should be in that conference.

Thats pretty good news, actually. MWC held off what, a week ago when it was thought that they might get some big 12 castoffs? This could mean they have decided that the big 12 will survive or that other BCS conferences will clean house before they get a chance.

repost

well, damn

if Nebraska doesn't announce a move to the B10 today, it's probably dead for now. and look for Texass and ND to join up.

in the end, if Texass leaves the B12, it will be for the B10. the Pac11ish makes no sense from a financial / power standpoint. none.

It's cool. I already called you a very smart individual in this thread, so it only makes sense we came to the same conclusion. :D

OK, who do we replace the ****s with?

Boise State leaving the WAC, opens up a spot for Missourah

Probably TCU.

that does nothing to benefit the B12 from a negotiation standpoint when reworking the TV deal.

Yep, elite public university.

Virginia
Michigan
Cal-Berkeley
Colorado

Wait...LMAO. Colorado is fine...just like Kansas, Missouri, and a host of others.
