By the way, you need some more hay for that impressive strawman you are building.

I haven't seen any Mizzou fans, other than maybe Zach, who are thumping our chests about how we are somehow guaranteed to land in a great spot. All Mizzou fans had a nice helping of humble pie last year, so there's really no reason for anyone to get cocky.

Keep on fightin' the good fight though.

You don't have to get the Big East to think those schools are dead weight. You just need to come to an agreement with the schools to make a NEW conference. If you can propose more money than they make now and stability, I don't think it matters much.

Only way that happens is if the Big 12 schools invite the rest of the Big East into the Big 12. The non-football schools aren't leaving the Big East.

Zach's got all the answers because he went to Columbia once and took some pictures.

It's going to be funny when we spend a year bickering over this, and in the end the 5 Big 12 teams left will decide to pull in BYU, raid Conference USA, and keep on going.

Really, not a bad option. 5 member institutions = exit fees from the other 5. Or, roughly 30M/school.

And I'm not sure how KU would survive in the Big East. What with all the fouling and stuff.

Poor Zackipoo, if only you were actually as smart as you think you are.

I never accused you of being an *snicker* insider. That much is obvious.

I accuse you of being a pompous douche. In much the same way I accuse the sun of rising in the east and DaKCMan AP being Awesome.

Actually, it was some other Mizzou fan I was having this discussion with. I have actually been quite impressed with how the actual officials at Missouri have handled themselves this time around.

That is exactly what I am saying. Baylor, ISU, Kansas, KSU, Missouri and then the 8 football schools, throw in Villanova and have them come up to D1. I'm pretty sure that would force the hand of some of the basketball schools to agree to come over as just basketball, and if they don't, who really gives a shit.
