Well that certainly sounds like something Deaton and Alden would conspire to do.

:facepalm:

This is going to be a mess that will take years to sort out...

KK claiming how these moves would stop state construction and cost jobs ROFL

No it doesn't, LOL.

I guess this means MU doesn't want to go to the SEC? Why in the world would they do this if that's what they wanted?

Hasn't this been what I have been saying all along...if Alden and Deaton can really screw something up, they will.

Of course...this source is coming from Baylor's back yard, so I would discount it till I heard soemthing more official

I try to look at this from the perspective of what makes the most sense for the power people. If the Big XII survives in its present form, Texas and Oklahoma basically rule the conference, and can expect to get the two BCS spots on a regular basis (either as conference champ or also-ran), with the second-tier teams fighting for leftovers and lower bowls and the lower tier teams providing bloody blow-out victories.

Why would they want to change that?

And while I put little stock in leaks from official sources, I put even less stock in official statements.

I'm assuming he's talking about capital improvement projects that have been put in the works based off the new TV contract. In which case he'd be true.

Shits gettin real crazy fast

This is the craziest thing I've ever followed, info is changing literally by the minute.

Texas Tech Rivals guy completely denies the report out of Waco.

Contrary to other reports #TexasTech not threatening legal action against anyone. Simply not true.

Do you believe you've been either the first or the loudest voice to say this?

I wouldn't trust those assholes to change my tire.

He is. K-State is a decent example of that, although almost all of that comes from Private Donor Funds. But it still stands. IF KSU went to a smaller non-BCS conference, do you think those donor dollars would continue to flow in at the same rate? I think not.

I wonder if they really are still holding out for that illusive Big 10 offer.

Here's the problem - it seems like nobody is listening to what's being suggested here.

Nobody is saying that anyone has threatened to sue. Even if the Waco report is accurate, nobody there is saying that anyone has threatened to sue.

They're only saying they won't waive their right to sue. That alone is sufficient to botch the whole works due to the SEC's conditional vote.

Texas Tech could absolutely refuse to sign that waiver without threatening to sue anyone. And while I'm not taking that report at face value, I've watched Mizzou's leadership dick up pretty much everything they've dealt with of late. Like I said, it certainly sounds just dumb enough for Mizzou to have done it.
