Elaborate.

Which is why the move couldn't be more exciting. It's tremendous for past graduates and current and future students.

ROFL We've beat your ass plenty, Padawan.

Move along people; nothing to see here.

Well, sure. Almost exactly the same number of times we've beat your ass.

:spock:

Still not seeing your being a jerk about the KU stuff, right? Of course, that's part of the rationalization those considering the move would offer...doesn't necessarily make it true those, does it???

Heh.

Heh.
So you really think that the decision to change conferences (if invited, of course) would be left to the athletic department for the most part?

Exactly. It's a dumb take.

If they both leave, I could see OSU and OU moving to the north division and UH and TCU being invited to join the south. That would actually work out well for everyone... not a HUGE talent dropoff and both have solid academics

No way they move OU to the North that would mean no more Texas OU game every year. Nebraska alone probably brings in more revenue then both UH and TCU.

Only issue with that is that it even further weakens the Big 12's ability to negotiate a new TV deal. Adding more Texas schools doesn't improve the conference's ability to deliver TV sets.

The Big 12 would have to add new markets to survive, or partner extremely closely with the Pac-10. Or both.

I think the most likely thing is the Big 12 dies as its pieces are bitten off by conferences with competant leadership.

Yep...as much as they hate to admit it, losing MU would be very difficult to overcome in terms of negotiating a new TV contract.

There would still be an annual Texas vs OU game. It would be played at Reliant Stadium or Texas Stadium and would be called the Big XII Championship Game.

That is pretty much how I see it for Missouri.

But the Nebraska issue is different, they will be missed, and they have won something numerous times. The glory days are fading in people's memories, but they were one of the top programs for many years.

No, but it's driven more by money than anything else. It's just transparent and lame then to rationalize it further by adding...'oh, yeah; we like the academics too' when the difference isn't nearly that big of a deal.
