You will beat us in football, we will beat you in basketball, all will be right with the world...

half the time in basketball hopefully ;)

eff that. we can't be done yet. i was just getting in to this whole thing!

Larry Scott threw in the towel!! Game over Pac 10...........thanks for taking Colorado.

Thank you thank you Nebraska!!! You all got the **** out and now the Big 12 is the #1 RPI Conference and more money for everyone!!

Man what a great day this has been compared to where we were last week!!

SO NU enjoy your long ass plane rides (no more driving to watch a game) and for a final time.......go **** yourselves!! Never have to speak or hear from you again. Well in football one more time and two gimmie basketball wins for our local schools. Oh almost forgot about the penalty that you WILL have to pay............Mr. ****face Chancellor!! Enjoy your new academic "stature."

hoax. Utah likely goes to the PAC-10. Honestly, with this big windfall promise from the still-unnamed TV network, it doesn't make sense to expand unless the new schools can bring in at least $15-20MM in value per year.

Annnnnnd Kstate is still equal to a JUCO.

It's either this or World Cup soccer right now.

I dont want to have to read through thousands of posts...can someone please tell me who is going to the BigTen?

Don't forget, half the time in football. Basketball? Doubtful.

Nebraska.

MU isn't.

:)

:D Did UT tell you it was okay to post this?

only Nebraska?

Well that was a wild ride ending up in a whole lot of more of the same. This is a massive letdown and an embarrassment nationally but I'll get over it a lot faster in the Big 12 than in the MWC. Bottom line if Texas didn't move MU couldn't, now I just hope they try to get 2 more teams and keep the championship game.

My Winners and Losers

Winners- Nebraska, Colorado, K-State, Iowa St, Baylor, Big East

Losers- Missouri, Texas A&M, Big-10, Pac-10, Big 12

Potential losers(if Big 12 expands)-Boise St and the Mountain West Conference

Invite TCU and see if you can get Arkansas to switch, given that they'll get far more TV revenue from a new contract.

Yes.

there bringing a shitload of corncobs too

:doh!: nope....

:rolleyes: There's no love lost from our end either.

The MWC even without BYU and AF is still better than the WAC for Boise St.

And your breath won't smell like UT cock.

Was told #Mizzou athletic dept is celebrating news that Big 12 (minus 2) is officially back on. There was grave concern at MU last few days

Enjoy getting drilled financially by Texas:D

Damn, I was hoping that some of the pussy spread teams would come along for the ride

/ducks

No shit.

Headline: Rudderless ship doesn't hit rock.

Texas visits Manhattan this year in football.

I for one, will be clapping for the Longhorns as they take the field.

TEXAS, FIGHT!

Boomer Sooner just released a statement saying they are saying.

I just received a Tweet contradicting that they're saying what they're saying. Know what I'm saying, Mr. Parker?

and KU avoided the Missouri Valley. :)

Haha. *Staying

I see Kstate is selling the Missouri State/ Nebraska tickets for a 100 bucks. Guess Kstate fans only go to football games if the team is winning.

cherry picker is still a cherry picker

We disagree then, those scholarships are going to be hard to replace plus Lane Kiffin is not the best college coach there is for putting kids in the pros.

Time will tell ...... 2012 is a pipe dream Dane. It could easily take 5 years to rebuild with Lane Kiffin.

Right on. I go to Nebraska basketball games too and they aren't any good. K-state fans don't even go to football games unless the team is winning ROFL

Please don't imitate that douchebag in a sombrero, it ruins it for me :)

That is a fucking stupid way to look at this. The other schools get a shitload of money, they're a helluva lot better off because the Big 12 is saved, and you whine because Texas gets more.

That's the kind of thinking that is ruining this country.

Do you really think without divisons theres a chance KU or Mizzou actually wins the Big XII?

You obviously have no understanding of USC's football program. Besides having arguably the best coaching staff in the country, they have a rep for putting guys in the NFL.

Furthermore, there *is* no rebuild necessary. They just completed the season with a Freshman QB. They had an amazing recruiting haul. And contrary to all of the whining about Lane Kiffin, it appears that you missed the part where he was right about the Raiders (and especially, JaMarcus Russell) and he completed a pretty good first season for Tennessee.

Two years is nothing for a school like USC. Guys will be still be lining up to attend.

Oklahoma is now the only team in that conference that can compete with Texas, on the field and financially.

Tre Madden one of the top recruits in the country has already said he's still going to USC.

As usual, Roy's talking out of his ass.

Their recruits probably know chances are they wont start their freshman or sophomore years anyways.. and some will be redshirted anyways.. The only way they hurt is if a whole bunch of their juniors and seniors walk away now. Even then they are right back in two years. Three max.

Plus wouldn't the sanctions hurt USC years down the road? None of the recruits for the past few years are leaving and those years USC had one of the best recruiting classes in the country.

Heard the QB interviewed and asked if he was staying at SC. He said "I came to USC to play football and get an education at a very good school. If that means we play 13 games in a year instead of 14 them I'm going to give everything I have to win 13 games".
I do think the loss of scholarships will have an impact but not anything SC can't come back from.
One thing: USC had better keep their shit straight, if they commit more violations the NCAA will put the hammer down on them.

Thank you long horns! I hope we grab a couple teams to replace the buffanos and the shuckers.

Colorado wasn't a rivalry in any respect that I will miss. I will miss Nebraska a little bit, but not all that much. Their mascot pisses me off.

Haha. After all that, the conference is staying together?

Best possible news for KU athletics, IMO. And certainly without Colorado and Nebraska the basketball in this conference will be the strongest in the NCAA.

:spock:

http://kenpom.com/conf.php?c=B12

The only conference that was stronger last year was the ACC, and the B12 just got rid of 2 of its weakest basketball schools.

Considering USC has the best young QB in the nation (Barkley) they are going to be scary good quick.

The round robin will hurt the RPI's. It happens to us in the Valley every year.

The B12's basketball RPI will be more than fine without Nebraska and Colorado.

Damn I didn't know my Bears were such a hot ticket having to throw those scrub Huskers in buy Missouri State/Kansas State tickets.

But, but, but I thought everybody was going to Super Conferences?!

My question is to Iowa State fans. How do you guys pick up any wins in basketball or football now that Nebraska and Colorado are gone? You guys somehow managed to luck your way into Nebraska turning the ball over eight times last year, and surely you can't beat anybody else. Ouch.

LOL Why the **** is the Pac 10 taking on Colorado and no one else? It's ****ing reeruned to expand with anything less than 12 teams in order to create a conference championship game. They need to find someone.

Nope. And there wouldn't be a chance for them to win in the Pac-10 or B10 either, so I'm not understanding your point.

Utah is #12.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Well at this point, you've already taken on some baggage, may as well take on some more.

Well, Dave Matter (Columbia Tribune) put it this way...

Are you kidding? Iowa States football team is a lot better this year than it was last year. They also should have won the Kansas and Kansas State games among others easily. But they team themselves because they were learning the spread offense and also had a new defensive scheme. Its between them and Nebraska to win the north this year..

and according to Joe Schad (with what remains of his credibility), Larry Scott thought he had a deal with Texas. So if that's the case, letting in Colorado probably wasn't that big of a deal when he thought he was getting the B12 South too.

How is that any different than the last 5-10 years?

Heheh... That never gets old.

So how much money does NU owe for leaving?

And with how they left they shouldn't be cut any slack on how much.

They'll probably try to make Missouri pay it, since it's our fault.

Nither does MU and KU fans talking about Football Tradition since 2007.....

What in the world are you talking about?

Austin Arnaud was poised to be one of the Big12's better QB's last year until he got hurt. Hes healthy again and has a year down in the spread offense. Plus, this year his top 2 WR's are also healthy unlike last offseason which screwed up their receivers for the whole year last year. They have arguably the best rushing attack in the big12 and they will also have one of the better OL's this year too. The only thing I'm worried about is the LB's. They lost all three, but the three new ones are all faster and more athletic than last years. The only thing is they don't have much experience.

Fun game to play.

ok, maybe i'm the only one misunderstanding this.

there is no penalty to be paid, per se. the penalty is a withholding of a team's share of the league revenue, which is then redistributed to the other members of the league.

that's how i read the bylaws. page 14.

http://www.big12sports.com/fls/10410...B_OEM_ID=10410

anyone else?

Especially since KU is projected to finish last this year.

What does that have to do with anything? If that's the criteria, those schools should move to a smaller conference so they can win it.

The local schools are MUCH better off being in a BCS conference. You've apparently been drinking the Royals small market Kool-Aid too long.

This is a lot like last year though, everyone dogging on me for saying ISU could finish 6-6 and that they would beat Nebraska.

So now you're bitter because the local schools are landing on their feet? After NU fan celebrates moving to the Big 10 and wishes other teams the best....now that things are looking fine you're disappointed. Oh those "classiest fans in the country"......

Bill Self: "No disrespect to those schools, but (the league) got better."

I believe you also predicted that ISU would beat Missouri.

%(/

Truth (at least from his perspective).

I wish Bill would go back and coach Tulsa. He was amazing there.



IF the Big 12 does fall apart, unfortunately it will take Bill Self about one season to leave KU for OSU.
