The only real reason Nebraska is getting an invite is because the Big 10 is a heavy football conference and Nebraska has a big football history. Also it looks like Nebraska might be improving their football back to being big time again. If Nebraska calls the Big 12 bluff and Notre Dame joins the Big 10 or something, Nebraska is screwed and screwed hard. Other conferences that aren't as heavy duty football as the Big 10 won't place as much value in Nebraska's main calling card.

Mizzou has a broader value than that so they can probably find a BCS conference on their own because they have St. Louis. Mizzou is all about having a 2-city market ... without St. Louis they have pretty much Jack and shit with Jack getting ready to leave town.

Still ... if they haven't received a concrete invite to the Big 10 they take a significant risk by calling the Big 12 bluff. This is what the Big 12 is shooting for imo ... play the bluff and hope 1 or both of the teams would rather stay in the Big 12 than risk getting caught out in the independent wind.

just sayin'

The greater the risk, the greater the reward....usually. I say take the gamble. I'm kind of uneducated on all of this though.

The Big XII North, which you might NEVER win. Ever. Eternity. Now go tell Texas who your daddy is.

Didn't losing the next week kinda lessen that "win"?

:) Not arguing, just having fun while waiting for my frigging pool to clear out. Guy had to come shock it today.
Looks like the conference realignment is creating some real angst among some schools. I can uderstand why, I wouldn't want to be outside looking in.

Both those points have been proven incorrect.

Won't it be great when Kansas and Boise St. and claiming automatic BCS bids when Missouri and Iowa are finishing 8 and 9 in the new Big 10?

It would be so fitting.

Hope your pool gets clean. Gonna be a hot summer!

Interesting, but sounds very conflicting to me:

BCS executive director Bill Hancock was hesitant Wednesday to say the MWC, which has placed Utah and TCU in the Bowl Championship Series the last two seasons, was on course to become the seventh automatic qualifying conference.

But he did tell the conference commissioners and athletic directors gathered here this week for meetings that they should be aware of the strides the Mountain West has made toward earning an automatic bid.

If Boise State joins plus KU Kstate and Iowa State join the MWC they should turn into an automatic bid conference.

How many times do I have to repeat this? I don't want KU to go to the Big 10. Nor do I ever expect them to be asked.

Stop inventing complaints to make your argument make sense.

You sound reeruned when you do that.

just sayin

N00b calling people retarted. Not very nice, is it? Would you like it if I called you a retart or would you rather be a genius?

Also, I hate to break this to you. But Kansas does technically share the Big 12 North division title with Missouri in 2007. This wasn't Kansas' decision but the Big 12 gave them a trophy anyway.

For what reason? Sympathy? Charity? Pity?

All the speculation is really funny, and how people have run with it and realigned the whole nation before even one domino falls. Yeah, of course I'd rather see the Big 12 stay together than see KU end up in the MWC or CUSA, but until the B12 actually dissolves and KU is looking for a conference, I don't think I'll worry about it.

Hell, they could end up in the SEC. LMAO

(that last sentence was sarcasm, resident SEC guy)
