Another problem we've got is that the Big 12 brand has been damaged. Even if, theoretically, agreements are made, all issues are fixed in legalese, we have new fresh strong leadership, and we all start holding hands singing about solidarity, the Big 12 brand is going to be snickered at for a while.

Does that matter? I'm not sure, but it probably does. When it comes time to let Texas A&M go, the powers that be should think about doing it by, with cooperation from the BCS and our TV partners, dissolving the conference, and forming a new conference. New name, new brand, new offices in OKC, etc. Its not like we're an old conference and there's a lot of sentimental value to be saved.
