Nobody cares about long commutes in the non con, but when its a conference game: OH MY GOODNESS!
Big XVI Northeast Quad: Iowa St Cincinnati Missouri West Virginia Northwest Quad: Air Force Kansas Kansas St BYU Southwest Quad: Texas Texas Tech Baylor TCU Southeast Quad: Oklahoma Oklahoma St South Florida Louisville Football would have a "rotating divisional" format: Year 1 West/East Alignment: Northwest/Southwest vs Northeast/Southeast Year 2 North/South Alignment Northwest/Northeast vs Southwest/Southeast Year 3 Cross-compass Alignment Northwest/Southeast vs Northeast/Southwest Teams play all teams in their alignment = 7 conference games Teams play one permanent rivalry or rotated inter-alignment game = 8 games Optional rotated inter-alignment game depending on how many non conference games the conference wants = 9 games Champions from each "division" play each other in championship game. Basketball could follow the same format, home and away "in division" for 14 games; and half home half away against opposite division for a total of 22 conference games. Could hold the first two rounds at separate sites on Tue/Wed, a travel day Thr, and the Final Four in KC on Fri/Sat.

There have been a couple of tweets today saying Deaton has resigned as president of the Big 12, but Gabe DeArmond just answered a tweet about it saying he has not heard anything about it.

Matter just weighed in and he's my guy on this stuff (I trust him more than the rest).
He says that the XII has stated that he hasn't resigned as the Chairman only because he never was the chairman, rather just 1 of 5 guys on the committee. Folks - that's significant. That's the XII playing a semantics game in response to a pretty damn straightforward inquiry. Does the man had the title he have yesterday or not? Because he had a title when he had that presser a week ago. I refuse to get my hopes up, absolutely refuse.

They aren't.
There are way WAY too many things that would have to fall into place, most of which are very much opposite of the character of the parties involved, for me to believe this will actually happen. But if it does, I'm convinced it's because Gary Pinkel's open frustration has the fanbase riled up and the BOC has taken notice. Like I said when I first heard him say it a month or so ago - Gary Pinkel is not one to launch shots across the bow. If he's saying this, he's very VERY angry about it. And Pinkel holds a hell of a lot of sway right now.

He said the shape the conference is in is 'embarrassing'. He's said several times something like we have "a great league but there are serious problems with it and everyone knows where those problems are coming from". He's bemoaned the fact that the conference doesn't appear likely to address said 'problems' and commented that it will never stabilize if it doesn't.
Pinkel's flat out calling out Texas and saying that the conference is doomed to instability. His tone of voice in these interviews is that of outward irritation. He's doing everything but say "Fix it or GTFO". It's been really surprising to hear.
