Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread - Page 356

The old one has AIDS.

Anyways, Chip Brown from Orangebloods.com reports OU may apply to the Pac-12 by the end of the month.

Oklahoma will apply for membership to the Pac-12 before the end of the month, and Oklahoma State is expected to follow suit, a source close to OU's administration told Orangebloods.com.

Even though Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said Friday the Pac-12 was not interested in expansion at this time, OU's board of regents is fed up with the instability in the Big 12, the source said.

The OU board of regents will meet within two weeks to formalize plans to apply for membership to the Pac-12, the source said.

Messages left Sunday night with OU athletic director Joe Castiglione and Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder were not immediately returned.

If OU follows through with what appears to be a unanimous sentiment on the seven-member Oklahoma board of regents to leave the Big 12, realignment in college athletics could be heating back up. OU's application would be matched by an application from Oklahoma State, the source said, even though OSU president Burns Hargis and mega-booster Boone Pickens both voiced their support for the Big 12 last Thursday.

There is differing sentiment about if the Pac-12 presidents and chancellors are ready to expand again after bringing in Colorado and Utah last year and landing $3 billion TV contracts from Fox and ESPN. Colorado president Bruce Benson told reporters last week CU would be opposed to any expansion that might bring about east and west divisions in the Pac-12.

Currently, there are north and south divisions in the Pac-12. If OU and OSU were to join, Larry Scott would have to get creative.

Scott's orginal plan last summer was to bring in Colorado, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State and put them in an eastern division with Arizona and Arizona State. The old Pac-8 schools (USC, UCLA, Cal, Stanford, Oregon, Oregon State, Washington and Washington State) were to be in the west division.

Colorado made the move in June 2010, but when Texas A&M was not on board to go west, the Big 12 came back together with the help of its television partners (ABC/ESPN and Fox).

If Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were accepted into the Pac-12, there would undoubtedly be a hope by Larry Scott that Texas would join the league. But Texas sources have indicated UT is determined to hang onto the Longhorn Network, which would not be permissible in the Pac-12 in its current form.

Texas sources continue to indicate to Orangebloods.com that if the Big 12 falls apart, the Longhorns would consider "all options."

Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe held an emergency conference call 10 days ago with league presidents excluding Oklahoma, Texas and Texas A&M and asked the other league presidents to "work on Texas" because Beebe didn't think the Pac-12 would take Oklahoma without Texas.

Now, it appears OU is willing to take its chances with the Pac-12 with or without Texas.

There seemed to be a temporary pause in any possible shifting of the college athletics' landscape when Baylor led a charge to tie up Texas A&M's move to the Southeastern Conference in legal red tape. BU refused to waive its right to sue the SEC over A&M's departure from the Big 12, and the SEC said it would not admit Texas A&M until it had been cleared of any potential lawsuits.

Baylor, Kansas and Iowa State have indicated they will not waive their right to sue the SEC.

It's unclear if an application by OU to the Pac-12 would draw the same threats of litigation against the Pac-12 from those Big 12 schools.

Stay tuned.

Just google "810 WHB" and you will get a link to streaming audio of Kietzman's streaming tears and streaming vag.

This has gone beyond funny. I am seriously worried about his mental health right now. He needs to go to grief counseling.

**Saul Good** · 10-18-2011, 02:38 PM

Not only does Kietzman think Mizzou is making a bad move by going to the SEC, he thinks the Raiders made a good trade in getting Palmer. (Seriously)

Titty Meat · 10-18-2011, 02:42 PM

**** you guys for making me tune into this shit. When I tuned in these dumbasses were trying to justify the Palmer trade.

I don't think that is what he is about. He and his radio station have made a lot of money indirectly from the Big 12 being centered right around their transmitter. Now that is changing. I think he tried everything in his tacklebox to sway public opinion against the move and couldn't do it. Maybe there is a component that is reacting because this hurts his team, but it is about money for him too.

How many times is Reetodd going to say Ballsack?

Awesome radio.

Loved every second.

You think Missouri leaving the Big 12 hurts Kansas State?

what are al these "Ballsack" references.....I must have missed something.

Of course not. Four terrible universities bailing from a conference has no effect on said conference's integrity or national perception and thus has no possible effect on K-State or any other team in the league.

The SEC has an STD. /KK (What he really said: I think Missouri has fallen in love with a girl and hasn't had her tested yet.)

Yeah, except not so much. Objectively your facilities, athletics endowment etc are going to be in line with the Mississippi schools and Vandy.

I wish you luck--because I couldn't care less who wins in the SEC--but I sure wouldn't hold my breath. No hard feelings here honestly, but it sure looks like you're just going to get paid more to fill the same conference niche that you fill in the Big 12. I'm not going sit here and claim that is a bad move but lets not act like its a game changer.

WilliamTheIrish · 10-18-2011, 02:57 PM

As long as it remains an AQ conference I'm good.

I think it could be a disaster. When looking at that conference realignment tool, I didn't see a single plausible scenario involving KSU going to a superconference. The most likely scenario involved Texas and Tech going to the B1G and KU going to the PAC with KSU. In other words, not likely at all. Short of that, it would require the B1G taking 2 Kansas teams.
