You are right on the Final Fours. Louisville would be a great basketball addition. Turning the Big 12 into a new version of the Big East that focuses more on basketball would be an ideal outcome for ku. |

Louisville has been to like one Final Four in the last 25 years. Certainly brings a big name coach and a great basketball facility with them though.

There are only a couple of MU fans who seem to care much, and most of that is rooted in the "Hahaha like the SEC would ever want you" from before, or things that are just silly like the assertion that the big 12 is stable or the money is better.
Everyone knows that anybody with a chute would be using it if we are honest. It's just the 11th hour for MU/KU as conference foes so people are getting their barbs in. I won't miss the big 12. I will miss the frequent games with KU, but there will be new rivals and new people to hate. I am confident the football game and a basketball game will happen. It will be played like Clemson and South Carolina every year, out of conference rivals that schedule each other because the money is so good. Despite what butthurt coaches might say, the money is big and the school will make the coach do the right thing for his institution instead of his ego. The basketball game will just be once a year, but eh. I don't think it will change things that much. This is an important milestone in the demise of the Big IIX, but between Missouri and Kansas things won't change that much. And that is the only good thing about the Big IIX anyway. |

I think that article was interesting. If things were that tense before I'd love to see how tense they are now. Think of all the stuff Texas has done since then, especially since now even OU and OSU feel like Texas was trying to screw them over.

UT, OU, OSU would want out of that non-football conference in a hurry wouldn't they?

I would guess the remaining schools understand they have no better options and are just learning to live with it.

I did. Despite it's super annoying format, the fans are comedy gold.

so the Pac10 was wanting to take 7 Big 12 teams? Let the speculation begin...
