Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread - Page 557

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.

Small wonder the SEC found us so appealing, then...

I don't blame them, but it is funny seeing them talk about this or that state being worse.

I stayed in the area where I was stationed when I got out of the Navy. The reason it's Illinois is because it was the closest thing they had to Missouri.

I'm just a few hours away, big guy.

**Saul Good** · 01-25-2012, 05:01 PM

I'm about a par 5 from Missouri, myself. It's a suburb of Missouri which is close enough for me. JoCo is Missouri's hat.

lol, are you serious?

I knew Frazod lives in the JV New York but I thought SG was MO through and through.

Where does he live?

The Kansas side of KC is Kansas City's Canada. It's population huddles up against our border and leeches off our city.

Side note: I will say the same thing about West County St. Louis. But that's a debate best saved for the DC board.

That part of New Jersey is a suburb of NYC much the way JoCo is a suburb of KC.

You chose to live in Kansas. Case closed.

There are people living in California who are a par 5 from Mexico. There are people living in Austria who are a par 5 from Hungary.

You made your choice and I can't blame you for it. You're like those immigrants who complain about America saying how much their shithole of a country is better while they chose to make their life here, though. That makes me laugh too.

I don't know what makes me chuckle more. Saul's hypocrisy regarding where he lives or the website he chooses to get his collegiate sports earnings from.

Your logic is reeruned. I live in a suburb of Missouri that happens to be west of state line road. I wanted to live in a suburb of KC, and I do.

I got it from the Kansas Athletics press release, dipshit. You didn't even read the article you posted.

You're right. We didn't get the scoreboard in additional to the $86 million.

DAMN!

I actually turned down an opportunity to move to New York a few years ago. Not a fan of big cities in general, but as cities go, Chicago's not that bad. Better than the filthy overcrowded pisshole you live in.
