Wouldn't that deal the Big 12 got now be void?

I doubt it, not as long as the Big 12 gets another comparable school to replace A&M.

Try not to salivate so much at the misfortune of the Big 12. seriously ... wipe the drool off your chin.

Makes sense.

:rolleyes: It was a serious question dumbass.

I was wondering something along the same lines; does this constitute a dilution of the agreement such that material terms have changed? Of course it all comes down to the verbiage in that contract.

whatever ... we can almost feel you jumping up and down at your keyboard like a happy puppy, every time you think something is going to go wrong for the Big 12.

There is nothing more cornhusker nation wants than to say that "The Big 12 died because we left". Nebraska fans have always been insufferable football snobs who can barely keep the condescension out of your voices when talking <strike>down</strike> to the rest of the Big 12.

It would if there were an inkling he were a Hawkjeye prior to 09.

I guess we can take our split of the aggie $ and be pretty wealthy in the MWC.

Kinda agree,

It would be so much worse though if Nebraska actually won.

I don't give a shit about the Big 12 it's just fun to troll people like you. "The Pac 10 plane is hea!"

exactly. nothing. I get it, they got their fancy boy contract. but I'm glad they didn't join the big 10 cause I frigging hate them! I grew up in Michigan and still root for blue. the only team I really hate is notre lame. I respect OH St and love the rivalry, but when I see ND on tv all the damn time...they can be 0-5 and still be the primo game. **** that! kiss my ass.

and to top it off I bet there ain't 3 catholics on the whole damn team.

good riddance weis.
go chiefs and go blue.

game #2 - first night game in the big house. ND - you're gonna get your ****ing teeth kicked in.

Who will be the other team going to SEC? NC State? MU?

it's looking like it

Probably VaTech.

Though there are still some folks that say MU controls their own destiny in that regard.

Whatever happens, I'm sure Alden will **** it up.

Missouri has strong regional ties to the Big 12 and rivalries that would die, but money and exposure are the currency in today's game. And that's what the SEC has in spades.

Aug 29, 2011 - The Southeastern Conference is likely to raid the Big 12 for its next candidate for expansion. That much seems certain since Texas A&M filed its papers to move late last week, and the move has been publicly telegraphed and analyzed for weeks by mainstream media. But with the expansion to 13 teams for the power conference, will the SEC possibly look for a 14th member to keep things even? And if so, will they be interested in another Big 12 member like the Missouri Tigers to bolster the conference?

Certainly for Missouri, the allure of the SEC would provide multiple benefits. The suspicious cloud that now hangs over the basketball program after several fruitful years under now-Arkansas coach Mike Anderson thanks for Miami hire Frank Haith could disappear with the strengthened conference ties. Even if they must go through the hoops of dispelling allegations or ultimately firing Haith, the buzz that would come from the move could bolster the team's recruiting base and media coverage.

The biggest gain, however, would come from the football side of things, where the Tigers would undoubtedly play tougher competition but would be able to compete at the highest of collegiate levels. They'd also be able to recruit players with the lure of playing multiple nationally televised games each week. While the Big 12 certainly has powerful media members like Oklahoma and Texas among others, it cannot rival the SEC or even come close at this point.

Simply put, the gravitational pull of the SEC is nearly impossible to resist at this stage, so the assumption is that if the conference is interested in a team -- Mizzou, Virginia Tech, others -- then that team will nod in agreement. Missouri has strong regional ties to the Big 12 and rivalries that would die, but money and exposure are the currency in today's game. And that's what the SEC has in spades.

After the "MU to B10" debacle I wouldn't blame Mizzou if they played the "Missouri to SEC" talk down unless/until it was a sure thing.

As a lifelong Missouri fan I am absolutely conditioned to believe that anything good that could possibly happen to this program...won't.

There is no way, absolutely no way at all, that MU ends up in the SEC. They'll end up hemming and hawing and they'll end up going down with the ship in the B12 due to lack of competent leadership.

And when the music stops, we'll end up in some mediocre conference and the college sports universe will wonder how the hell it happened.

As a Mizzou fan, I'll know the answer: We're the University of Missouri - that's just how it works 'round here.

I hope MU doesn't go SEC, I'd like to see them come to B10 if we need another team. Why the hell would you want to align with the southern teams?

Slavers would fit right in, are you kidding me?

?

I'd rather go to the B1G as well - we'd actually win stuff there.

But you can't risk ending up without a chair when the dust settles. Unless the B1G comes calling today, they'd need to take an offer from the SEC the moment it's made.

But like I said - they won't.

Might as well buy my 2014 Conference USA Champions shirt now.

He's making a Missouri Compromise joke.

Considering the amount of disrespect heaped upon us last year, under no circumstance do I want us to go to the Big 10 now. No way should we allow ourselves to be the "team to be named later" after that assbag Delany spurned us for the wastelanders.

In all honesty, I think Missouri is by far the safest school among the remaining members of what used to be the B12 North.

BTW, I celebrated August 21st with a wonderful meal of blackened chicken. :)

Board of Directors Chairman and University of Missouri Chancellor Brady Deaton: "The chancellors and presidents of the Big 12 are committed to keeping our conference competitively and academically strong. We have a process in place that enables us to move aggressively regarding the possible expansion of the conference and to assure our members and student-athletes that we will take advantage of the most productive opportunities in the best interests of all."

Commissioner Dan Beebe: "Texas A&M president R. Bowen Loftin has notified the Conference of his decision to withdraw the university from the Big 12 effective June 30, 2012. The presidents and chancellors of the nine remaining member institutions are steadfast in their commitment to the Big 12. As previously stated, the Conference will move forward aggressively exploring its membership options."

Sounds like Missouri is staying to me.

More likely Deaton will **** it up. I don't think he can flirt with another conference while he's standing Chairman of the Big 12.

ROFL

So based on your CoMo-like track record, Mizzou is leaving the Big 12.

i don't know what's going to happen to KU.

If the Big 12 does implode i think KU will be lucky to end up in the Big East.

I think if the four 16-school-superconferences happen, KU will end up in one of them.

We're not that attractive of an option, but I'm sure we're somewhere in the top 64. Who knows though.

Yea, same goes for me. I think even Mizzou's preference is the B10, not only because of schools they would play against and that region of the country, but because of academics as well. I say they stay put in the new B12 (if they are able to salvage anything here from ATM's split) or they eventually go to the B10.
That being said, if the SEC calls and it is apparent the B12 is dead and the B10 doesn't return the phone call Mizzou will head to the SEC rather than be left out.
Overall, Mizzou is a big enough institution, market, with a growing football program and a decent bball program (we will see where this Haith ordeal goes though) to where I am not worried about us getting left in the dust with all of this conference realignment.

Insert 10 paragraph explanation from HolyHandGrenade how KU will end up in the Pac-16 or Big-10.

A lot of my worry comes from that fact that the Admin doesn't seem to be all that concerned with it.

I think KU will be fine as well. Everyone knows the football program is struggling, but the Bball program is elite and I cannot see a blue blood program like that not landing in a BCS program. Look at Duke, KU's football program is better than Duke's and they are in the ACC.
It may not be the best geographical fit, but I think they will manage out okay. I just hope it doesn't effect the rivalry game between Mizzou and that it is somehow salvaged regardless of what conferences each school are in.

Yeah, Laz, but you don't know that. It's all politics. Do you really expect them to come out and tell you exactly what their plan is? A lot of it is really not even under their control anyway.

All KU has to do is find 5 'homeless' schools that they're more attractive than.

Your candidates:

Texas Tech, OSU, Baylor, Iowa State, Louisville, Cincinnati, KSU, Southern Florida and BYU.

UT has no particular affinity for TT, and tech is a shithole, so that's 1 for KU. Iowa State is 2. KSU is very likely 3, Southern Florida makes 4 and I'd rather be KU than Baylor right now.

KU would probably land in the PAC-10 in the event of the 4 superconferences.

MU, despite having all the advantages in the world here, will still somehow end up in the Missouri Valley.

I have absolutely zero faith in these clowns...

You're correct, i don't. That's why i said "seem" ...

I would think having KU be academically and athletically high enough to be in demand by major conferences would be a major priority. Not because i think football IS the school but because i would think keeping the profile up at a national level is a priority for enrollment etc.

How do you suggest they do that?

From some article:

A&M vs the SEC all time: 58-78-6 (.426 winning percentage)

Nebraska vs Big Ten all time: 79-68-9 (.537 winning percentage)

And just think, for many years Texas A&M was a pretty good football team.

They've made some headlines now for leaving hope they're reading for some losing.

Way above my pay grade, dude. LMAO

my sis works there and it just doesn't "seem" like it's a priority. I would think that they would have a list of criteria and go after stuff that would bring the school up in those areas.

ROFL I'm with you man, being a Mizzou fan we always see the way they can screw things up....it's a curse.

Oh, yes.

And they've just unlocked Texas recruiting for the rest of the SEC.

They dun goofed.

We're gonna win the Legends :)

It's time for Texas to step-up and prove their penis size. They walk around like they are the biggest,baddest mofos on the planet so let's see them prove it by bringing in Notre Dame to the Big 12.

I'm secretly a KU football fan.

That simply will not happen

No, if it did, A&M wouldn't be leaving because they'd be on the hook for a billion dollars.

Laz will cry about it too.

Has anyone heard how Hamas' Jenkins & family is doing?
I believe his wife was pregnant with twins & was having issues with the pregnancy.

BYU offered a statement tonight. They said they didn't want to make a statement about potentially joining the Big12 and cause any distractions.

Or Deaton knows enough not to tip his cards.

BYU to the 12. Vtech to the SEC. Pitt also joins the Big12. ACC plucks up some BigE schools. ND then also joins the Big12.

FYP

ROFL

Right, thanks. Like I said earlier, after the B10 thing I'm guessing Mizzou plays this one close to the vest.

You guys are just stuck on the ND thing.

Well, that's a given.

look at Brock, nuthugging with a cornhusker.

which one of you two is the 'catcher'?


:D

Sounds like there may be some interest there from BYU.

I love having Matter as a beat writer.

Here's how I read Alden comment on #Mizzou brand: It's a message to fans: "If they make last call at Big 12 bar, someone will take us home"

You don't need a catcher for the Dutch Rudder. Only a tillerman.

This sounds pretty stupid.

Um....your mom?

Notre Dame is not joining a football conference. They make too much on their own and cannot craft their own schedule to have their toughest games sandwiched around twinkies as they have always done.

They also already have their own network, otherwise known as NBC.

Anybody ignoring Oklahoma's silence on the "We <3 Big 12!" press release front today isn't paying enough attention.

http://www.statesman.com/sports/long...=rss_longhorns

it's amazing they went through all that nonsense the first time to save a conference that was still only months from falling apart....


jesus, I hate the Big East...but I don't really see a landing spot that makes good sense for KU....

expect the Pac-12 to focus on Kansas and Missouri along with OU and OSU

I would be just fine with that!!!!

The big question in all of this is if ku is really tied to KSU, OU is tied to OSU, and TX is tied to Tech or Baylor.

If not, then the Pac-12 would definitely prefer a TX, OU, MU, KU addition. But if TX and OU have to bring little brother along, then that complicates things.

I think that is where KU ends up. The Big East.

Bow down to your new basketball conference overlord NCAA. JFC. :eek:

Missouri isn't going to the PAC no matter how much HH drones on about it in this thread.

OU+OSU+Tech do I bet.

Oh man, can't wait for another couple of months of "ANCHOR!!!!!!111"

yeah, would be great bball...but the travel seems crazy...more tv exposure though...might actually help KU recruit the east coast...whatever, i've got nothing to do with it

As far as KU/KSU go, I don't think they are "tied" to each other. I'd believe that both schools, and the state, would prefer that they remain in the same conference, but if it comes down to one or the other going to a larger conference without the other - they won't stand in the way.

As far as the Big 12 goes, it was only a matter of time before the conference was no more. It was doomed from the moment the "expansion" talks started.

I know that shit is prevalent on phog.net - which seems to house the biggest collection of whiny bitches I've ever seen - but was it here on CP as well? I really didn't pay attention to it the last time.

Yea travel wise if KU moves there really is no conference where it won't be...holy shit this travel is crazy. B12 is the only major conference where it isn't nutty.

That's what really sucks for fans of teams in flyover states.

And the student athletes and the coaches.

KC gets completely fucked in realignment. We will be on the edge in any other conference, and never again host a basketball tournament or football championship unless it is something like the Mo Valley.
