So what would happen to Mizzou in this scenario?

They stay in the B12.

The B12 only breaks down if two teams go to the B10.

If only one goes, they'll just invite a team to play in the B12. Texas ain't moving unless they absolutely have to.

Watching all these Jayhawk fans sweat this thing out has been quite a treat. The nervous, desperate posts; the mental gymnastics. Priceless.

That being said, the prospect of Kansas landing in the Mountain West conjures conflicting emotions. Strangely enough, I think that I would feel bad... I've really enjoyed the rivalry and it would be sad for it to completely dissolve.

It's been equally entertaining on this end, watching Mizzou fans who normally make it well known that they're jumping on their high horse and heading to the high road at any sign of adversity join in the mudslinging, even though nothing has actually happened, and if it does, it'll have nothing to do with anything Mizzou did besides sign on the dotted line. It's quite a confusing complex some have with these rivalries.

Try what? I'm trying to have a decent conversation. There is enough idiots on both sides throwing out stupid shit that I thought this was interesting to know what Mizzou fans think about it.

It's about 2,400 posts of rival fans hammering on each other, and about 30 posts of Big 10 expansion.

Have we moved onto basketball yet?

No?

Sorry to bother you. (backs out slowly)

Heh, true.

Christ this thread is idiotic.

Have we considered inviting Notre Dame into the Big XII so that they could get a piece of the enormous basketball pie?

Why isn't anyone talking about what this does to college golf? It's COLLEGE GOLF for Godsakes!!!

Chancellor meets with members of KU athletic department

Gray-Little emphasizes efforts being made to keep Big 12 together

By Matt Tait

Kansas University Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little met with athletic department officials Tuesday afternoon for what university spokesperson Lynn Bretz deemed a “show of support.”

The meeting, which lasted about 15 minutes, was called to assure that everyone at the school was on the same page regarding the latest challenge facing the university.

“The Chancellor wanted to stop by to express support of the staff of Kansas Athletics,” Bretz said. “She talked to them about topical things like the Big 12 realignment concerns and all that, and she acknowledges that it’s been a challenging year for the Kansas Athletics staff and that it was unfortunate that a very small number of people’s actions had harmed the reputation of an entire department.”

Bretz continued: “Their work has been very successful this year and (Gray-Little) just wanted them to know that she appreciated them and that they did not go unnoticed.”

KU athletic director Lew Perkins did not attend the meeting but associate atheltic director Jim Marchiony, who was in the room, said Perkins had planned to attend.

“He was supposed to be there but he got called away at the last minute and didn’t make it back before the meeting ended,” Marchiony said.

When asked what came up that drew Perkins away, Marchiony responded with: “He’s dealing with a lot of things right now, not the least of which is Big 12 realignment. But I know he had planned to be there.”

The meeting, no matter how minor, illustrates just how great the task at hand is for KU officials. While the rumor mill continues to crank on a daily basis, Kansas administrators constantly have been asked to address the future of the Big 12, with expansion threats involving both the Big Ten and Pac-10 looming.

“She reassured them that she was doing everything she could to help keep (the Big 12) together,” Bretz said. “She said that she supported Lew’s efforts to keep the Big 12 together and that she knew he was well-known for his knowledge and experience and connections and all of these were being put to good use right now.”

Bretz said Perkins and Gray-Little met briefly after the meeting so that she could fill him in on what was discussed.

I think Perkins' days are numbered.

They are probably going to go independent in basketball too, since they have the juice to do that. Probably make way more money that way anyway. Who needs conferences.
