Wickedson can't see anything that isn't right in front of his face. The shifting NCAA landscape is going to hit you like freight train.

Of course you are a front runner so you will just act like you aren't into sports as much. You pretty much have already laid the groundwork for that bitch move.

I'm ready for A&M to shit already or get off the pot.

If the Big 12 is successful in convincing Notre Dame (very unlikely IMO) or BYU (probable?) to replace A&M as the 10th member, I think the Big 12 could stick around for a bit. If ND is the 10th member, then I think that completely turns the tables on conference expansion, and makes the Big 12 a net consolidator in the superconference process.

If the Big 12 has to add a team like SMU or Houston as its 10th member, then the conference is toast and every program will be working behind the scenes to get into a new conference.

It's hilarious watching the Nubs try and act all high and mighty; you guys loved the unequal system up until you were passed up by UT and OU, then you ran for the sweet comfort of Big Ten's shared system.

Hell, if you stayed in the Big 12, we would be seeing Corncob TV start up this season alongside the Longhorn Network.

We were not passed by. Huskers were light years ahead of the rest of the Big12 when it was formed. & the rest of the schools voted in ways that reeled the Huskers back in.

Jesus you are hilariously clueless.

Yeah - such as wanting to allow partial qualifiers to play when the Big XII wanted to improve it's academic reputation. That is the vote that really began the Nebraska butthurt.

They never want to talk about that aspect.

Ya partial qualifiers was a 11-1 vote. & the biggest set back for Nebraska
Keeping the Big12 championship game in Dallas was an 11-1 vote.



Then there were the 11-1 votes, with Nebraska in the minority, on having a football championship game and on initial eligibility standards.

Texas had threatened to leave if the eligibility vote didn't go its way. The night the votes were final, I was about to leave the office for our sports department Christmas party when the news broke.

So I sat back down for a long night of phone calls. But Joan Leitzel, NU's interim chancellor at the time, made it worthwhile.

When I asked if Nebraska would bolt from the Big 12 after losing that vote, she strongly replied: “We won't play it that way. Nebraska has been a strong builder of the Big 12.''

But things change

Partial qualifiers and steroids.

Yeah how terrible to vote against partial qualifiers, even though the conference you just joined has never allowed partial qualifiers. Good point.

You mean voting to share the championship game with Dallas and KC? That really caused enough butthurt to move conferences? Why would the Nubs care - don't you have the best fans in the world?

What about unequal revenue sharing? Did Nebraska ever vote against that?

This was my point asshat/ Texas had threatened to leave if the eligibility vote didn't go its way.

The only thing I will say is you can completely count Notre Dame out, at least in football. They have their own network, and why would Texas want to be number 2 in their own conference?
