Rumor from Shaggybevo stating that aTm's admission comes only with the agreement that remaining BigXII members waive the right to sue the SEC.

Lawyer the **** up. Ken Starr to the rescue.

ISU is easily the least desireable team in the conference. They have no football, no basketball, marginal academics, come from a state with no population, and they are the "other" team in said state.

It would make more sense for the Big East to grab Memphis than ISU. That said, Big East is likely last on Mizzou's wish list. If Mizzou goes anywhere else, where do you think ISU lands?

Especially if WVU leaves the conference.

I think of the Big East scenario as the old "if a tree falls in the forest..." saying.

If Mizzou wins 10 games a year in the Big East and no one bothers to watch or care, does it really happen?



I'd much rather join the big boy conference of the SEC and fight to win 8 games, then join the scrub conference no one in the country cares about. We could join the MIAA and win the division every year if that's all that mattered.

Baylor is cut from the same cloth as UT.

You know this isn't all the fault of UT. There were always THREE university AD/UP's who allowed the unequal revenue sharing to take place. The rest of us had no say.

And those two most butthurt universities are the ones who have left or want out now.

Ya but no one has a cool gif of Cy committing suicide.

I see two endgames for ISU. They go independent and pretty much die. They form a new Big 8 with the castoffs from the old Big 8 and the old SWC.

Big 10
SEC
Pac 12
Big East

I don't want MU to have to beg to get into the Big 10, or accept automatic second-class citizenship status, which I'm afraid is what will happen. I think that relationship was irreparably damaged by the bullshit that happened last year.

If they wanted us, they'd have us - instead they took the Wastelanders. **** 'em.

Maybe they should call it the Midling 8 though.

I am assuming the University of Missouri doesn't have the same victim mentality that Frazod does and wouldn't cut off its noes to spite its face if a spot in Big 10 became realistic.

Funny how everybody can be civil in this thread until your **** ass shows up. I'm sure that's just a coincidence, right?

Perhaps you're happy being the loser chasing after the hot girl who just wants to be your friend (I assume you're quite well versed in this concept), but I'd just as soon move on.

Thanks for playing, though.

Bracing for the always-biting "you're a photographer" slam.
