I posted a link earlier that contradicts that link. There are simply too many "sources" to clarify what exactly has happened over the last 18 months in my opinion. One thing is for sure. Larry Scott may have tried to bring additional teams to the Pac-10 and he failed. But it's time to move on. |

Its always so black and white (or is that gold?) for you MU fans. UT never wanted to leave. OU did, for whatever silly reason, OU tried to play a power move against UT. The PAC didn't want OU and OSU, they wanted OU and UT. So, UT strung the process out, and when it became clear OU wasn't going to get in on its own merits, UT told the PAC they were no longer interested. Funny how this MU fan sees all the wrong in this, but nothing about their flirtations only the year before.

Only reason Texas didn't go the PAC-12 was because ESPN threw the Longhorn Network in their lap. They had one foot out in the California sand ready to go.

For your sake, I hope you don't have a girlfriend. You could read accounts from 10 different dudes that banged her, have someone show you her diary entry talking about how great these dudes all were in bed, have her best friend say, "your girlfriend and I were in a gangbang together", and you would applaud her faithfulness. She wouldn't even have to deny that it happened. As long as she didn't come out and tell you, that would be all the proof you'd need to believe nothing happened.

Its too far into the future to accurately predict the success and/or failure of what is now taking form. What if the B12 does really well in the new format, winning a few NCs, and getting paid handsomely with fewer mouths to feed? Its not out of the realm of possibility. What if the Big 4 decide to withdraw from the NCAA and form their own basketball post season tournament? Probably not, but you never know. Too much to look that far down the line and be able to predict success or failure for any conference.

After Nebraska, Colorado, and A&M, you mean. By the time Neinas was talking about concessions, the decision to move to the SEC had been made. If Mizzou had been willing to do everything they could to hold the Big 12 together, they could have still stayed, but why should they have? By then, Neinas had already talked shit all over Mizzou, and we'd been screwed out of bowl slots numerous times. **** that noise. Enjoy the Mountaineers and TCU.

When did the media deals the Big 12 have lose value? Your departure meant nothing. The dollars prove it. Enjoy the SEC basement. |

Yes, because a voting bloc rose up against it. Scott wanted UT, it was his only chance to expand into the Central Time Zone. But, four schools were convinced that their access to California would be severely diminished, and THEN Scott, who no longer had the votes, "told" UT they were no longer interested. UT was only there as a counter move to OU, knowing full well the LHN would be a chip most of the PAC would not swallow. Sorry, I didn't know you needed crack to figure out things beyond what the official "line" is.

No question, the duo carries more water in the Big 12 than they would in the SEC or the PAC. As you say, they'd still be providing welfare no matter where they went. It might not be fun handing out goodies to Baylor or Iowa State but it's probably not fun doing so for Wash State or Utah. In my proposal, only 1/2 of the BCS schools would be in the upper division of football anyway. That would solve the welfare issue. You could do an English Premier league where you relegate dogs and promote up & comers (KSU, Vandy, etc) on an annual basis. Plus, it'd be hilarious watching Tennessee get sent down to the minors |

I'm not sure about your 3rd point. Mizzou was certainly a chip the Big 12 wanted to keep. There wasn't a school in the league that was ok watching them walk. (Dodds' comments this week bear that out). I would argue it was far different from Colorado leaving which most people didn't even notice. Mizzou is a very good school in an important state with a valued history with several legacy members.
