The bottom line is that the Big XII was a joke the minute it was constructed because all of the Big XIII teams sold themselves to the economic behemoth of Texas, when this never needed to happen. Ultimately, the Big XII, with all of its original members, will be looked upon as a "what if," and the university presidents have only themselves to blame. |

Pretty much, though OSU complicates things a bit for OU. But without TX, the Big XII is essentially the Big East.

It's all about your football program.
OSU's program would be a credit to any conference. They would have options just like OU and UT would. Otherwise yes you have the Big East. |

We really like that t-shirt, but we aren't going to marry you just to get it back. If we ask for it back again, we still aren't going to marry you, but we're open to the idea of you swinging by and dropping it off whenever. Other than that, we're done here. Can't we just admit what this was?

Kansas has no use for an association with MU. I don't understand why you guys don't get this. MU decided that the best decision to make moving forward was to not be associated with KU in a conference. Everyone will be fine moving forward. If you want to call KU names on the way out it's fine with all of us. No one from KU cares. It just makes you look small from what I can tell. |

“KU-Missouri is a great rivalry," KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said in a statement. "The University of Kansas is a great Midwestern school, loyal to our Midwestern conference and to our Midwestern roots. “The KU-Missouri rivalry belongs in the Big 12 Conference. Should Missouri decide to leave the Big 12, we would wish them well.” |

The fans stayed away on purpose this year to show their contempt for the hiring of Turner Gill and the two years of garbage he put them through.
And you know what? It worked. Thank God too, many of us were shitting bricks when KU was beating you at halftime. |

KU's probably still spending all the money the Hall Foundation has given them. I don't think they're too concerned with a $30 million donation. A nice amount no doubt, but would be nothing spectacular when it comes to the history of KU donations.

The amount is irrelevant. The fact that it came from a group in Kansas City, a town KU swears they own and is loaded with KU alumni while KU got nothing speaks volumes.

I'm not sure you understand what the point of being a college fan is. You want to win titles and maybe see money roll in for recruiting, facilities, etc. Most of the schools in the Big 12 have all experienced this during the history of the conference. I'm not sure what else you want. Go ask K State Football. They love kicking UT's ass every year when they outspend everyone else by so much. Go ask KU Basketball, they love kicking UT's ass every year when they outspend everyone else by so much. Plus Austin is a great town. I'm sorry you feel so hostile about this whole situation. If leaving the conference makes you feel better than great, we're happy for you. But we're tired of hearing you day after day harp on UT and how they are the conference and blah blah blah, everyone has heard you. Message received. |
