Fact remains that big time collegiate powers like UT and OU don't go play in far away conferences. People come to them. They've both been asked to join the S.E.C. In the past as well. I don't see why you guys don't get this.

Maybe its just your loathing for KU and the desire to see them waving in the wind that is getting in the way of seeing how these things really happen.

First, I'll mention that if/when the Big 12 collapses, I'd expect KU to land in either the B1G or the ACC. So it's not "desire to see them waving" ...

If there's anyone who has tunnel vision on this, it's you.

Second, if UT and OU leave the Big 12-2-2+2, it will be to the PAC, and they likely will take a few schools with them. They would end up in a division that is much more regional than the PAC as a whole. Arizona, Arizona St., Colorado, UT, OU, oSu, Tech, Kansas all are possibilities.

Third, the ultimate thing is... the Big 12-2-2+2 is a house built on sinking sand. It might stand for 2 months, 2 years or 2 decades. But it's built on a central support beam - Texas - that is incredibly shaky and has proven it places no level of care in ensuring this conference survives.

Attempts to shore up the foundation of the league - granting of TV rights to the league long-term, etc. - were not received.

So Missouri left early because it had an opportunity from the most stable, lucrative conference rather than risk being stuck in the situation it looked like Mizzou, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and Baylor were going to face during the first round of realignment.

You mean all this time Wickedson has been spouting off about Tier 3 dollars, and the difference between KU and MU is only 3 milllion?

Wickedson made the Tier 3 sound like the Holy Grail of tv money.

I don't know what that list is. KU has around a $90 million dollar 3rd tier deal in place with IMG. I'm not sure what MU has. Do you know what it is?

But I thought regular season titles meant everything, and the tourney was nothing but a crap shoot? You beaker fans sure are confusing....

That's victorY, douche, and you rode the biggest pussy schedule in the history of football to get there.

Never ceases to amaze me how you windowlickers continue to trumpet that shit to people who know the truth.

KU is locked into a 12-year-deal for $86 million with IMG, which beaks out to about $7.2 million a year. I realize dropping the big total altogether makes it sound better (Kevin Kietzmann's specialty). It's a tremendous third-tier rights package - right now. By the end of the contract, a decade from now, it won't be as tremendous

Missouri's deal brings in a shade over $4 million currently, though I expect it will be set up a little differently moving forward.

The big payout is the eventual creation of the SEC network, which will lock up third-tier rights as well and significantly increase Mizzou's number for that margin.

Cool. Sounds like MU is doing alright in the finance department. Everyone seems happy.

On a local level I love having KU win 8STR8 titles. But I'm no fool. I know that the national perception is that the tourney decides history, not regular season Championships.

IMO the tourney is no crapshoot. KU has had many blunders in the tourney and it's not a good thing for the school.

However when you simply are there every single season in such a high ranking it's very difficult to no come up short from time to time.

One could argue that during Self's tenure that KU has come up short more than just "time to time."

I only mentioned it because KU fans seem to use both arguments whenever it suits them, and I find that humorous.
