i have been listening and i haven't heard anything yet either. SVP is talking to Bill Self right now. Kansas is going to be screwed, unless they bolt for the Big 10, which will end up being the big 12 part deux or the big 14 or 16. This day is nuts.
She's not a fan of it, nor are her parents (Nebraskans). (For those who don't know, my wife is a UT alum.)
TX and AtM to the Big 10 and Oklahoma to the SEC? KCTV Home: Texas Hold 'Em: Longhorns, A&M To Big Ten
Hey I readily admit that it is just one statistical measure of academics. But it happens to be one of the most popular and the one that the NCAA trumpets. What is your expertise in this area? What is a better statistic? The whiny orange here in Dallas don't deal with facts but we expect more out of Tiger fans!!
aTm boards are blowing up with there scenarios. Makes me happy to know that we will be in the SEC, just a matter of who else comes in, possibly. But it has to suck not knowing if you will be in the Pac whatever, or the Big Ten, or the SEC, or some version of the Big 12. The overall sentiment on their board seems to be VERY PRO SEC.
No, probably not for the next two seasons. I would think 2012 earliest to affect more than a game here or there. This season is set in stone for all programs.
This was posted on Orangebloods.com: Orangebloods.com - CU is first to commit to Pac-10, UT, A&M, others will follow The only potential stumbling point for the six Big 12 schools to move west was if Texas A&M's heart was in it. The Aggies have been talking to the Southeastern Conference. Gene Stallings, who won a national title as coach at Alabama, is a regent at Texas A&M who has been VERY active in all the talks involving the Aggies and where they could land if the Big 12 fell apart. Orangebloods.com has been told by sources that Gov. Rick Perry would encourage his alma mater to go where Texas goes to keep harmony in the Texas Legislature. There is a state-run, multi-billion dollar mineral rights endowment for both Texas and Texas A&M called the Permanent University Fund, which was threatened by lawmakers the last time realignment happened (when the Big 12 was formed) if the two schools split up. One thing that should be reassuring to Texas A&M is that in a move to the Pac-10 Texas all but loses its chance to start its own TV network. That was a point of contention for A&M, which has an athletic department $16 million in debt and had to borrow that money from the school's general fund to pay it off. That became a big rift at A&M between the administration and athletics department and may have contributed to the forced resignation of A&M president Elsa Murano, who wanted the athletic department to be more diligent in paying the loan back. A&M was not excited about having Texas, with $125 million in revenue and its coffers overflowing, starting a TV network and adding yet another revenue stream that A&M couldn't match. But with all schools on an equal revenue playing field in the Pac-16 (or whatever we're going to call this league), A&M's worries probably subside. This is a very entertaining offseason
