Or so says a Waco based economist saying Texas will lose over 700 million and 5,700 jobs if lil ole Baylor is separated from the Big 3 in Texas. Tough to keep a straight face, personally. Where is SMU's economics department and why are they not churning out Gospel like this?

yeah, just think how much it sucked when a Dallas school was left out.

Seriously what are they smoking down there in Waco?

The Texas economy will expand by 57,000 jobs and $1.2 billion if SMU gets in the new Big 12

I spoke with some waco jedi this morning and they say there is little justification of the numbers used in the above story. But they are sad if they get left on the street like SMU after the SWC.

How is the Stock Market handling this News? Hope the Asian Markets don't panic and cause Greece to default.

The plural for "Jedi" is "Jedi."

I think a couple are there doing a study on the Branch Dividian incident a couple of decades ago. Remember, we're a pretty cerebral bunch.

Actually that was Jedi possessive not plural.
