Its moving very quickly towards Super Conferences (4-6) and the next two years will be interesting to see how it all ends up. The movement on all fronts by SMU officials is very proactive and will be what makes SMU a strong early candidate for a BCS position in a Super Conference.

The mouthpiece of DeLoss Dodds speaks!

"It depends who's available," one Big 12 administrator said today.

one Big 12 administrator = DeLoss

One source close to the situation said, "That would mean turning off the Longhorn Network almost before it got started. I'm not sure if that's Texas' style."

One source close to the situation = DeLoss

In fact, I was told by a source with intimate knowledge of the situation the SEC will not take Missouri because the SEC doesn't want to be responsible for the collapse of the Big 12.

a source with intimate knowledge of the situation = DeLoss

Seriously, this guy is such a d.b. Has he ever quoted anyone without it being an anonymous source? Has he accurately reported anything to this point? This guy's information is about as useful as a post on Bleacher Report. (Although, I honestly think A&M was set to make their move on Tuesday, but decided to wait a day just so his report would be wrong)

What's weird is the talk about Pitt/Louisville. Big East football isn't very strong. Add TCU and lose two?

dude from the AAS says he thinks Texas, OU, OSU & Tech will head to the PAC 12.

If the Texas and Oklahoma schools move to a different conference, would the BSC consider a conference made up of the Big XII-II-I-IV leftovers + some new schools? Would there be a place for a new conference with Baylor, Mizzou, the Kansas schools and Iowa State and additions from non AQ confernces? IF so would that conference be as appealing to TV audiences as CUSA?

Or could CUSA invite some key members (Mizzou, K State, KU +/- Baylor) and have a super conference of its own?

As others have suggested, might it be time to position CUSA to be super conference with some strong state schools from previously traditional big conferences?

My question is whether a depleted and repopulated big-xii keeps BCS status vs. whether an augmented C-USA could gain that status?

Good questions- I wonder if BB has even approached anybody- NCAA-BCS- on the possibilities of CUSA becoming AQ with some addl schools.

GO PONIES!!!

One of the great unknowns at this time. I have faith that Orsini is on top of it and working to increase our chances of BSC status regardless of a depleted Big XII-II-I-IV or a pumped up on steroids CUSA.

i heard like RGV. A buddy who is ut alum in austin hears word that pac 12 talks on again. Go Ponies!

Why on Earth would they add Pitt? Adding schools thousands of miles away does nothing to ensure long-term viability. I think Texas wants to make it look like they are trying to save the Big 12, but in reality, they are not.

by **redpony** » Thu Sep 01, 2011 11:39 am

The addition of a Pitt, Louisville or Memphis only supports the thought that the whorens will be gone in a short amount of time and have no commitment to the b12-3.

GO PONIES!!!

Yes, UT, TT, OU and Okie St to the Pac 12 is alive and kicking. Norm reported earlier that a writer at the Statesmen says the conference is aggressively pursuing the four Big XII schools, and wanting to get it done soon.
