regarding conference affiliation

SEC ADs meeting tomorrow. Appears they're SEC bound.

Very interesting, I never thought the SEC was that interested in Mizzou- but I think they were quietly rebuffed by VT, needed 14 teams for scheduling purposes, and Mizzou brings two significant TV markets with them (STL and KC) to the SEC.

Will be interesting to see where Big 12 goes from here. Theoretically, they could stay at 8, but I think they backfill one, if not two spots.

Well if TCU wants in the Big 12, after today, I am not going to do anything to help Patterson and TCU. Orsini or Turner can if they want, but I will not.

Mizzou is whistlin' Dixie!!!

People keep saying TCU, but they literally add NOTHING. Texas, OU, and Tech dominate the DFW market, the B12 doesn't need TCU. If they're desperate for members then BYU, Boise, Air Force make more sense.

Have to wonder if the BE teams that were on the fence (Louisville, Cincy, WVU, etc) still think the Big 12 is that viable. Also, this would seem to close the door on any chance of UConn to the ACC. ACC is already at 14, and only way UConn was getting in was if SEC poached an ACC school.

So they toss the ball back to BEVO and the question is does he play or take it and go home?

Big 12 (-2 eh 3? ehhh 4??) is a train wreck!

I can see why the Pac 12 presidents and chancellors wanted to stay as far away as possible - it might be catching!

Keep in mind, B12 won't go back to 12 teams- Texas (and probably OU) want easiest possible path to national championship game- 2 divisions with a conf. championship is counterproductive to that.

BYU is still #1 target. I think Air Force gets some play as well. I will laugh my [deleted] off if Texas, from their high and mighty ivory tower, accepts the academic cesspool that is WVU into the Big 12. Although, from our standpoint we want the BE to be as strong as possible and then call us. Hopefully, B12 goes after (and gets) BYU and AFA

yep, they want it decided in october at the state fair.

How appropriate- the big12-3 merry-go-round.

GO PONIES!!!
