If true, great for them. Hope the Big XII stabilizes after this.

Well I kinda of hope the Big East decides to consolidate with a Southern Division or we are kinda stuck out in the wilderness. Not really seeing that indication yet but that's what needs to happen

Wonder who the second school is? BYU? Man, that hurts. If UT didn't want one metroplex school, they sure aren't going to want two from the metroplex. vomit.

i guess we'll always have 40-33. Don't erase your Tivos boys. Too bad Turner waited 10 years too long to wake up and get us competitive. Hard work nothing, it took us too long to do the littlest things that should have been no brainers.

this was obviously coming down the pike in my view, but it still stings. Really exposes us and has a feeling of finality.
