Report: Big 12 has West Virginia lined up to replace Mizzou

[ponydawg]

for enough money and power, anything is possible.

another thing to think of, if UT's final mission is to go Indy once the LHN is completely legit, they probably don't want the Big 12 to powerful or to stabile so they can leave it behind.

I never predicted anything about ND-I posted an article that said ND was reviewing its options for its non-football programs -one of which was the Big 12-one of which presumably was to band together with Big East private basketball schools. That's news-not a prediction. But in this deal Big 12 holds all the cards. Despite what some "insiders" suggest-ALL Big East football teams teams will jump on the first offer of a ride out of town whether it comes from the Big 12 or ACC

Just like the attendence argument...

Who gives a shti....?

Let them go after 27 months...

BIG 12 will not take rutgers/uconn...in fact big 12 has no desire to go over 10...

Call the bluff...Either way we will be in a bCS conference in 2013-2016...

Fine with me...

If WVU joins the Big XII, does the couch burning replace the Aggie bonfire?

will make a totem pole of couches

[LHS81]

with or without people passed out on the couch totem pole.

If WVU leaves do we still go? I think if Boise, AF, and Hou are in we should...

Yes. Even with Louisville and WVU gone, I believe it is a better league

Agreed. Plus, Boise is the key to the BCS status, and UH has nearly as many points toward AQ status as WVU anyway. But we just need to land where Boise lands. Not to mention the tv revenue alone would make it worth it.

If it blows up in a few years, it blows up. Even if we end up back on the outside, we're just back where we are right now with $40 mil of extra revenue in the bank.

[smupony94]

Depends on if they win or lose

[NickSMU17]

We all have wanted to get rid of a lot of dead weight. This is how you do it and make $ in the process...

Big 12 can take every team they want from Big East in 27 months...

They backfill with best on Conf USA and MWC...

Create 16 team super conference, sign with fox TV, let Fox go after ESPN guns blazing, and that will get 5 AQ spot...

[LHS81]

Shhh! I heard from a friend, who knows a friend, who talked to a friend's dad, whose dad is the brother of Pac-12 commissioner, who said that SMU & Houston are a packaged deal to the Pac-12

Don't you hate just being right? Can't we all panic and pretend the world is ending?

[ericdickerson4life]

Let's just join the MWC, CUSA, BE, Sunbelt merged conference and call it a day.

man I wish big east would move with these darn invites. every day the news gets worse! If big east lets WVU out, doesn't that set a precedent for Pitt and Cuse and possibly louisville??
