Big XII Survives!! Announcement Coming Within A Matter of Minutes
- Thread starter AustinCyclone
- Start date
Big 12 North: Mormans and pilots
Big 12 South: Baptists and Cowboys.
EPIC. I think AF and BYU are good choices and will make the Big 12 a more diverse conference. However, with all the concerns about travel to Big East schools, I'm wondering why Salt Lake City is any better? Is it simply that they're the only school that's significantly further away?

So has anyone heard whether this Texas TV deal would get the first or last choice in programming? I have to believe that any TV network would require first choice in programming. I also can see the secondary sports getting enough of a following to get their own network.
Given that the Big Bucks are being paid by the big networks, theyre going to get first pick, just like within the big 10. Any school network will get what they dont want.
I don't get why everyone is getting so excited. I do not trust Texas one bit. This is by no means a done deal yet.
I admit that I have not read this whole thread, but my thoughts are this. Could this whole realignment talk have been a ploy by Texas and others to get a better deal from tv and such, and perhaps weaken the North to the point whoever wins the South wins the automatic bid without question? Or am I being too synichal?
Agreed. Theres a lot to see here too that we dont know.
-What we'd be making
-What about others in the conference. Not even texas, because we'll never catch them. The main question is what are we making compared to those we Need to beat every year.
-Will we go back to 12, if so, who will we add?
-Will we play a championship game (looking like not), and why would we forfeit the payout from that?

That clinches it for me - bring them on board! Man, I hope this is all for real, I can't take another disapointment. The BIg 12 Lives! - Please!!
If there are 10 teams there won't be a "North" and "South". They will play a round robin schedule and the best team takes the AQ.
Paul Clark's tweet after that mentions that 'plan b' is migration to big east.
Technically, ANY future event is only a "matter of minutes."
I'll celebrate when Dodds and Powers are holding the presser.
In which case we possibly get two teams into BCS games instead of just one, as would have been the case if Nebraska beat Texas last year.
We've got options.
I'm not reading a ton into the contingency plan meeting. That's exactly what it is. A contingency plan.
The guy from Tech sounded pretty god damned sure everyone was sticking it out.
