Lets get on with it!

Good, then we can see what those greedy ******* in oklahomo and texA$$ do.

Lets get on with it!

Might as well. This is bad enough for us, but this has to be weighing heavily on the players (in every sport) and killing our recruiting. The longer this goes on the worse it becomes.

I'm ready. Let's do this.

If this was possible to do, what school would pay $100 million to leave the Big 12?

Your answer is...

Nobody would leave short of Texas for that pricetag!

UT could probably negotiate terms to spread the payment over 4 or 5 years and really not skip a beat. Even with what's left over, UT would be one of the top spenders among the FBS schools.

Well, here it goes. Everyone hold onto your hats. It's going to be a wild ride!

I'm for an solution that puts us in a new conference. I realize this is probably not a good stance to take for our long term athletic viability, but I can't take this Big 12 non-sense anymore.

I find it utterly stunning that that aTm's fans don't understand that they are walking into a horrific Faustian agreement. Oh well...let A&M's dance with the Devil BEGIN!

Noone because Boone would be let to collect it. That's my point.

 

[Clonefan32]

I'm going to struggle to decide who to root against harder in the future, Nebraska or TAMU.

It's quite possible A&M isn't doing this out of desire, but necessity. More of a preemptive strike so to speak.

If some of the reports have legs to them, the Texas and OU interest in other conferences may not have picked back up with A&M wanting to leave. Perhaps A&M got sick of the uncertainty and did what they had to do in order to self-preserve.

#7500 is mine?

Probably a good move...must be nice to be desired.

Nope 7500 is mine. ?????

No one has really mentioned this in a while, but what happens if the SEC votes today and they only get 8 votes (they need 9 of 12) to add aTm in? There has been news that at least 3 schools are not completely for the addition, if just one more gets cold feet about the ramifications then would aTm come back weeping into the Big 12?

I can't imagine TAMU submitting themselves for a vote without complete confidence that they will get in.

That would be cheating. I would consider it a sin on the level of Chizzlestick.
