Like I said last week and what I REALLY like is IT JUST DOESN"T MATTER. MU's decision is irrelevant. I like an irrelevant MU.
Staying at 10?

taking ND in everything but football would be a huge mistake paving the way for Texas to do the same.
I'm torn. I'm sick of their crap and if it will help the Big 12 get back to 12 then I'm all for it. But I enjoy playing them every year as a conference rival. And we really would be on an island if they left. I think the Big 12 is fine and will last, but I still wouldn't like to look at a map and see us surrounded by teams that are in difference conferences.
"Big 12 administrator" could be any administrator at any school or at the conference office. Can't speak for the whole conference. They have no idea what number to settle on. The plan is to wing it and see how it turns out. Same as it has been the whole time.
BYU to the Big 12 maybe would be okay and I mean okay in the sense like this guy's okay.
We should never consider Boise St. I love seeing them do great but they are far out in the middle of nowhere and add little in terms of market for a BCS league looking to rebound after being poached and defections.
Stop at ten and wait for schools to be disgruntled in the 'almost super conference' setup of 14 teams. I promise that some schools are not going to be happy about the dilution of their votes/money etc.
They are saying this waiting for the ACC to pick up UConn and Rutgers to finish off the big east. Then the Big 12 can say to the Big East teams they want come on down.
Its all about the tier 1 deal, if they can renegotiate that, then hopefully we go to 12, but I think most schools will think the money will be stretched too thin with 12.
Lets say we'd bring in 20 mil each with 10 schools, if we moved to 12 teams it would be16.6 mil. Not that big a deal imo since its still more that what everyone was were making last year under the old tier 2 contract.

I do not have a problem having 10 teams in conference, if ISU can make more money that way. I would like MU to be one of them. I doubt if the Big 12 goes away in 6 years after all that has happened now this year. I think we will be a stronger group because of it. TCU will have to earn their stripes now. If things do get shaky in the future, ISU will most likely have a stronger voice in the direction what will be at that time. The main thing is we should not rush into anything now and add another Nebraska, Colorado or Tammy. That would not help our conference.
This is the dumbest post ever. You honestly believe there is no strategic plan?? That JP, GG and others like them are just winging it. You're a lost cause.
It's official...
Wichita State is #11.
Everyone tweet it.
Who wouldn't want this in conference?
If Missouri leaves, I think FOX has told us "Add markets." This is why we would go to 12, I think.
Texas really wants to stay at 10. I think that Neinas is placating Dodd's wishes for a 1- 2 year period so that the money, under current distribution, is divided among fewer schools. After this period, and ahead of the new TV contract negotiations, additional teams will be announced expanding the conference to the larger TV footprint. The associated risk is that the teams you want will have been taken by another conference. But this implies that that WV, Louisville, BYU, etc have someplace else to go.
It looks like one of MO's complaints is that there would be 10 teams instead of 12 because they want to revert to divisions and play one less conference game. I can't imagine that ISU, KU, KSU, Baylor, would have a problem with this.
Since when has the "shocker" been a gang symbol. Either that hand symbol has morphed into something different since my childhood or you have your hand signals crossed up.
Heck no. We need to keep all the Big 8 schools we can, and wouldn't you rather we kept the basketball tourney in KC instead of Dallas where nobody cares about it?
