I think the Times is truncating a quote that came out yesterday, when a "source" said they would stay at 10 until Missouri decided what to do.
Maybe in the very short term it would be less money. But a bigger and more stable league means a bigger payday for first tier rights in 2016. I don't think the 2nd tier money is a reason to stay at 10.
There is no way I want to lose Missouri. They're thugs but at least they're our thugs. We should be encouraging (even pleading) them to stay. It's a great school in all aspects and they have ties into 2 metro areas (KC and StL) and across the river into Ill. Their footprint is the entire state and they keep us connected geographically to the Big XII. We've had a good rivalry with them at times in both Football and Basketball (Norm Stewart was great). Kansas despises them going back 150 years and that's always entertaining. I've been very disapointed in the Big 8 teams laying down for the SWC we took in, and it has cost us Colorado and Nebraska. Texas and Oklahoma, now, seem to be getting the point and we don't have to listen to the delusional, "white trash", crotch grabbers from a&m anymore. The air smells better already.
If we don't hang together, we shall surely hang seperately.
12-14 schools in and of itself won't bring long term security. If it did, we wouldn't be having this discussion.
The worst thing the Big 12 could do right now is some kind of panic-add to reach some magic number of teams. Especially if that results in a conference with teams scattered all over the continent.
If we stop at 10 Hoiball better make the final four and CPR better win a BCS bowl in the next 4-6 years or we're screwed. That might not even be enough.
How f'ing stupid. Iowa State should lawyer up for many years in advance to launch the mother of all law suits when Texas and OU dump us to CUSA.
Cannot believe any ISU fan could think stopping at 10 is wise...for ISU. 10, 9 or 8 might be fine for OU and Texas. Not fine for us.
I think 10 is the number if Mizzou stays because it keeps everyones money the same. And we basically traded college station for Ft. Worth. If Mizzou leaves we will need 3 teams to come in to replace the market loss that Mizzou brings to the B12.
Also it has been indicated (don't remember where) that Texas likes a 10 team league and since they are giving up, unequal revenue sharing, rights and hs content on LHN. There there could be some kind of payoff with 10 team league. However, like I indicated above it Mizzou leaves we will need multiple markets to make up for the loss of what Mizzou brings to the conference.
I know Beebe is no longer with the conference but remember he was in conversations with the BE. It could be that there is a handshake deal that the B12 wouldn't take anyone but TCU, provided Mizzou stays. Not sure the B12 wants to be considered the reason the BE failed. Even though it wouldn't really be the B12's fault.

Not me. I miss the 100+ year tradition of the MVC/Big 6/Big 8. I know it's already gone but I say that's enough. I like geographically relevant conferences, though I understand the potential inevitability of it.
Of course, in the end, whatever.
The 6 year equal revenue sharing thing is great... but would it hold water if we had another mass exodus scare like the Texas and Oklahoma teams heading to the Pack 12?
I think this is a huge reason for wanting to add teams up to 12 or even higher. Then we'd still more likely have a majority to keep the conference together to enforce the 6 year committment.

TCU was in nobody's "strategic plan" 30 days ago. They have no idea what schools they will end up with or how many. They will keep reacting, which is all that has been done so far, and end up with some number of schools between 8 and 16. Nobody in the Big 12 has any idea what it will eventually look like.
You cannot know how stupid you look because you are not in the social group where I laid this out 6 weeks ago. How am I doing so far fellas?????
I don't remember you mentioning TCU. Feel free to link to it where you said TCU would be the first new school invited. Also, please feel free to link to where you told us how many schools the Big 12 would end up with and which ones. Thanks, you're a peach.
Besides falling (hook, line, and sinker) for Senolcyc obvious attempts at trolling you, your information has been fairly good and has fell fairly well in line with the recent developments regarding concessions.
