Listening to 104.9 in Austin right now - they sound as if things are still tense among Big 12 teams right now. No guarantee about any long-term future; even A&M still thinking about the SEC...
This is why I have said it is in ISU's best interest to look to the East. The 4 North forgottens can get with the Big East (if they will have us). This should lock up the Big East and allow them to explore their/our own network. With the population throughout that network, having a Big East championship football game and probably additional bowl games the Big East could have a lucrative revenue stream.
