Riiiiiight. Game set match to you. This committee is just to portray a business as usual type deal. It means pretty much what the PAC announcement today means: nada...
The chair of the “Keep the Big 12 Together” committee when Texas A&M announced it was leaving (after Nebraska and Colorado already did) was the Missouri AD. He resigned the chairmanship the day before Mizzou to SEC broke. So clearly the people in these roles can walk and chew gum at the same time.
Let me guess what tomorrow's agenda of the expansion committee will be: half a day of twiddling thumbs followed by the other half day of not looking at the resumes of UCF, Memphis, Houston, Cincinnati, and BYU.
Whoa…I didn’t say this was over. I just said it shows we put a ton of work (54 pages) responding to a Dave Wannstedt comment. It’s Dave. Freaking. Wannstedt. There is a guy that looks like him at every used car lot in America.
Tomorrow is introducing each other and collecting contact information. Not looking at resumes is 4-5 meetings down the road. Don’t rush this stuff.
In my opinion, nothing sounds worse than having a meeting about a bunch of meetings.
Yeah, those files can sit for a bit and age. Especially if OuT ends up staying for 2-3 years. Media negotiations for the other conferences (BIG and PAC) will begin in 18 months or so...that's when things will finally iron out.
I’ve been in crap like that. Spending the first 45 minutes to an hour to determine when and where we can meet later.
Spring where? Iowa or Texas.
Nice general response vs. giving an exact month and the UT AD probably wasn't asked to be more specific.
That’s right, I knew somebody talked about prior conversations. Pretty easy to slap them on the stand and make it even messier.Spring where? Iowa or Texas.

This is why they won’t let it go to trial. The last thing any of those folks want to do is go through discovery, and to testify under oath.
It's amazing how every single event simultaneously confirms we are going to the B1G and confirms we are doomed. You can convince yourself of anything.
I guess I am surprised that so many on here expect this whole expansion idea to be done quickly. Pollard himself said "we need to be patient." ISU and the other Big 8 teams are going to be fine for 2 to 4 years. The Pac 12 and Big 10 are going to redo their new media contracts and then expansion will happen.
Everything I have read seems to point out to the fact that the Pac 12, Big 10 and ACC are pissed off at the SEC for going behind their backs and stealing OU and UT under the idea of enlarging the playoff, and then trying to push that through before anyone knew that a deal for the two schools to leave the conference had already been decided on and was in place.
ISU will be fine, the Big 12 is not going to expand and take schools that will not help grow the league in the future, we just have to be patient.
ISU will land on our feet, and so will many of the other league members, a few like Baylor and maybe TCU will be the ones that are hurt the worst.

BIG and PAC are currently in negotiations...Both Leagues gor are up in 2023.. They are not gonna sign off on anew TV deal then expand. They would have to expand soon to understand the full value of the conferences tv rights..
The big 12 is expanding and moving forward.
Pollard is on the B12 expansion committe. Not sure we have a landing spot...
PAC is 2024-2025 I thought. B1G is 2023-2024. I’m fairly confident after those seasons, rights will be expiring. I might be wrong and am too lazy to look it up.
