And I bet most schools in the Pac-12 in hindsight wish that they would have accommodated UT to pull off that move back then.
Rumor has it...three Big 12 teams were unwilling to commit to ...

Agree. There is no more "Big 12" as we know it. It is done. When TX/OU walk the money just isn't there any more to be considered a power conference. Any team left that has an out to a power conference must (and will) take it. Anyone trying to band together, has no other alternative. I think the 8 may band together for a while but the goal for everyone of them will be to get out as soon as they can... just like the AAC, MW, etc. If you can be in a power conference you will go.
That’s fine. We didn’t play our hand the way we did, if “soft” landing for ISU, until we obviously were forced to. There’s still a lot of bs to pan out for that even to happen.
My opinion on this, is the final 8, are exempt from any guilt. We are all left with doing what we have to to insure the best for our institution. I will hold no ill will towards any of the 8 refugees doing or going where they can or have to at this point. (As long as they dont purposely damage us to get ahead).
We final 8 were put in this spot by dealing with UT and OU for the last 25ish years, and the first round of defectors a decade ago. Ultimately, no matter what we all know it was dealing with UT from the start that caused it, but at this point the final 8 just need to do what they need to do, it is no fault of any of them or us, we did what we could to make this work for everyone for 25 years, but its time to move on and hopefully secure a better option.

For recruiting purposes, the Pac 12 would be much much worse for us.
All the schools that ever demanded larger monetary shares of the conference money have now fled for conferences with equal distribution of revenues. Bevo, OU, aTm, Nebraska.
Greedy little **** stains from day one.
Wouldn’t even slow Campbell down.
The thing I think is most false about it is that only 3 schools declined to sign. Why would any of the remaining 8 teams sign their rights away when we don't even know if the conference will exist in a year.
Maybe, but I guess I don’t see why if it’s football that is driving everything.
Guilt is one thing, but they are all still contractually obligated. If there aren't enough teams with a landing spot to vote to dissolve the league we may have to ride this thing out till 2025.
You get the coveted Kansas City market….full of Mizzou FB/KU BBall fans. Not even sure if anyone in KC cares about CFB anymore after the Chiefs have come up.
No, Kansas City is in Missouri. You don’t get those televisions that wouldn’t watch KU football anyway.
Whenever I'm in the KC area I think I see more people wearing ISU gear than Mizzou, KU and KSU combined. But maybe its just because I notice it more.
If you announce that you are backing out of Pac12 and commitment and going B1G, just say "respect my decision" and youre covered
