Really? So if the only way to get to the National Championship game is from being in a 16 team super conference... and the Big 12 lets them do thier own thing TV wise whereas Big 10 does not... you don't think they'd consider the Big 12?
This is pretty much true. We may have options, BUT they all depend on what the power conferences do and what their pecking order looks like. We are pretty much at the bottom of that pecking order. If you eventually go to 64 teams, I don't see how we're possibly in that top 64.
At that point, we will just have to focus on making as much as we can in football, so that we can be relevant in basketball at least.
Under your logic, we should just offer membership to every Conference USA, MAC, WAC, and Mountain West team.
Might as well invite Northern Iowa as well..
Regardless, their chances of competing in the SEC are still quite a bit lower than they are in the Big 12. This is all a big **** you to Texas, trying to make the Horns feel the hurt......only I don't see how Texas is hurt by this in the slightest.

Alright, we have a ways to go. I wasn't around here in those days.
Let's just black mail Iowa to get into the Big 10. Get pictures of Sally Mason getting plowed and presto! We're in. They owe us anyway considering we just picked up the slack on their non-accredited crap journalism department.
Iowa sucks balls.

My wish list for schools to add
Colorado State
BYU
Wyoming
New Mexico
Arkansas
I'm thinking new markets. Yes, they would be smaller markets (except BYU and Arkansas) but it would be more of an equal playing field for Iowa State. Problem is that a conference with those teams would not qualify as a super conference.
I'm not sure everyone thinks that a superconference is the way to go but we need to start adding people before more decide to leave. Taking from a conference of nine will end it all. Honestly I like the nine team conference we would have. Scheduling would be easy and fair. I hope the remaining teams see it as one less mouth to feed and stick around.

Your not getting what I'm saying here. It is about if the conference disbands and there are no exit fees and all tv contracts go away. It wasn't about A&M at all or any individual school for that matter. Talking about schools have loans backed by earning projections based upon signed tv contracts. If conference ceases to exist then all money is gone as well as all signed contracts that could protect the schools.
Other thing is, A and M thought it was hard recruiting against Texas. They just opened up Texas to LSU, Auburn, Alabama etc even more. I think they will look back on this and really regret it.
And why would Texas keep playing them? I wouldn't if I were them;.
There is a reason we told Texas, Oklahoma, and A&M they could have a larger percentage of revenues and buy-out fees last summer.
Jamie Pollard will do everything he can, but it's like bringing a butter knife to a gun fight.
I am not the only one with this logic. I do not want super conferences, but IF it happens why not add teams from the Big East. I did not say anything about giving invites to every school from every conference either dude.
