If there is no Big East for us than after that I wouldn't care. Might as well just go to the freaking Sun Belt. That being said we will still likely end up in the Big East.
I don't think Stoops likes this at all. He's pointing out everything that will and should enrage fans about it...the exclusivity, the lost rivalries, etc. in a bid to get enough of a public backlash that it gets stopped before it's too late.

Its already to late. The slope has been greased and everyone is sliding into a greedy sewer of ****.
Absolutely. Playing the hand he's been asked to play. Who blinks, who folds, who keeps em close to the vest???
No offense, but they would be lucky to have isu and it would be isu's decision of whether that conference is worthy not the other way around.
Oh, and your coach sounds clueless in this whole dicussion.
Chip Brown interview on 810 today. Sounds like Texas fans are a little shocked and concerned by the OU power play. Really a case to be made that Texas could actually end up being a big loser in all this. If you consider still being in a power conference and still generating lots of money losing. Just really going to **** me off if Texas makes all these concessions in the end and ISU is still scr***d.

I don't think he said that, at least not yet. He said early today it was expected the vote will be unanimous.

I forget this happened last year. And now both are suddenly in Ames for a football game with JP and GG where everyone is quietly confident? What gives? Something is a foot.

If only Nebraska, atm and OU could have grown a pair and made a stand back when they could have brought some real balance to the conference and a reason for longevity and consistency. Nah, they were just fine with things being slanted in their favor, until it became apparent that things slanted a little further in somebody else's favor, then, oh my word, the humanity. Let's take our ball and run away.
I blame UT, to be sure. But I place more of the blame on the others mentioned.

I missed that last year. That's actually a very interesting article and may help us out if the B1G or whatever it is wants to keep a gov't headache from occuring.
Yep. If last year the other 11 had said 'nope, we're staying here, texas you can do what you want' and had forced changes to make things more equal, they couldve given this conference a ton of stability. Texas wouldntve gone off on its own, and even if they did, those 11 teams could survive together without UT. 3 texas teams would still hold the texas market for a conference network (ratings would be diminished somewhat, but they would still get carriage in texas)
