Color me impressed. 200 email threats. That definitely proves a majority of their fans do support leaving the Big XII.

This whole thing has never been about money - it's about ego and power. Texa$ already has a $150 million athletic budget - something that no school in the conference can compete with. On top of that, they have a $1 billion (yes, with a b) endowment that can be tapped when needed. You would think that Texa$, with all their sources of funding, would see the writing on the wall, realize that they have no other option other than to go indy, and make the necessary concessions regarding the LHN. But again - it's not about money...

KS Board of Regents chair says Big 12 is best fit for #Kansas, #KState. Also says both have options (but would not discuss in detail)

Just throwing this out there, but check out the Louisville AD's salary: Athletics director salary database - USATODAY.com
3rd highest in the nation, actually ahead of DeLoss Dodds by over $500,000!!

LHN wouldn't limit itself to the games of senior recruits. If they are showing high school games you can bet your *** they'd be showing juniors, sophomores, and maybe even freshmen.
Technically Iowa State has options as well... the Big East or the Mountain West. K-State can't be sitting any prettier than that, and if Kansas had a Big 10 or ACC invite they wouldn't be sitting around waiting on Mizzou to make a move first.
Mizzou and their fans are really starting to resemble "Old Yeller" now. They have become crazy over this SEC stuff. It's time to take them out back and shoot them. :yes:
Good lord, the Mountain West is not a viable option. At least we'd better hope not...
The Big East is sitting around waiting for the Big 12 invite after Texas and OU got shot down. Schools like Cincy and TCU are praying for a Mizzou to the SEC scenario.
If Texas and OU want to stay in the Big 12 (and where the **** else are they gonna go right now?), there will be no problem getting back to 12.

That is his point. We have options, but the big 12 is the best place for us (unless the Big Ten comes calling).
We all have options, some have better than others. I would expect that JP and the Kansans prefer spending the next century in a happy and prosperous Big XII. Our options are likely the same as theirs. We have to consider what-if options in case plan A doesn't happen this year or in six. Are the MWC or the BE as a safety net preferable than the risk of being on the outside as an independent? Are there other options?
I never said good options. But if Mizzou sets off the apocolypse we'd end up in one of those two conferences.
Well note that the Board of Regents chair didn't say they were 'viable' options for KU & KSU, he just said they had 'options'..
Same kind that threatened to withhold support when Bruce VandeVelde canned Eustachy for being friendly and thirsty. Fans are fans are fans...everywhere.
Sounds like Bill Self is pretty upset about Mizzou...if they leave is it the end of the Mizzou-Kansas games?
Other than Arkansas, they'd be so geographically detached from everyone else compared to the Big 12 teams around...Removing from all traditional rivalries too?
Kansas-Missouri basketball rivalry could end with Tigers' departure from Big 12
