I would be 100% on board with this. ditto I think we're all in agreement.

That's what I'm seeing. Someone is pi$$ing down someone else's back and being told it's raining.

A bucket of cheesy popcorn?

Hate to be the one to break the bad news to you, but I believe one of the conditions of keeping those three was that the rest of the confrence forfiets their share. So all of the exit pennalties from both Nebraska and Colorado would go to the three you mentioned. That is being disputed by none other than Mizzou.

To me, this sounds like all is not so happy happy in Big 12 land....

It really makes a person wonder if Beebe ate lead paint chips as a child.

Just goes to show a few hundred million can't teach a hillbilly manners.

And....what do you think your TV revenues are going to be when TU starts their Bevo Network? Enjoy it while you can, because the network that shows Big 12 games will have a hard time selling advertising when nobody in Texas will be watching.

i am thoroughly enjoying this, and what is even better (ok, not better, but a close second) is that the Pac 10 is stuck with colorado, only taking them thinking it would cause the downfall (along with the assumed departure of NU) of the big 12 and they could get whoever they wanted. edit: i don't understand why they are blaming the aggies? for staying? UT could still leave? and they are blaming Dan Beebe? for what? finally doing his job? Actually they the Pac 10 did fine CU isn't best football program, but it did give them the Denver market. More importantly they didn't let UT come in and ruin the conference with BS like this: In the 11th hour, after months of telling us they understand the TV rights, they're trying to pull a fast one on the verge of sealing the deal in the regents meeting," the source said. "They want a better revenue sharing deal and their own network. Those were points of principle. (The Pac-10) wants to treat everyone fairly. It's been that way for months of discussions http://www.denverpos...urce=commented- Now the PAC 10 knows what kind of underhanded crap we had to put up with for 14 years. This just reinforces my elation with NU's decision to get the hell out of the UT Piggybank Conference.

I know they have stated that, but that was when we were in the same conference and that could determine if they went to the Big 12 conference game or not. Example say they beat Texas and that was Texas' only loss, but Oklahoma lost to Nebraska and Oklahoma State, Texas would go, but if that happened with Nebraska being in the Big 10 Oklahoma would end up going. It still doesn't matter. Why would OU play two games like that? If they happen to beat UT, then there's little to stop them from winning the Big 12 Championship due to the weak sister North Division. OU has basically one tough game they have to win to get a possible shot at a National Championship Game berth with a good W/L record. Now tell me again why they want to add NU to their schedule?

Bingo! UNL has always wanted to expand on the academic front and this was a once in a lifetime chance.

First of all, we need at least seven home games on the schedule to meet expenditures for the year. Next, each of our old conference opponents will insist on a home/home series which will inevitably bring us back to point #1. This is why these games won't work unless our new Big 10 conference schedule has enough conference home games to offset a home/home series with an OOC opponent.

Farmageddon is what Kansas State and Iowa State called their game in Arrowhead. I'm gonna say we want to distance ourselves as far away from that disaster as possible. I don't know.....FARMAGGEDDON just screams HICK to me.

Oh okay so the last 10 years matters, just not the last 13? The masses remember the past decade but "if any of that matters" from 97 now "we're kidding ourselves." What a joke. And I also don't recall Iowa winning a Heisman or playing for a championship this decade. Your national title game was 13 years ago. Your incomming freshman were 5 years old when that game was played. They don't remember one damn snap. The joke is that Nebby will come in with thier 4 national titles and 4th winningest team in college football history and dominate because they have 4 national titles and are the 4th winningest team in college football. Ask scUM what tradition alone gets you in the B10 (I'll give you a hint, it's 1 and 7 in the conference). Congratulations on your storied past. That along with your academic standing and your other athletic prowess helped you get the invite. But now that you are here get in line. Your history in college football means something between Jack and sh#t and Jack left town. That being said were damn happy to have you. PS I really don't think you want to get in the argument of who matters more in the last decade. No titles and no Heisman's but in the last 10 years we have finished in the top 10 four times, had an AP player of the year, a Doak Walker award winner, a Mackey award winner, an Outland Trophy winner, one Heisman runner up, and one 6th place finish. Uh.....OK? In the past ten years NU has finished in the Top 10 twice, Top 25 five times, played for the Nat'l Championship, 1 Heisman Trophy winner, 4th place Heisman Trophy finisher, AP Player of the Year, Walter Camp POY Award, Davey O'Brien Award winner, Outland Trophy winner, Lombardi Award winner, Rimington Trophy winner, Bronko Nagurski Award winner, and a Chuck Bednarik Award winner.

Don't let the door knob hit ya in the backside I guess. First trolling and now threatening a member....Stay Classy! again, KMA! I don't think you'll be around that long.

My Gosh....those...and mean "that" is lovely!! Keep your eyes off the twins mister!! It's hard not to. They fill up my whole damn screen.

Yeah ESPN reporting the same thing. Makes sense for Texas since they don't want to actually be in a competitive conference like the SEC. The PAC 10 will regret the day they let the cancer known as the University of Texas in it's ranks.

Don't let the door knob hit ya in the backside I guess. First trolling and now threatening a member....Stay Classy!

Why is everyone so surprised Beebe has no plan? Beebe has been first and foremost an ass man for UT. Texas got everything they wanted -- conference offices relocated to Texas, rules changes on a whim, and soon to be home of Big 12 conference championship games at Jerry's World. Texas should be doing cartwheels. They have the conference they've always wanted.

Most coaching contracts have clauses in them barring inter-conference poaching without a substantial buyout penalty.

Congrats Benny!!!! Always remember.... If she's not happy....you aren't going to be happy. Make sure you live at least a half a days drive from the inlaws so they can't show up on a whim unexpectedly. If she asks if she looks fat in something....It's a trick. RUN! Never go to bed mad...stay up and fight. You're not really married until you understand what she is NOT saying. Have a happy long life together!!!

Personally I would like to move to the SEC. But I would love the change to the BIG 10 also. I hate moving to the PAC 10, buut anything is better than the BIG 12. I think being with you guys in the BIG 10 would be great! At the risk of transforming this into another Texas skirmish, let me tell you what's being reported here in Austin, and not just on orangebloods.com. Our understanding is that if A&M chooses to head east, then UT has informed them that the rivalry will be over and that it will be many, many years before the two schools meet again. While this may not seem like a big deal to many of the folks here, you have to remember that even A&M's fight song is focused toward Texas, and ours mentions them. That's the kind of rivalry this has been. It would be a tragedy if this relationship were severed due to a Gene Stallings temper tantrum. The slightly more wild report is that the Pac 10 does NOT want to wait (and the same goes for the other Texas and Okie schools) on A&M to take 30 days to make up its mind. So it's likely this will be settled next week. If A&M decides to head East, then Kansas would be next on the Pac 10's shopping list. The Okies and Tech have hitched their wagons to Texas' horses. As for the Big 10, the Kansas City TV station has had its clock cleaned by someone in the Big 10. The Big 10 is nowhere on the radar as far as anyone in Texas or Oklahoma is concerned. Period. That from the UT athletic department, off the record. The big money for Texas is out west. Not in the rust belt, not in Dixie. Of course not. There's no way for Texas to throw its weight around in the decision making process of the Big 10. Why would they go where they can't run the show?

In my opinion, there are too many bowl games already. Theoretically a team with a losing record could be in a bowl game now.

Fro, is MU going to take the leap to the Big 10 or not? It won't be the same without ya!
