FWIW, Frank the Tank blogger...

As a lover of awkward moments, playing in the phantom Big 12 next year is going to be an absolute treat for me. Cannot wait.

Would be a dream come true if NU does join the B10 for official conference play in 2011.

We may see NU and OSU in the conference championship as a final sendoff for Terrelle Pryor. That would be EPIC!

Big 12 (now 10) may, may survive. By dropping the title game, creating tv networks and some form of revenue sharing.

Oh and all future games will now be 59:59 instead of 60 minutes (that's a joke).

A couple comments the form of questions:

So who broke up the conference? Well at this point - nobody.

In the end - the ultimatum, the finger pointing, etc. was just the usual bluster and intimidation.

Apologies are in order but I know how things work.

So has learned to play nice Texas? Or did KU, KSU, MU and ISU all grovel enough?

From where I sit, other conferences weren't going to allow the Longhorns to create their own TV network, so they are rethinking the decision. Read: "I need to be where I can get my way most or all of the time".

 
Houston Astros owner Drayton McLane Jr., a prominent Baylor alum, told Orangebloods.com Sunday that officials will live to regret killing off prized tradition in Texas college athletics by moving too quickly.
"The rivalries between Texas, Texas A&M and Baylor have lasted more than 100 years," McLane said. "Those are treasured assets in this state. And to see them broken up and discarded would be a travesty.

"Sometimes we make decisions faster than we should. I would like to encourage the universities to see the issues as they are, the tradition. To wipe out over 100 years of tradition and go start playing on the west or east coast, that just doesn't fit what this state is all about."

They could invite Rice, TCU, SMU, and Houston. Those are the teams that got left out in the cold when four schools made business decisions to bolt for the Big 12. I guess tradition meant a lot less 15 years ago.

 
I watched the board of regents meeting that was televised last Friday. I was shocked but excited when Mr. Pearlman requested to join Big 10 in 2011 athletically and 2010 academically. Which the board did approve. Went to huskers.com today and 2011-2012 football schedule has been taken down other than a couple OOC games.
