A week out, has the Big 12 decided yet what it wants to do?

[shizzle787]

Do they know what they want? Or they negotiating with some schools? Or are they negotiating with some networks? Planning to dissolve?

 

[06029]

No expansion.
Most close to a done deal was BYU plus Houston.
Not enough votes for that to happen and better to not expand and get some more money from current TV partners.
No plan B for Big 12 today but the door is not fully closed. Lots of TX backlash may be coming.

Are you serious?

Have you tried calling and asking? I want to know too

 

[shizzle787]

The question is if they have figured it out by now or are still working on it.

 

[whaler11]

They are still working on it from what I understand.

 

[HuskyHawk]

The answer is: nobody knows. They don't even know.

I heard they were gathered in the BIG12 boardroom having a robust discussion and this suddenly popped up on Gordon Gee's screensaver during his part of the presentation and they can't tear themselves away to vote...

Not sure how much validity I place on the report tho...

That guy in the background is oblivious to the world. How could he have missed that. He didn't even turn his head when the girl he was talking to slapped the brunette's rear.

No, No, No, Yes (they just don't know it yet)

 

[Chin Diesel]

Bottom line is inaction is preferable to action for UConn right now.
B12 went from having a tenuous plan to no plan.
UConn and everyone else in the AAC have 2-3 years of survival.
One thing I've learned in life in business is that a perfectly executed plan that was poorly thought out Trump's indecision every time. Waffling is the death knell of an organization. And that is the B12 right now. They literally don't know what they are right now or what they should he going forward.

He was fixated on the girl he was talking to.

This election season sucks. You can't even use trump as an appropriate verb without autocorrect changing it so something it isn't.

Nobody's THAT fixated.

 

[dayooper]

Didn't even follow the hand to her rear. Kids these days.

Maybe he doesn't swing that way. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

I suddenly forgot what this thread is about...

 

[HuskyHawk]

Well I don't remember what this thread is about either, so this roving reporter will give you his update from SEC country and later from the heart of the Big 12: Austin Texas. I'm flying there in a few hours.

But here is the report from New Orleans.

• People are bummed that there was no LSU - Florida game...and on Saints bye week no less! A definite downer for the Big Easy. Fortunately they have other things to attract their attention but this is a football town.
• Tulane has an awesome campus, and some darned pretty girls.
• Tulane beat UMass to go 3-2 and with no LSU game or Saints game, this was the big local football news. It was on local TV news and they were pretty excited to see Tulane go over .500.
• I did see a few people wearing a little UConn swag in New Orleans. Lots of FSU guys down on Bourbon Street...why does that make sense to me? LSU stuff is everywhere.

Regarding that LSU-Florida game...pretty nifty maneuver by the Gators. With their injuries...starting QB and entire DL...they didn't want to play LSU this week. So...they waited until the last minute and ppd. Could have played on Sunday...or Monday....or moved the game. Nope..they cancelled. Now they can get healthy for the rest of the schedule.

A bit slimy...but well done.

Just a couple of Louisville 'hostesses' warming up for the evening recruit reception.

Aggies killed the Big 12 as their parting gift

Interesting view of what the writer perceives as the final days of the Big 12

 

[Marty Jackson]

It's dumb. It's exactly what the media did to the big east.

Perception is becoming reality.

 

[BlueDogs]

The whole system is teetering on the edge of becoming a giant clusterf thanks to media manipulation and greed. They squeezed the Golden Goose (CFB) so hard its going on life support. Viewership is down because they have ripped apart natural rivalries, killed conferences, concentrated power in the P5 and cut off 50% of the schools from NC eligibility, and have stripped the NCAA of power. Nobody is looking out for the health of CFB. They defiled the innate purpose of college football and turned it into a business.

CFB is on life support? Viewership is down? You did see how much these conferences are making in their media deals, right? Or do you just not think before posting?
