Not sure I put much faith in it, but it would cripple the Big 12 and be fun to watch. Any movement is good movement.

It makes sense. Texas and OU have wanted out of the B12 for years.

Holy shizz

Pick me, Pick me ! AAC schools once again in scramble mode at the feet of the Big 12, SMH!

 

[CL82]

What the heck? Get these to the Key Tweet thread on the CR board stat!

 

[WestHartHusk]

Here. We. Go.

No outright denials probably means it's true.

 

[CL82]

So Houston and.... Tulsa to the Big 12? Or does Memphis or Cinci get the nod? What about one of the Florida schools?

So... much... drama!

LOL Pete:

 

[DoctorWho85]

I would think if that's the case the Big 12 collapses. No way anyone cares about Big 12 without OU and Texas.

 

[Adios]

I wouldn't be surprised if Oklahoma ends up in the SEC. It belongs there. But UT might have to look west. No idea who else to partner with OU, though, besides Oklahoma State.

So to ask the dumb and obvious question: does this help, hurt, or prove irrelevant to UConn football? Does an SEC super conference impact college basketball in any way>

 

[JMick]

The Big XII is going to implode regardless and I can't wait to see it. Hope TCU and Baylor get stuck in the AAC

 

[Adios]

Walmart can hire Mizzou players. It's over.

 

[LIuconn]

What about the Dude from WV?

WVU finally gets its travel partner .

New PAC12 Commissioner:

One of my first thoughts was does the PAC try to absorb some of the Big 12 or does the Big 12 go fishing for some PAC.

True.....could this be the beginning of the end and the start of the P-4 ?

It would be the PAC-12 poaching the Big 12. No PAC-12 school would leave their conference to join a Big 12 without TX or OKLA. On the flip side, aside from Kansas, its hard to imagine the PAC 12 would be really interested in any of the other schools.

Would the PAC take teams just to crush the B12 in Texas? Do they need an academic fit or is good fb/hoops enough to bury the competition? Baylor and Houston does a lot of damage.

 

[Exit 4]

And poof the expanded 12 team playoff concept gets put on hold.

Could this explain the recent slow down in scheduling games??? Yeah maybe.

I like the idea of the PAC 12 forming a scheduling/media broadcasting alliance with the B12 in order to bring their product to more central and eastern eyeballs...but a B12 with OU and TX and not the leftovers.

Pretty difficult to see the future at the moment - ESPN holds all the cards, their $$$$$$ will steer the decisions.
