Houston Chronicle exclusive: Texas, Oklahoma reach out to SEC about joining conference.

So by the words of the letter, it seems they want ESPN to also not do journalism or publish opinion content on what is a major and timely news story.

That’s a bold strategy.

I was wondering how Bowlsby would find out about ESPN approaching teams. If, for example, ESPN approached Kansas about going to the B1G (or ACC, PAC12, SEC) Kansas would say "YES!" and not rat to Bowlsby. But the teams approached don't want to go to the AAC so they sang to Bowlsby so they can look loyal.

Lmao I imagine every AD responded to ESPN asking them to leave the Big 12 for the AAC by doing an exaggerated wanking motion

 

[JMick]

can you imagine if the Big XII, AAC and ESPN all blow up over this? It's not going to happen but it would be incredible

Would be an early leader for “Top things you hate to see” 2021

Curious what UConn fans think if the AAC and B12 merge. I’m conflicted if I’m regretting leaving but even with a merge I’m not in love with what it will be. Unless it had Kansas I would be very eh about it.

it's good we got out when we did. no guarantee we would have been picked up anywhere and I think the AAC is going to get raided, not the other way around.

I think there’s a good chance it’s about who makes the first move

This entire situation escalated into a dumpster fire real quick.

That is what I thought until about five minutes ago. Now I'm not so sure.

Kansas landing in the Big East all of a sudden looks like a possibility.

ESPN responds....

ESPN, in a statement to AL.com, said “the claims in the letter have no merit.”

I'm glad UConn went Independent. They would've been left out in the cold all over again.

How does this impact UConn Indy scheduling? I’m assuming this would mean more conference games. Which would leave less opportunity.

Kansas and WVU might become independents to avoid being labeled as in a non-P4 league.

Bowlsby says he has the receipts. If he does this is gonna get wild

Because that worked so well when the Big East accused BCU of the same thing.

Bowlsby is going to be out of a job when Big 12 dissolves.
