Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Wow Bret, that's some elite conference you're building. Ya got Utah who really didn't want to join last year and publicly stated they were displeased with the Big12 earlier this season due to officiating, and now ya got TCU who is not so silently looking to bolt. Great job Bret at building a really solid and unified conference. Meanwhile ya had a school that would've been elated to join (despite the crying from some of its BBall fanbase who would fall in line eventually) that ya publicly left hanging twice and whose administration hasn't expressed any slight towards you. Keep up the stellar job Bret, with your 1 bid season to the CFP, you were almost as successful as the MWC.:p

The B1G doesn't currently have any schools with religious affiliation. They would make an exception for Notre Dame, but TCU doesn't come close in comparison.

there's some really funny thinking amongst some of these groups

AD David Benedict should be able to capitalize on this to grab a “full media payout, come and go as you like, no exit fee” football only agreement as a place to plant the program while negotiations continue

Or in the real world they probably just boot NIU from the conference and add WKU

They probably boot NIU from the conference and do nothing (there are a few non-Football D1 leagues that they could house their other sports in). UMass was just added so NIU leaving would put them back at 12.

Regarding the B1G and Texas, to me there is no doubt its part of their future. But I think the target school is indeed those strange birds at Texas A&M. TCU could book end a ND addition however; both branches covered!

Below from the WSJ today:
Dell Technologies Chairman and CEO Michael Dell:

Reflecting on the growth of Texas’ tech industry, he noted that 1 in 10 children born in America is now born in Texas, the state has 1.8 million college students, and that the state has a growth-friendly environment which has attracted many well-known companies, while also creating an environment conducive to the more than 5,000 startups currently operating in the state.

Someone arguing that Texas is some kind of economic utopia is an intelligence test. Texas has the 10th to 12th highest tax rate in the country depending on which analysis you use, and I think it is closer to 5th when you factor in all the hidden fees and costs that are higher than other states. And that gets you a school system that is ranked about 25th nationally.

Not to mention a highly unpredictable power grid which is unable to access non-Texas generated power. Because, you know, Texas didn’t want to upgrade its grid to meet interstate requirements that every other state follows. The Stste agency responsible for energy predicts rolling blackouts are between 50-80% likely in winter storms and the Texas electricity supply is not sufficient to support winter demand already. Forbes just had a piece on it. Not some left wing publication. They ‘d prefer to blame solar power when there is an outage. And an increasingly inhospitable social agenda. Those kids being born now are lucky. 13% of on-gyns are planning to retire early and ob resident applications were down 15%. And another 15% of current medical ob residents plan to leave Texas after program completion. This is a major source of new doctors in any state and if they are leaving in high numbers it is a big concern. 45% of Texas counties now are considered ob deserts meaning there is no ob service. Expected to reach 60% by 2030. So in a couple of years most of those babies born in Texas will be born without their moms having any access to pre-natal care. This from a study commissioned by the state agency that oversees medical practice. Again, not some pinko human rights group.

But yeah, Texas is nirvana
