As long as Texas (some would say OU too, but since OU will do whatever Texas does, it really is up to Texas) decides to continue to stay in the Big XII, the Big XII will be fine. If I were the other members of the Big XII, I would be constantly looking for ways to increase the penalties of leaving the conference....the tougher it is for Texas to leave, the more likely they are to stay, unless the money gained by leaving reaches epic proportions, which one could argue that that is nearly on hand. So I hope the rumors of the new ESPN deal for the Big XII are true...for two very distinct reasons: 1. It does provide security for the Big XII, which is good for our region of the country, college sports in general, and for Kansas City. 2. It is certain to help drive up the price of the new SEC deal that will be coming, and that certainly will benefit Mizzou. |

The Big XII got a good deal despite losing those two schools, not because they left. |

Given that they have openly flirted with other conferences in each of the last two seasons - including last year after the new mega cool $1BB Fox contract - then how can anyone have confidence they won't do it again? And most Mizzou fans don't care whether the Big 12 lives or dies. All I care about is Mizzou, and I am thankful we got a life jacket from the best conference in the country. |

There's so many zeros involved now though for the Big 12 schools that it doesn't really matter. Championships matter. And that is what I want my school to focus on moving forward in this great league. |

I'll be honest and say I'd prefer MU in the Big 12. This type of hatred belongs together. |

No big deal. Advertisers spend more on CBB than they do on CFB. I don't make the rules. |

Wait....is "the day after" the same day that MU wouldn't fully commit to the Big 12? |

I believe during one of the empty commitments to the conference MU abstained. They were already done with the league and decided to just make it known. Whatever the exact timeline was escapes me at this moment.

Good christ. I have more insider knowledge about what's happening with the Big 12 conference than Jack Harry. He knows jack shit. Nice to know I'm one notch above that walking excuse for retroactive abortion. |

How about taking a bit of ****ing pride in just being Mizzou? Screw all the conference crap and the rivalry crap and just be proud of what you are based on your own history? Sorry... I guess that's more of a KU thing. |

With MU or without, I'm feeling like Scrooge McDuck swimming in his pool of gold coins. (Just realized you can't spell one who sucks the penis-edMc w/o McDuck either.) |

We won't play Mizzou because they weren't loyal to the conference. /KU fan |

You've said, "We want nothing to do with the Big 12". Guess what numbnuts? KU is in the Big 12, and we're accommodating you. And all of a sudden, the Big 12 is a LOT more stable. |

No shit. I think once actual football starts back up most of this shit will die and we will focus on our teams. I'm actually excited to see the team we field this year and just how dominant DGB is, conference bullshit be damned.

There is a lot, LOT, of evidence that Texas would've quickly followed suit in that move with OU. The members of this conference have constantly kept their options open publicly, while privately flirting with any decent suitor who would listen. You can strawman this and claim that Missouri's Big 10 flirtation started it, but that's logically wrong. |
Quote:
**** them. I got sick of that shit when I was at Wichita State. WSU did everything they could to compare themselves KState and KU. I got sick of it. And after I moved on, the resentment for KU and KState grew even worse in the professional realm. I moved to Lawrence and saw what it was like to be here. KU doesn't envy Mizzou, North Carolina, Duke, Alabama, LSU, Harvard, Oxford or Stanford. KU knows who they are and are working hard to be the best they can be, without a bunch of petty jealousy. But by all means. Wave your banner high. Tell the world. WE'RE THE SEC! Oh, and we're mizzou. |

I honestly think it's pretty silly when fans of other teams start beating their chests because one of their rivals wins a title. It's not like Alabama is going to share their title with Florida or LSU or anyone else in the conference. Besides the better recruiting possibilities in football will come from joining the SEC, I just wanted to join the conference to screw the Texas schools and so I can see Mizzou play in person since I live about an hour from Gainesville. |

Those are high-profile games. They draw huge crowds. They get on national television, and the kids get massive exposure. This is attractive to kids. It's also attractive to advertisers who pay huge money for television contracts. This money is used to fund the athletic department for facilities, coaching, etc. Conference affiliation matters. It matters greatly. Anyone who says otherwise isn't in a great conference. |

Almost sounds like you've created an identity based on association with the Jayhawks basketball team. Maybe you should talk to a shrink or something. |
Also, last time I checked, Florida had won a couple of basketball championships and a couple of football championships recently yet DaKCMan AP has "SEC" references both under his name and in his sig line.

Unless you've sunk a jumper for the Jayhawks or caught a TD pass for the Chiefs, it appears to me that you're being hypocritical. Of course, you're a hypocrite, so you're just being you. |

YOU are the one who said he worried about that. NOT me. YOU. Braincase said it. Not Saul Good. Therefore, YOU are being a hypocritical dipshit by saying that while beating your chest over the Chiefs and Jayhawks. It would be hypocritical of me to do the same had I been the one who made that remark. But I didn't...because I'm not a hypocrite...nor am I a dipshit. |
