If the deals happens, it is a positive sign for the Big XII....but if one billion dollar type deal did not make the Big XII completely secure and keep Texas and OU from flirting and looking around, then I doubt a second one will.

The Big 12 is probably not done with their membership. Any number of schools are considering moves, and the Big 12 has been mentioned prominently with a number of schools. I am well aware that a number of fans from Nebraska, Colorado, TAMU and Mizzou not only believe but strongly desire for the Big 12 to fold up like a circus tent. My opinion? The circus has left town and took their tents with them. The Big 12 is going to be fine...and I know that really pisses off some people.

It's embarrassing really. Especially those that are constantly wishing harm on the Big 12 and calling schools that were loyal to each other names and insulting them. Not only that, when the situation changes, the damaging comments and arguments change with it. I don't get why if they are so happy with their new conference why they continue to wish harm on those who stayed. But it's over and now there's much more money. It's a win-win I suppose. If you didn't want to be here then leave and GTFO already. |

GTFO? How would you describe what we did if it wasn't getting the **** out? I don't wish harm on anyone, we got the better deal out of it, best of luck to the beaks and everyone else that got stuck and left behind.

I wish the big12 and all it's members well. I'm still excited to be moving on to the sec, and a bright future for ol' mizzou.

Nice to see the beakers continuing to offer lip service to their Texas overlords.

Ugh, the stupidity that flows from this thread from both sides is crazy.

Who woulda ever believed trimming the fat that is mu and texas a+m would be this valuable?
Obviously the conference wasn't going anywhere but to make THIS much more $$? Damn... |

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.

Yeah, getting rid of a quality program like Mizzou, along with its millions of viewers and fans, really drove up the price of the tv package. Idiot as usual.

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

MU - I'd say it would have been bigger. It's a school that dominates it's state and whatever amount of million of people live in it.
