I think MU put this out as part of the plan, and on going process, by the conference's strategic team (GG and JP are members) to keep the Big XII together and, most importantly, to speed up that process. Texas's pending decision to stay in the Big XII is depended on their "critical mass teams" remaining in the league. The threat of MU leaving will concern TX and likely speed their decision.
But what would I know.
If that's all it takes, we can just hire someone to perform an inception on Dodds.
The plan has been to rescue the Big XII and keep TX (huge value) in as an equal and equitable player. This should be doable and worth trying because we don't think they can go anywhere and have what they have here. And it is the right thing to do, look around at the stable conference models (equity). Now it's crunch time......"you better make up your mind Texas we can't hold this thing together for much longer Texas"....."Just play fair and equally share and we can all benefit from the best (and now stable) conference in football." "If you say no, the conference may fall apart." "Have you completely thought through the impact that will have on your school."
If we lose Texas, then we talk seriously about what's next. Obviously, we've all been out looking after ourselves and putting together ideas for what the remaining 8 might do.
You asked earlier if Texas was smart enough to know they had been played. The answer is, of course they are, but the real question was, will they realize it in time?? No they did not.
That would make sense in the framework of what you have been saying for awhile. It seems like a lot for MU to take on themselves though unless they don't have a major preference for the B12 over the SEC.
I don't care for that Scott p**** . I hope offering UT unequal rev for the LHN ticks off the pac12 members and they can his rear end also.
SOLD!!! If that's what it takes to keep the Big12 together, then I hope they can convince UT to do it. It sounds like equal revenue sharing would be part of it as well and possibly turning the LHN into the B12 Network if possible.
That's one thing I dont really understand. I would think UT would have even more to gain from a Big12 Network over just the LHN. I would have to see the math though.
Rebecacy, either you knew pretty much what was going down or you are the luckiest SOB I've ever seen. Either way, you have been right on this thing. Thanks for your input!
Let's hope so. If The Big 12 solidifies, and expands, it would force other expansion minded teams to look elsewhere. Then we could end up with 5 major conferences, with all current BCS schools remaining in BCS conferences.
Honestly, that would be the best for everyone involved and would not completely ruin college football.
I think he did what most should haev done. He asked why? There is nothing substantial driving this change, other than hurt feelings, and fear of being left out.
You think????:twitcy:
Sounds like they were not the only ones either. Our President and AD, claimed to be part of the hoax?

You can see why they did it though. Honestly, I was hoping that was their plan all along.
Getting full approval to go to the PAC and basically being on the doorstep forces UTs hand. If UT really wants to be the big boy in the B12, they have to make concessions. If they want to make concessions to get into the PAC and end up having less power there, they end up being the bad guy who destroyed the B12.
I think the members of the Pac 12 balked at having little sisters OSU and TTU on board.
Beebe needed to be fired weeks ago. Has he even tried to get al the ADs in one room and talk this all out? i don;t think he has. He seems to think sitting on his hands is the way to go. They need to all get together and get this done so we can enjoy the best season in years at ISU.
