Good bye Big XII

[1911Sooner]

Yeah Missouri really baffles me. I know they are upset and looking for what's best for them but the Big 10 would be a much better fit. I know the Sec likes their tv market with KC and St. Louis plus they are not far from the University of Arkansas but Missouri should really weight their options.

Didn't Missouri want in the Big10 to begin with last year?

Missouri's shopping around is what pulled Nebraska into the Big Ten (Odd that the Big Ten has 12 teams and the Big 12 has Ten teams)

believing gotlieb is like trusting a politician. Also espn article says the sec is ''pursuing'' those schools according to gotlieb's source yet none of the school's have confirmed this and fsu and mizzou have denied it. I think we should drop iowa state keep mizzou and have a new big 8.

We should add TCU, Houston, Boise State and Notre Dame or four other teams so we can stay with 12 teams. As long as the BCS is around, it puts any conference without a Conference Championship at a huge disadvantage.

If ND has continued to turn down the B10, we have very little shot at them. Boise brings nothing to the table financially or geographically. Houston brings far more to the table than TCU. BYU would be good, but they would not work in scheduling the minor sports. Also, Baylor doesn't want to play BYU from what I've heard.

And Baylor contributes how? :-) I say grab BYU and if Baylor doesn't like it, too bad. They had to have their governor hold the conference hostage from the other tx teams while she begged for them to be included with the big 12 deal.

OU, OSU, Texas, Texas Tech, and Kansas to the Pac 10. Then the 2 super conferences would battle it out in the BS Championship (I mean BCS. Or, wait, yeah, BS is right).

Stop thinking that football is the only sport. Baylor is a very highly regarded academic school, also their track and field programs are top notch. Also their baseball and softball programs are well above average.

I'm not just thinking football. That's why I included Kansas in the earlier post. These conferences are not for academics. They are strictly to bring in revenue from their athletic programs. Now, I don't care how good baseball & softball programs are at Baylor (and I'm a baseball guy), making a revenue generating business decision based on a money losing program/sport would be a poor decision.
