And BOOM goes the dynamite...

A&M Heading to SEC in 2012? Tech and Others to Pac-12? - Corn Nation

Just rumors at this point, but it sounds plausible

If/when A&M goes "officially" the conference raiding will be on. It will be sad because great rivalries will be lost. Texas/OU unless they do clause in their conference acceptance that they play one another every year still. I would see Texas going to the Big Ten but then there is the issue of their TV Network and the Big Ten Network.

this is not a shock to any husker fan

I'd be shocked if the Horns ended up in the Big Ten. They will say Big XII. Oklahoma leaving would be the only wildcard. Which I don't think they will. Everybody but ATM is their bitch. Wait and see I guess.

I would like to see the Big 12 stay and add a few more teams (maybe even Boise St) and get their CG back. I just don't have faith that they are going to last very long. If UT or OU makes a move the rest will start to go as well.

I would like to see VT join the B1G








I need revenge.

 

[NickVT10]

Haha. Still have nightmares of Coale running down the sideline?

 

[JTEGGER]

Would the SEC have any shot at getting Oklahoma w/out taking OSU? A&M and Oklahoma are the 2 teams that the SEC wants, imo.

 

[iruletheskool]

I think Okie and Okie lite are attached at the hip... for now

 

[HighTide]

Why would Nebraska want a conference with Texas in it? Isn't their beef with Texas why Nebraska left in the first place?

 

[iruletheskool]

If Texas plays nice, and takes an equal seat with everyone else, i think they'd be a great addition to any conference..


But I don't even want to try...

 

[HighTide]

Obviously they won't when they have their own television network.

 

[iruletheskool]

^ Why I don't believe that scenario will happen.

It's not that you wouldn't want texas in your conference, but rather that you can't have a conference because texas is in it

 

[corn train]

It's like telling the Alien it's ok to host inside your stomach because it's so popular, but we all know what inevitably happens in time

Also, you guys are fortunate that Nebraska got kicked out of the AAU after being accepted into the B10, because Nebraska wouldn't have likely gotten in without it.

 

[iruletheskool]

The AAU is a joke. We got weaseled out by their lack of respect for agricultural science.

 

[chucksker]

governor of texas announced that A&M is "officially" looking at the SEC now. as if we didn't already know

 

[HighTide]

No, it is not really a joke. It is the group of top research institutions in North America.

I think the main reason you guys were dropped was because your hospital wasn't on-campus. However, you guys are still lucky because...

"All the Big Ten schools are AAU members," Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman said. "I doubt that our application would've been accepted had we not been a member of the organization." ..of that.

Source: Nebraska has it all to attract Big Ten, most importantly AAU membership - Chicago Tribune

 

[iruletheskool]

No the main reason was that they devalue ag research.. and i bet we could have still gotten in..

o well doesnt matter
