This one is easy

Joe Jamail Conference
Red McCombs Conference
Jerry Jones Conference

Conference Name and the teams in it

Joe Jamail Conference - Texas, Baylor(Baylor will need expert legal help. Is his law practice still going since he passed away?)

Red McCombs(He must like basketball since he owned the Denver Nuggets) Conference - Texas, Houston, Kansas, Iowa State, K State, WVU

Jerry Jones Conference - Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, TCU(teams he wants to play in the Deathstar)

Yes, Texas is in all three conferences, because that way Texas has a good chance of winning one of them.

If you notice I put Houston in there since Red McCombs wants Houston in the Big 12.

Seems legit

Back when the Big 10 went to divisions, rather than "Leaders" and "Legends", I thought they should go with "Three Yards" and "A Cloud of Dust".

Just thought of a way for the Big 12 to make mega bucks with their divisions. Since it's all about money these days, why not put your division names up for bidding wars for companies?

Example: Instead of Big 12 North and South Divisions, you have Big 12 All State Division and MasterCard Division.

Just sell the division names to business' for marketing purposes. You could probably make a lot of money.

Dont make fun of the Big 12, we are makng a conference the networks can be proud of

Divisions are the completely wrong way to go. Just last year the evidence shows divisions can create great scheduling inequities...which lead to jaundiced division winners as evidenced by Iowa and Florida. The worst example has to be UCLA in 2011.

That's the point. The Big 12 gets blasted for not having a 13th game, nobody said the 13th game had to be good. Taking the best two teams means another tough game, while the SEC west gets to beat up on some SEC easy patsy. Ironically the Big 12 had the toughest, most honest conference schedule but the media and voters didn't deem it worthy. So lets make two divisions, and hope the playoff hopeful gets an easy big 12 title game.

^this, it also takes some of the $ting away if the conference gets left out of the playoffs.

best will be when #2 beats #1 and people start to question the purpose of a champ game. We have 0 evidence that the conference game would help getting people into the playoffs. Original report said 10% better odds based on a whole 2 years of data. It did forget there is 0 data on 10 team conference with a championship game. You want to get in the playoffs. Win your conference and schedule a solid OOC schedule, instead of trying to figure out a way to get a team with Incarnate Word on its schedule into the playoffs.

The Big 12 should just start by naming it's champion based on head to head competition instead of declaring duel champions. There is a lot to be said of using common sense.

LOL @ the houston chronicle for publishing a well thought out article about putting Houston in the Big 12 this weekend.

Texas won't let them in because Texas doesn't need another L on their schedule.

Common sense is an uncommon virtue. It is also in short supply.

Exhibit A: Baylor TCU Oklahoma Kansas WVU
Exhibit B: Texas TexasTech OkieSt KSU ISU

Have an 8 game conference schedule with 2 protected cross division games.

In the end each team will only not be playing 1 team in the conference so not a huge deal. Split the Texas teams down the middle.
