Ohh turkey neck, you're so clever. Shame your full a shit.
What's amazing is the majority of UT and OU posters actually agree with me but you don't see it.

So do we division names for this shit show yet or what?
Currently taking bids, couple of lucky cooperations out there bout to make Big12 members even MO money. Nike/Under Armor probly but then again might be Penn and Teller and David Copperfield cause nobody can figure out how in the world we pulled this off after ESPIN and the SCC network told their followers that we were dead :pound:#feelsgood

The majority think the Big 12 will eventually fold.

An it certainly could, I am not one of those believers. The B12 only needs one school to stay, an I don't ever see that school leaving to join a conference where they aren't the boss and in a different time zone.

Texas isn't hanging around if OU leaves. They will join the PAC, B1G or go independent.

Yes and you see the ACC folding and anything else that helps you cope with the demise of the Big 12.

Just as you see the B12 disbanding and having them all go to the pac then having the sec and b10 raid the ACC and then the ACC wouldn't take West Virginia so you can feel better about being totally wrong how Lousiville would have been a better add then WVU to the b12.

If things go to shit in the Big 12 I highly doubt you guys get UCONN'ed. Too many positives with your program for a poaching P5 conference to overlook.

That being said the talk here is making me think the ACC dies. Money is better in the Big 12 and the basketball schools might prefer some sort of new Big East type arrangement.

The ACC is not going to fold and I've never advocated that. Expansion makes sense for only one P5 conference and that's the PAC and that is why they will go after Texas and OU.

Nothing else makes sense.

How do you know? They have assets the SEC and B1G want and the Big12 is better financially. They might not be on as strong of footing as you think.

So staying at 14 for both the B1G and SEC makes more sense then adding 2 more and going to 16. GTFO with that.

If both the B1G and SEC could add teams from Carolina and UVA they would/will. It makes perfect sense to see the ACC lose a few teams.

I hope so, always a possibility. But I too think we would find a home in the P5 (ethier ACC or maybe SEC)
