Big 12 looses aTm

[4thandInches]

Insiders say Texas A&M intends to leave Big 12 for SEC | Aggies | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

The Big 12(9) appears to be dying a slow painful death..Aggie insiders say they are gone.

It just broke on SC. Looks like FSU, Clemson, and Mizzou as well.

 

[corn train]

I saw this move coming weeks ago. I don't see how Mizzou has any appeal to the SEC though

The St. louis tv market that they dont command

 

[4thandInches]

Mizzou would get STOMPED on by the good SEC teams..If they can't tackle Helu good luck with Trent Richardson.

 

[corn train]

Yes, Mizzou essentially assured they will never play for a title, not that they would have anyway

With the SEC expanding to 16 does the Big 10 go after OU and Kansas, Or will they go Pac12??

 

[HuskerFan8807]

the big 10 should go get OU and OKie st. ahh hell just get ku and kst as well

 

[huskers1217]

mizzou denies contact with SEC.

the big 10 should go get OU and OKie st. ahh hell just get ku and kst as well

I think OU, Okie Lite and Kansas. MAYBE Iowa State.... they could have Indiana as a rivalry.

Oklahomos live and die with texas recruiting, I would think they would favor a move to the PAC over the SEC

 

[huskers1217]

30-40% chance A&M gets denied by SEC.....

 

[corn train]

The SEC wants aTm for texas recruiting plain and simple

 

[jedburks]

OU reps have already told some reporters that they have talked with the Pac 12. I see OU, OSU, Texas Tech, and Baylor rounding out the Pac 16. Tech and Baylor only have value because it brings in the Texas TV market and the Texas recruiting.

30-40% chance A&M gets denied by SEC.....

1% chance A&M gets denied by the SEC. Especially since the SEC is voting on it this weekend.

And A&M board of regents would not have moved up their meeting ahead of the state legislature meeting if they didn't already know what was going to happen. All of this voting crap is just a formality.

All of this movin and shakin doesnt bode well for ISU, KU, and K St.

Where will they go individually if and when the Big 12 ,10,9,8etc finally falls?

I think the MWC would fit KU and KSU pretty well. Honestly for ISU? I see the MAC at best. ISU is screwed the most. At least KU and KSU can entice someone with basketball.

 

[Papalou]

I ve thought for a long time that the mac and ISU would be a good fit.

I think it would be a hell of a stepping stone for an improving program

and also would give them a good recruiting base.

As for the MWC , I hadnt thought of it but that would be a safe bet geographically.

 

[sandhill_husker]

Agree ISU is screwed, blued and tatooed the most.

They have some really good coaches in multiple sports and won't be able to pay those folks what they're getting now, wont be able to recruit either if they end up in the MVC or whatever. Downhill all the way for those guys.

I read where the push for the SEC is to take aTm and Missouri. Arkansas would love the border wars and traveling shorter distances. I also read a Norman, OK paper that is calling aTm traitors to the conference (sound familiar).
