No expansion and no conference network! Bowlsby is Boren's yes man! This conference will die sooner than we think!

Hoping you're wrong but thinking you're right.

Maybe they are urinal cakes?

When you strip all the BS and boil it down, it was real simple. The media giants told them to pound sand with regards to money. If they add crappy teams and crappy games to the BDF inventory, they weren't getting paid extra for it. With the LHN tying up the sip Tier 3 money, they don't have any leverage for a conference network. So no money there either. And not getting paid extra means diluting the current share payout. And no one in the BDF can afford to take less money.

This aint rocket science. Its simple math and x/13 is way worse than x/11.

Your user name is quite appropriate.

Where is uncle mobster when uh needs him the most? Where is all of his support for uh?

Yeah, yeah- that's the ticket!

I can't wait for the SEC announcement on the distributions. If it is close to 40 milion per school, the Big XII will collectively crap.

The Big XII has no avenues left to get additional revenue to match except for escalation clauses over the next 8 years. They are screwed.

They made a mistake. It's a terrible decision. They pile one mistake on top of another. The University of Houston belongs in there and you go pick up Cincinnati, you could do that too. You had to get the University of Houston. That'll cost them in time because Texas & Oklahoma will fly out of the mist. Then they won't have any damn thing."

And even Red is getting in on the propoganda. The BDF minus ou and tu is just the dumpster. It is about the equivalent of the AAC.

Figure if the BDF does dissolve, most of the dwarves would end up in the AAC. Kansas State and Iowa State would be good fits in the MAC. Maybe Kansas could get a hoops-only invite to a real conference.

Do any other conferences feature the "graduated entry plan" for distribution of revenues? Not the case in the SEC. ACC? B1G? It just seems like a bad way to start a new business relationship.

---

The B1G did for Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers because of the exit fees owed. And buying into the BTN.

Penn State as well.

n what way is "no change in status quo" indicative of volatility?

You don't think this was a volatile process for all of the applying schools? The conference basically just told all of them, nevermind, we're good.

Thank you Loftin wherever you are! What a stark contrast to the leadership of the BDF. How does an organization set itself up to make themselves look so completely and utterly inept? They literally went into the meeting not knowing who, but even if they were going to expand! To top it off they had a press conference scheduled to announce results which they did not already know.

So how long until UH joins PAC?

Their PAC invite is in the same place their BDF invite was.

I could see the Big 8 getting back together....eventually.

backlash!

There goes that t.u Houston campus.

media punching BDF in the Tiny Tim

Damn, that roast is on Fox's website.

You Aggies are so lucky to have a great administration that had the foresight to gtfo the big XII. You all are thriving now in the SEC and I am happy for y'all.

Today's news was obviously pretty crappy as a Coog fan but I hope that maybe it's for the best...not sure it's a good idea to be in such a dysfunctional organization in which 1-2 schools hold the rest by their balls. The part that hurts the most, however, is that Herman is almost assuredly gone.

Don't feel bad. There's no way the sips would let in UH with Herman as their coach. Now just make sure the sips don't get Herman.

If you play with a snake and it bites you, don't get mad at the snake. It is just being a snake.

tu and ou are snakes

So glad we are out of that mess

If the league dissolves in 2025, it might be just as well not to be around for the implosion. From a UH standpoint, that has to be the next target, as about the only way I see UH getting in one of the 4 big boy conferences would be as part of a four-team package going to the Pac with OU and Texas. You would have to assume that Tech has the inside angle on that right now, but that isn't set in stone. Whatever advantages they may have on the field, they will always have the albatross of Lubbock around their necks.

Oh, no....

Texas-Houston is still on track. Texas used its time to consolidate its power and legislative allies while playing Mortimer Duke telling Billy Ray Valentine, "Whiskey!". UH doesn't have the political chops nor the allies to take Texas on.

Hmm, while I agree UH is in a weak position, I would think we would try to stop this as well. A&M owns Houston and the last thing we need is a sip campus in the middle of it.

I agree. A&M is the nearest Power-5 school to H-Town (no Big 12 garbage nearby), and also has a Mays Business School location.

Texas already has a university presence in every major Texas city. Houston is the last piece. It is designed solely to eliminate UH.

We have bigger fish to fry. There was a time, 20 years ago, where we were frequently battling the HECB. Now, not so much. I'm not sure it would be smart for us to get involved in this fight. If we start meddling here, next thing you know the sips on the HECB will be supporting a Tech vet school.
