Losses: one financially troubled Oklahoma school. One sharp-elbowed spoiled richey-rich school. (One AAU school)

Gains: Four AAU high level research universities, 300,000 square miles of highly diverse and mineral-rich land, extending almost to the Pacific.
The Big 12 is really almost a vast, diverse empire rather than just a sports conference.

Big East 2.0

Good basketball but not a single major football brand or rivalry game of national interest. Slowly but surely loses ground and money to the FB Power leagues until it breaks apart again because basketball don't pay the bills

But Texas, the conference killer, has joined your conference. It's only a matter of time the SEC implodes and splinters. You invite the Devil into your house, it's on you.

If I were the Aggies, I'd be looking to the Big Ten or even rejoining THE TWELVE.

The luring away of your baseball coach to Austin was just the beginning of the vivid nightmare A&M will not be able to shake, even when they open their eyes and see the morning sunlight.

Stay tuned...

Surely it comes with its own message board, right?

THE TWELVE Message Board:

"It's sure great to be part of THE TWELVE!"
"Yes, it sure is!"
"We rule the world!"

<crickets>

"I guess I'll go over to a rivals board to remind them of that. They've probably forgotten."

You know, at first I was pissed at what the liar did, not any more. I am pumped with the new staff, just like when the liar left tcu, not a single player is following him. We have a chance of being even better with a ton returning talent.

I'm not worried about the sips at all in the SEC at all. They came from a conference of little sisters who were afraid to stand up politically to them, the ran roughshod over the conference as a result. They are entering an extremely strong conference, where everyone gets a votes, their entitled attitude is already drawing the ire of the other schools. I'm going to be eating a lot of popcorn, with my feet propped up watching them get shown their place. I love their hubris saying we're going to run over and rule the SEC, heck they couldn't even win the weak bdf with any consistancy- losing regularly to ou, but, tcu, ksu, isu, heck they even lost to ku from time to time and tt every once in a while.

Congrats, Big 12. You excised the cancer, and as a result, you have a better chance of succeeding now than ever before.
