- They owe the Big 12 all their media money until then anyhow so no positives to leave early. They just lose any chance at a National Title if they - Will Hunting Jul 27, 08:45 1
  - I wonder what convinced A&M to be okay with this move or did they just not have enough support to stop it? -- nm - Krusty Jul 27, 08:48
Buy! -- nm - rollo Jul 27, 07:43
Fuck OU and UT! - Krusty Jul 27, 07:42 14
- And there aren't schools with great sports programs looking to move to the Big 12. They'll end up with some weaker teams and the Big 12 won't be - Krusty Jul 27, 07:44 13
  - I might disagree there are conferences specifically made for college hoops - eag Jul 27, 08:14 1
    - Good point. I hope they don't just stick with the Big 12 while it appears to be falling apart. They're too good to be in a mediocre conference. - Krusty Jul 27, 08:18
  - You're assuming the Big 12 continues to exist in football. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 27, 08:11 8
    - I do assume that because my understanding of how things work in college sports is poor. :-) - Krusty Jul 27, 08:20 7
      - Since we're at the point where geography doesn't matter anymore (i.e. Oklahoma isn't Southeast) - Strongbad Jul 27, 08:31 6
        
        Pac 12 may be a better fit for them especially since Kansas already heavily recruits in California - eag Jul 27, 08:44 3
        
        The issue there is travel. That's a lot more miles in the air and it also affects game times back in Kansas. - Krusty Jul 27, 08:50 2
        
        I hear ya that's why we would have to grab a few Texas schools and mountain schools and have 2 8 team divisions or 4 team pods - eag Jul 27, 09:03 1
        
        They don't play a Big 10 style of basketball but their fans travel as well as any in the sport so they'll want to be in a conference that allows - Krusty Jul 27, 09:06
        
        I hope they have and it just hasn't leaked yet though when does info not leak these days. -- nm - Krusty Jul 27, 08:42 1
        
        Everybody is talking with everybody right now. - Strongbad Jul 27, 08:45
  - Welcome, Rice and Marshall! -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 27, 07:56 1
    - Yay? - Krusty Jul 27, 08:02
ugh -- nm - ty97 Jul 27, 07:42
