All the talk from the Big XII at the time was “The Big XII isn’t unstable. Texas and Oklahoma aren’t going anywhere. The Big XII is going to expand and get a tv network that will bring in huge revenues too. Everything is fine.” It was forward-thinking of the four schools that left to make sure they got off that train before the last stop. If Mizzou had stayed on the basis of that nonsense, as well as the loyalty and tradition nonsense Beebe and others were blowing, where would we find ourselves today, especially with both the football and basketball programs down right now? Not a pleasant thought. Leaving our fate in the hands of UT and OU, and their puppets running the Big XII would have been utterly foolish, and it’s been proved out now. |

Why do people bash Tex but not OU? They’re both moving. Why is one worst than the other? Never understood the hate for either, they’re simply doing what any of the Rump schools they ditched would do. I remember Nubs blaming Texas for removing the partial qualifiers which wrecked your program. A situation that hasn’t improved in your new digs and likely never will. |

I don't see B1G wanting Kansas.
I think the most likely scenario is the BIG 12 trying to add some more schools and crossing their fingers they remain a P5 conference. |

Unless thrown a bone I can't see how they remain a P5 conference from a football perspective. Just no elite FB programs left after UT and OU depart.

OU, Oklahoma State, Baylor, WVU, and TCU have had years when they were elite during that time span. |

True on all, but Texas and Oklahoma have enough pull to keep that conference as a P5. No other program in that league can do that. Perhaps some could go to the AAC and give them the bump needed to replace the Big 12 as a P5.

Arkansas bailed on the SWC. Blame them. And anyway, things happening 30 years ago in a completely diff industry really have zero bearing on today. |

I wish em well, and the Rump schools should as well. If KSU really thinks about all the subsidies they got from Texas, they’d rename their palatial FB digs “DeLoss Dodds Family Stadiun” |
