It would suck for us but would be hilarious to watch aggy get whipped every year by OU & TX just like old times.

Or Aggy coming back to Big 12

Is it paid for?

Can't really tell. As of the 5-31-20 FS there was $579mm of Notes and Bonds payable on BU's balance sheet of which you have to figure some is for the stadium. But not really sure.

Has it been 100 years already or maybe its just that 2020 lasted so long.

I wonder if Rhoades had wind of this potential exodus..say when Mulkey was in process of leaving?

No question. No way he's interested staying at a non Super Conference school. Ego won't let him be satisfied with that. So, as this plays out it's just a matter of time. Biggest paycheck rules the day with AD's....just like head coaches.

Ken Starr is the reason we are not in better shape at this critical time should it occur.

Spot on. We'll need a Starr level legal team to maneuver through this mess. Not a team of "group huggers" singing We Are The World.

I'm told Texas A&M and Missouri would be a hard no. Only 2 more needed to block an invitation to Texas, OU.

Made a few calls. Column coming. General feel is that Texas was going to essentially explore free agency after this TV deal. Independent? ACC? SEC? They were going to be active. "There’s too much chatter and conversation behind the scenes for there to not be some truth here."

The article says that ACC and the PAC will follow and get to 16 as will the Big10

---

SEC + ACC + B1G + PAC12 x 16 each = 64 schools.

There are currently 64 P5 schools + Notre Dame = 65.

Only one would have to go.....

---

The only problem I see with that argument is it assumes no one outside the current P5 cuts in line. I see BYU, Boise State, UNLV, Colorado State, Cincinnati, Memphis & UCF just to name a few all campaigning for spots. All are better positioned geographically than the Big 12 leftovers.

I doubt OU bolts if Texas doesn't due to being vetoed thus far evidentially.

That math is assuming that one of the G5s that have raised their football profile like UCF or Cincy that might make more regional sense in B1G or ACC don't jump ahead of some lower tier P5s

(Oops, looks like me and Brian the Dog posted the same sentiments at the same time)

All of that ass-kissing he has been giving UT over the years has availed us What exactly?

This is why acting weak and desperate is always the wrong thing to do. Yet it is what we always do. Amazing.

Big 12 board of directors held a Zoom meeting this week, I'm told, with no inkling about possible departures by Texas and Oklahoma.

So if Mizzu and Aggy are voting "no" there would only need to be 2 more "no" votes to squash this.

SEC bylaws clarified in June 2011 clearly do state that 3/4 of the 14 SEC members would have to approve Texas, OU joining the league.

— Kirk Bohls (@kbohls) July 21, 2021

Chortle, Chortle at Texas in the SEC. The thought of that 900 pound diva shoving its way in and ordering everyone else around is comical.

Can't wait for the OU and UT AD's to go into a SEC meeting demanding things as the SEC Commish and other schools giggle in their faces before telling them to sit down and STFU -- they don't run the SEC.

Aggy, Mizzou and Ark would no vote. I bet there will be another school that likes to recruit Texas that could vote no.

I will add this. If they let this get leaked and they do not make it into the SEC, that is just damn embarrassing for the B12 conference. The leak makes me think it is very serious. This would be like proposing on the Jumbotron and getting turned down.

---

Perhaps it was leaked with the motive to kill the move.

Maybe. Gomer AD already went public against it. He may be trying to rally b12 state legislatures to help kill it as he gathers sec no votes.

LSU might vote "no" just out of spite just to get back at UT for "AC-gate"

Was this the real reason Kim decided to go home to Louisiana? Why the basketball arena has not been announced?

No

Losing ut and OU is an unmitigated disaster from which baylor sports cannot recover.

Houston Chronicle says it's pretty much a done deal. Just waiting on the announcement.

"The University of Texas and University of Oklahoma have both talked to the Southeastern Conference about the possibility of leaving the Big 12 to join the SEC, according to the Houston Chronicle's Brent Zwerneman.
Adding the Longhorns and Sooners would give the SEC 16 schools and leave the Big 12 with just eight, possibly opening the door for the University of Houston to join the league it has had its eyes on ever since the Southwest Conference dissolved in 1996. Of course, the SEC going to 16 members could trigger further conference movement with the ACC, Pac-12 and Big 10 all looking to move to 16 school as well.

Could be. Zwerneman (who broke the story) has been an Aggy beat writer for years (first for the SA express-news, now the Chronicle) and is about as big an Aggy homer as there is (naturally, he's a SHSU grad so he's a poser). Would be surprised if would post a story that would be in opposition to the Aggy party line.
