Or Aggy coming back to Big 12

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.Quote:
Is it paid for?
Has it been 100 years already or maybe its just that 2020 lasted so long.Quote:

I wonder if Rhoades had wind of this potential exodus..say when Mulkey was in process of leaving?CorsicanaBear said:Can't really tell.

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.Bexar Pitts said:I wonder if Rhoades had wind of this potential exodus..say when Mulkey was in process of leaving?CorsicanaBear said:Can't really tell.

Ken Starr is the reason we are not in better shape at this critical time should it occur.
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 last time we had to go through legal maneuvering like this, we had a former Solicitor General of the United States leading us. This time we have a Woke Okie who goes around looking for racism under statues.

Indeed
Nice of us to commit hari kari on our football program before a re-ordering.
At least we already swung the basketball national championship
If A&M had any sense, there was a no UT clause in their SEC contract. But they are A&M, so they probably did not negotiate that clause.

The article says that ACC and the PAC will follow and get to 16 as will the Big10
There are currently 64 P5 schools + Notre Dame = 65.
Only one would have to go.....

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
