Looks like NU, Missouri, A@M, Colorado all saw the writing on the wall years in advance. T.O could smell Bevos stink many years ago and warned everyone. All the pussies aka KSU, ISU, etc who jumped into Bevos bed and gave us grief for leaving.
. Who's the dummies now?? Suck it old Big 8. You sold your soul to the Texass devils. Live with it. Ha
No.. show me horns down. But I've got a question for you? Is the Big 12 the last conference you intend to destroy with your arrogance and greed? Or do you plan to destroy the SEC like you did the SWC, Big 8 and Big 12?
Just to clarify, I have no say in what a university does or does not do, I'm just a fan. To answer your question, Texas hasn't left a conference since the 1920's. The Big 8/SWC merged and been there ever since. Ill give you arrogance but if it was greed, wouldn't OU and Texas have taken the offer presented to them Sunday? And lastly, isn't in your best interest if there was no SEC? You should be wanting the SEC to fail.
That would be ideal for Texas and Oklahoma.
I suspect they overconfidently thought they were on the level in recent years since they played competitive football with Oklahoma and Texas. It was never about that. They should have been smarter.
True. The pukes will find out the hard way that strong arming Bama and LSU won't be as easy as doing it to the Clones and Kitties. Sorry Texass you just went from the big fish in the small pond to little fish in an $EC ocean. Your big hat routine isn't impressing anyone in the $EC. I feel sorry for A@M. It's like an abusive relationship. Can't get away.
This is exactly right. No way Texas and OU want to stay until 2025 and they have been counting all along on the Big 12 just dissolving very quickly once they announced their departure
I agree. All rivalries aside I truly liked every venue I visited while going to games in the old Big 8 footprint. Even Boulder. And I do worry that small communities like Manhattan Kansas or Stillwater will be hurt badly by this if they are left out in the cold.
The TV networks are heavily involved here. They want the teams playing in the SEC as quickly as possible. Multiple reports of this. The reports are saying that the networks could be picking up the penalty fees from early departure so OU and TX could be playing either 2022 or 2023....2023 seems more likely. Networks are playing a large role in working out the details.
Pretty much every B12 school not named "Oklahoma" or "Texas" has been left out in the cold.
This has been my thought all along. Why would OU and Texas be worried about penalty fees? If the SEC and the networks want this to happen, then the money isn’t an issue. They’ll make ten times what they pay out in fees within 5 years. That’s not a penalty, that’s an investment.
Texas and Oklahoma aren't worried about any buyout fee. They know if the leave the Big 12 it collapses quickly and there is no conference left to pay. The other teams already are exploring options to go to other conferences.
I thought I smelled something on the board.
