The Arkansas AD has just said that Arkansas was approached by the B12. That would pretty much stifle any chances of lawsuts against the SEC succeeding.

That is preposterous

Iowa St has more to lose than any other team yet they remain quiet.

It's about to get REAL interesting and might actually become TOPIC RELATED if OU agrees to stay and let's the others jump ship. The B12 doesn't want to lose it's power Texas nor OU. The B12 will then most definitely have to look for replacements. So who would they replace all those departures with? BYU for starters. Boise State would have to be a serious candidate. And, wait for it.......MEMPHIS! Say whatever you want but the fact is that Texas is about to have to swallow their pride and check their ego and take whatever they can get without downgrading the conference. Basically if Memphis does get in it means that we become Texas' *****. But that's fine with me. Bend us over and we'll proudly take it like a hooker. Just as long as we get paid afterwards.

Are they touring the airport first?

What if A&M goes independent for one year? Then decides (wink wink) to join the SEC in 2013. Anything Baylor or any other existing Big 12 member can do about that? Seems drastic (lost revenue for one year, other sports would be hampered too), but would it be possible? Would it be worth the trouble?

Just a different slant.

The SEC will pay whatever $$ to shut up the other teams before they go for that, I would think.

That and try to put together a FB sked. Not reality.

If Baylor does that, are any of the following out of the question regardless of statute of limitations?

1. Houston, Rice and SMU sue Baylor and the Big 12 for their complicity in the destruction of the Southwest Conference.

2. Those of us left behind in C-USA in 2005 to file a class action lawsuit against Cincinnati, DePaul, Louisville, Marquette, South Florida, TCU and the Big East for their departures. We can even use a direct quote from Mike Tranghese about Virginia Tech not being able to play for a national title since possibly being shut out of a BCS league in the legal proceedings.

2A. Well, maybe not DePaul. Despite "delivering the Chicago market" (yeah, right), they have no fans. So who be in receipt of the civil notice?

Quote:According to BYU-Football.com, recently independent Brigham Young Cougars would accept an invitation and join the Big 12 when and if Oklahoma will pledge its commitment to the conference.

BYU had long been rumored to be one of the frontrunners for a spot in the conference left by Texas A&M's eventual departure, as well as the possibility of the conference dissolving. Reports surfaced Tuesday that the University of Arkansas had been contacted about joining the Big 12, but no progress was made.

The move to potentially add the Cougars comes the day following the SEC announcing that they would be adding Texas A&M, pending the remaining Big 12 schools pledging not to pursue legal action. However, in the same release it was announced that at least one Big 12 school was unable to let the Aggies leave and had threatened to sue both the conference and commissioner Mike Slive. Later Wednesday, it was learned that eight current Big 12 schools would not agree

The Cougars competed in the Mountain West Conference from 1999-2010, before officially becoming a Division 1-A Independent in July of 2011. While competing in the Western Athletic Conference for more than 30 years, BYU claimed one National Title in 1984 under head coach LaVell Edwards.

According to the report, the move could be announced as early as Saturday.

Boom goes the dynamite! Now back to our regular scheduled CUSA debacle.

NOTHING ABOUT CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT IS TIGER RELATED. Wolken already proved that, right?

More like Brett McMurphy but still the same.

But TC said...... (Oh never mind)
