"You'll be hearing a lot about legislatures and regents but it is a smokescreen. There is no Big 12 Conference to go back to. Nebraska hates Texas which hates Missouri. That was in the best of times. Try keeping together a conference with that kind of animosity swirling around. What you'll see next is the Pac-10 expanding to 16. The next move? Seeing if the Big 12 stays together even long enough to satisfy its current tv contract which expires in 2012.. The answer, of course, is no. Get out the machetes, boys. May the deserter win."


Craig Thompson, MWC Commish, mentioned today that officials from Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, and Baylor have all contacted him this weekend...

Nice. I'm a big fan of scooping up KU and K-State. That makes a very good 12-team football conference and an excellent 12-team basketball conference.
