Looks like the "save the big 12" campaign has real legs.

So it'll be UT and the Little 9?

I think it is a bluff.

It will die, it's nothing more than spin to make A&M look like the bad guy. Screw'em, I don't mind being the spoiler for the left overs that would become a sorry excuse for a conference.

I would really be surprised if that happened. No way they get the same money and REALLY no way they get more for having fewer teams.
Only way they save the Big 12 would be to find two good teams to join.

We will see.........think it is Texas' only chance to save face. Tamu should just do it, heard they have the votes to pull the trigger.
I honestly don't care what I hear until it is official.

This is probably legit. UT got exposed for who they really are. Now they are trying to save what they can of their image and look like good guys. I had a feeling this would happen all weekend.

so do i, and if A&M calls their bluff TU will find a way to weasel out and run to the BIG10 IMO

I thought it was a bluff until Liucci's most recent twitter post.
Hopefully this goes the way of so many of these rumors in this saga, but is sure is a troubling wrinkle, IMO.

We need Gene Stallings to come through in a big way.

TAMU needs to give everyone an out. Conditions of TAMU staying in BigXII-2....
1) equal revnue sharing of conference deal to all conferees...
2) no individual TV contracts (or equal revenue sharing of such).....
UT will not agree (unfair to them)...TAMU will claim thay only want equal footing... Irreconcilable Differences!!!!

So why dont they just call it the SWC and get it over with? The Big12 lite will sink most likely.

be patient
this year or within the next couple Big 12 will collapse. They are just not going to make nearly enough money to compete (as a conference) with the other major conferences
Texas will still end up bolting for the PAC 10 IMO. They are just hoping to force A&M to move first so they can paint them as the team that undid the Big 12
But the house of cards had to collapse when Nebraska left - in a football sense the Big 12 is now just the states of Texas and Oklahoma.

A&M is on the verge of getting owned in an epic manner if they end up staying in the little 10 when an SEC invite is supposedly on the table.

ESPN is likely offering to pay more to keep it together. They don't want to lose the Texas markets to Fox via the PAC-?.

No way, please say it ain't so.

If so, no SEC soup for you.

Regardless of the money on the table......TAMU NEEDS to DEMAND equal share of the television contract proceeds. Without this, they will NEVER climb out from under UT's shadow.

Joe Schad is reporting that Texas' participation is dependent on A&M staying put.
If true, expect a lot of lobbying by the Big 12 teams about to be left in the cold, such as Baylor and Iowa State, against A&M instead of against Texas, who is the one actively screwing them over.
