re: B12 Contacted Arky

Wishful thinking but the SEC isn't going to replace a top 20 Cash Cow, Arkansas.

correct?

is the big 12 allowed to contact a school about leaving their conference? I mean, the SEC technically was not supposed to court aTm until they announced, correct?

sounds like more UT bull shite.

Exactly-->tortious interference, use this leverage to get Baylor to drop their claims...

“I think our program is such that there are a number of conferences who would love to have us as a member,” Long said following a speech at the Northwest Arkansas Touchdown Club. “But we are strongly committed to the SEC and I’d be surprised if we weren’t reached out to by other conferences about joining them.

Spoken like a Strong AD. Now, we just need basketball to come back and we will be in the best shape we have ever been in our history.

I'd see it more like this:

Beebe: Hey guys, are you interested...

Arky: Hold up, let me put this on speaker.

Beebe: Ok, Are you guys interested in the Big 12?

*roar of laughter*

Beebe: *click*

I see it more like this:

Beebe gets Jerry Jones to call:

Jones: "Good morning, gentlemen. Jerry here... now we all remember those good times back in the late 60's, early 70's. Those were fun days, that's for certain."

UofA: "What do you want, Jerry? We already committed to playing in your house every year, okay?"

Jones, "Well, this is not about you, or me, or the university or even the kids. It's about... money. Lots and lots of money. And it's all on the table for you. Right now. In fact, That Nike owner was in here the other evening, and I just can't stand to think about someone other than me owning, er, benefacting a college program in the way that 'ol T-Bone up in Tulsa and yours truly can. You smell what I'm cooking?"

UofA: "We smell something, alright, Jerry, and we just checked the soles of our shoes to see if we'd stepped in something, 'cause shite don't fly, at least here around Fayetteville. This is an SEC team now and we plan to stay that way."

Jerry, "Now, hold on... I'm not here to ruffle feathers, but let's look at the practical side of this. Money, money, money, money. Is that practical enough for you?"

UofA: We got money. We got $20 million+ a year money."

Jerry: "Oh hell, did my wallet fall out, again? Just kidding! No, really, I'm not. Is that mine? Now men... we all know the success I've had at selling. Look what I sold to Arlington? They ponied up a half-billion and will never get it back, but you know what? They don't care, 'cause I'm Jerry Jones and people love me. And when Arkansas associates with the Big12 and Jerry Jones, they're going to love Arkansas, too, the same way. Yes, sir, they are."

UofA: *crickets chirping*

Jerry: "Hello? Did I lose you?"

UofA: "Uh, Jerry.... we are really flattered, but.."

Jerry: "Now, now... you guys can thank me later. I'm just going send a courier right over and we'll button this thing up and I'll call Jerry, Jr. in to hash out the little details."

UofA: "Jerry, I don't think you understand. We..."

Jerry: "..are beside yourselves. I know. Me, too. I hate it when people finish other people's sentences, but, I just am more tickled that a 10 year old school girl with her uncle."

UofA: "Jerry, we honestly don't know what to say to get you to understand."

Jones: "I understand completely. Why with UT out of the picture we'll start a whole new Red River rivalry, only we'll call it something else, something snappy, like maybe, 'The Jerry Jones Classic'. catchy, right? Am I right? You know I'm right! Jr.? Write that down and get marketing started on it right away. I don't want someone snatching that up and copywriting it before we do. Can't put it on a tee-shirt if we don't own it."

UofA: "Would someone on the other end please just shut him up?" *laughing* *hangs up*

Jones: "Boys, I feel good. You feel good? We should all feel good. Ever since I got my face pulled back into a perpetual grin, I feel happy, you know. Just can't stop talking about it. What were we talking about? Who was on the phone?

Somebody hand me another one of those Red Bulls. Man am I ever glad we got them as a sponsor.

What's next?

Hey! has anyone seen my wallet?"
