So you would say it is 100% that Missouri is going to the SEC?

It's 100% if UT refuses to give in to Mizzou's demands. Thus far, they have shown no interest in doing so. UT now has to try to figure out if a MU exit means OU/OSU reconsider their commitment to the Big 12. If so, then they may consider backing off their hardball stance.

I don't know what OU and OSU are going to go unless Boren was telling the truth about not being rejected or unless the PAC 10 reevaluates and thinks they have Texas where they want them to give in. Texas has no reason to give in to Mizzou though because the give in money is greater elsewhere.

Ok, but even if Oklahoma reconsiders their commitment to the Big 12, where are they going? The Pac-12 said no, and they can't bring their little brother (Ok. State) to the strip club (SEC)

Lots of factors still to play out. What happens in Big East, ACC, and Big 10? Do any of those conference make further moves? Does Pac-XX see other options or reconsider a previous stance? Does SEC reconsider opposition to OSU?

The problem for some of these conferences is that they face a watered down product if they don't get the prime candidates still available in the B12 and Big East. Texas is quickly reaching a point where even a renegotiated B12 1st tier contract may not increase the $$$ per team just because they'll be bringing in what amounts to mid-major schools as replacements to get the conference back up to 10-12 teams.

Seems like inviting Rutgers and Missouri at the same time could be a bad move, assuming the goal is ND and Texas. Isn't there the possibility then of both the Big East and Big 12 being destroyed at the same time and merging into one conference, potentially including ND? Neither the BE or B12 look so great now, but a conference of Texas, OU, ND, WVU and whoever else looks pretty good.

The problem with the B10 theory from Swaim (assuming it's correct) is that there were a lot of bridges burned last year with the snub after working together for several months on a move. Given the relatively short time frame on the move this year, I don't think there's enough time to mend that situation and put together a deal. I think Mizzou (assuming Texas doesn't change their stance) is going to go to the SEC.

Is that the kind of comment a pro-Big 12 Mizzou administrator leaks? "SEC is second banana to the B1G in our eyes." I guess this is something the SEC knows and presumably doesn't care about (since by all accounts it will never happen), but I've come to the point where I have to scrutinize every single reason for every single piece of info that comes out these days.

When this all shakes out, you're gonna have Texas (overbearing power hungry assholes), Missouri (overplayed their hand, tried to play all sides and got left out), and West Virginia (less popular than cholera, academics in the toilet) all together collecting the scraps from other conferences to try and patch together some credibility.

As well you should. Every story has an agenda. This obviously was someone from part of the small academic minority that thought the B10 was a better option.

Mizzou doesn't have any credibility issues. Mizzou reacted both last year and this year to other schools' decisions. There's nothing wrong with finishing something that was started by someone else. The nice thing about going somewhere else is that we won't have the issue of the blame game that Texas and the B12 office constantly play through the media. Hope they enjoy what's left.

ND won't join for football, and if they do decide that their hand has been forced they'll go ACC or Big Ten, at least that's what I believe.

I'm still trying to figure out why they'd give up the option.

I assume the concerns from some of the other schools have something to do with a perceived recruiting advantage (or something of that nature). As far as I can figure, there'd be nothing stopping a school from doing the same sort of thing on their radio network or even online as part of the rights they haven't signed away.

The jealousy that other schools seem to have about Texas astonishes me. Hell, I'm sure that UGA folks (that are familiar with the details at least) are envious of the way Alabama & Auburn made both their radio networks more profitable by agreeing to share some workload at one point but I never heard anyone bitching about it/trying to block them. Instead they just went out & found a way to improve their own situation.

Or SI or the AP....

EDIT: I don't think he would disagree with the info. The Big Ten rumors were first and the The Big Ten is a better fit, but The Big Ten wanted Nebraska instead.

It does...MO originally wanted it for 13 years...Texas agreed to the 6 years to tie in with everything else....

This was my first question:

Is this expected to keep Missouri in or is it an admission that Missouri is out?

Yeah, I should have made a longer post. There are several reports (mostly in the twitterverse that the Big 12 has reached some sort of "agreement" with regard to TCU.

Confused by this:

Quote:
According to both sources, Alabama wants to look East and not risk losing its annual game against Tennessee, while Auburn favors adding Missouri and moving to the Eastern Division.

If you add 2 western schools (Mizzou and aTm), then 2 schools have to move east. I just assumed Alabama and Auburn would both move to the east, and that would solve the issue, right? Alabama would play UT every year as a division game, and Auburn gets what they want. So if Alabama is concerned they would lose the UT game, and you need 2 teams to move east, who would move with Auburn?

I guess I'm confused on the Alabama thing. How does adding an east coast team save their UT game, and why wouldn't them moving to the east division save it?

That is confusing wording. Supposedly Alabama wants to stay in the West without losing their yearly Tennessee game. Auburn wants to move East.

Here's some further analysis of that article:

Alabama | MrSEC.com

Edit to say: What you're saying actually makes more sense to me, although it would make the East pretty ridiculous with UF, UGA, Alabama, Auburn and Tennessee.

And South Carolina. Vandy and UK might petition the league to allow them to play a home-and-home against each other each season!

Under your plan the East would have 8 teams and the West would have 6.

Obviously if Auburn moved to the East, they would be Bama's permanent cross division rival. The plan that I saw yesterday would actually have Missouri in the East and then they could be cross divisional rivals with aTm.

Actually now that I think about it, that wouldn't be balanced:

East (8):
Alabama
Auburn
Florida
Georgia
Kentucky
Vanderbilt
Tennessee
South Carolina

West (6):
Texas A&M
Missouri
LSU
Arkansas
Mississippi State
Ole Miss

Edit: And digamma beat me to it.

I think I was thinking of a 16-team league, where 2 would need to move.

So the issue here for Alabama is that they could only have 1 cross-division rival, which would obviously have to be Auburn, but doing that would cause the UT game to go away on a yearly basis, right? I think I got it now.

Yes, that's the basic issue.

TCU to join Big 12 in 2012-13 - CBSSports.com

If true, I do not want to see what the blood bath and gnashing and wailing will be like on the BYU boards......

A Michigan insider is saying ND to the ACC is quickly on the way to becoming a reality. No idea how much he actually knows about this but I find it interesting. My guess is if they do go to the ACC then Michigan and Michigan State will stop scheduling them.

I figured Michigan was going to stop when they got to a 9 game BT schedule anyway. They've have to have 7 home games every year instead of 8.

It wouldn't shock me. I know Brandon wants to schedule more marquee teams to get buzz. ND is clearly a marquee team but he wants diversity on the schedule. We'll see how that goes.

I think he'll look for more games like Alabama in Dallas, but not so much home and homes with major teams.

I guess somebody needs to bring this up every 10 pages or so. The only moves so far have been A&M (which a lot people saw) and Syracuse/Pitt (which some people said but no major news reported on). And the other 2000 posts (1500 without MBBF ) have been pure garbage. Just thought it might be important to remember with ND headed to the ACC and about 40 teams joining the Big 12 today.
