How many teams will be left when the dust settles in a few years? I think there's a way for all the teams to still have some involvement. I will explain that at the end of this list. Here's my list of the top 32 programs and a list if it goes to 48. There's some debate if it goes to 48, but not much debate if it stops at 32. I guess one could debate Arizona State, but that's about it. The top 32 at least come close to carrying their own weight. Everyone below that line is losing money for t

This is great content for free.

Aggy should abstain so the vote is 13-0 and then we can then brand it on their dog.

What in the fuck is this idiot thinking? He’s just ensured that this weakened and dickless conference is going to war with ESPN, Texas, OU and the SEC, at a minimum. Each of those entities have more money, clout and lawyers than the Big 12 conference. All of them but OU have enough firepower on the legal end alone to blow this clown into a decade+ of numerous lawsuits that he’d never climb out of, or the Big 12 itself. Christ. 

Also, he’s attempting to blow up the ability for several programs to find a safe landing spot with a conference that is about to be able to pay them something decent and get the conference elevated to autobid status. It’s unbelievable. If I’m one of those schools, I’m calling on a vote to fire this dumb motherfucker for cause literally tonight. 

Posturing like Baylor did with aggy on the way out? And the phrase that pays returns...tortious interference!

Let's assume, for the moment, that the 8 stay together, Bowlsby settles down from his from his rager, and some calmer heads start talking things out for the conference in the coming days about possibly inviting other schools in.

What fucking school would want to join a conference led by Bowlsby after today?

Talked to some Stanford BMD buddies who know Bowlsby from his time at Stanford. Said he’s a giant idiot. 

Was never impressed with his job as commissioner, particularly coming after the job Neinas did during his interim period which was bad ass.

Now he’s acting like a complete idiot and it all makes sense why Texas and OU are out of there.

Ole Bob’s gonna fuck up the IR8’s landing spots

Pretty obvious that this is his intent.  He's doing everything he can to prevent them from leaving, flinging crap against the wall and hoping something will stick.  It's... remarkable... to witness.

I am just at a loss on this…

Even if this is true and you have proof of it, you use this as leverage on the parties involved, not use it to pick a very public cat fight that won’t stop Texas and OU leaving, and now may have scuttled the possibility of ever getting an agreeable media deal and potentially jeopardized the landing spots of 3 to 5 members…

In hindsight, this whole GOR business was as terrible of a decision as we all thought it was back when it was signed. 

I disagree.  It appears it will be every bit as toothless and meaningless as the exit penalties.  It's certainly not stopping your school or mine from doing exactly what we want to do, at this point.

And in a year, after it's all been negotiated and settled, I think we'll find we're paying substantially less than the B12 will be asking for initially.

A better question might be if you were hiring, what position would you hire him for at this point? How far down the org chart do you have to go before you get to a position you'd trust him with?

on behalf of the hundreds, possibly thousands of people checking in with this thread a few times a day, some of you need to stop getting your collective panties in a wad about having to scroll past a reposted video or photo.

that american hustle meme is delightful and should be stickied to every fucking page.

All the bitchmade responses from all parties feeling wronged certainly solidifies that behind the back secrecy was ABSOFUCKINLUTELY the right way to handle all this.

 

Hey Rooskies, we're building a bomb to beat the Nazis and Japs (no disrespect to the Orientals).  You want in???

I wonder if ESPN was trying to sweet a new AAC deal by pushing the other 3-5 schools that way since the SEC Networks would be the real prize?

That's what Dennis Dodd says, but he loves to troll the Big 12.  I can't see any going to the AAC until the league totally implodes.  If there are 3 to 5 left, they raid the G5.

Well those remaining better hope Fox pays up because ESPN is no longer going to.

He's at retirement age.  I figured he would retire with the GOR.  He's 69.
