Posted by Sandbagging Steve,

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.

Bowlsby has very few bullets in his gun, levers to pull, etc, here so he’s doing whatever he can to preserve some semblance of his conference (and job).  At this point, I don’t believe that OU and Texas are in breach of their contract, so UT and OU are not parties to the current BIGXII BS.  But this is just the beginning of a huge shift.  Buckle up, dis gon be gud.

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

Inducing someone to exercise their legal right to terminate a contract isn’t tortious interference.  

My understanding is that pretty much nobody who is deucing from the Big 12 right now has any intention of paying the buyout without litigation a la A&M and Mizzou back in 2011--notwithstanding all this talk of "2025". If ESPN is encouraging schools to follow suit then there'd be a problem. 

But yeah, something tells me that ESPN is basically texting Big 12 programs saying "u up?", in which case Bowlsby can get fucked.

Once you saw the shift in real-time where the Looch and the others started posting positively about the move and how it was actually a good thing this was clear. They got their marching orders and were told to shut the fuck up about it.

I think it was the opposite.   Aggy got a talking to Friday night/ Saturday morning, and looch got his marching orders to support it. .

What's Bowlsby settlement end game?  Merging the B12 with the AAC?

He could be commissioner of a pretty damn good basketball conference if he played his cards right. But that's about it, and I have no reason to believe he'll do anything intelligent in this situation.

I was actually lumping Looch, the administration, and the athletic department all together when I said "they". Functionally there is very little separation between TexAgs and the institution.

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.

 

it's the equivalent to the Swagcopter Down meme a few years ago, magnificent

Pretty sure he’ll never be commissioner of anything else after that letter he sent.

Bowlsby is such a wanker. It is the worst kept secret that ESPN does this shit. Exposing it does nothing but hurt the schools he is suppose to serve. Good luck going back to ESPN during renewal. Fox will be the only bid.  NBC is all but out of CFB, and CBS likely will pay shit. SO dumb.

Today is only 7 days since the leak by aggy.  Think of the entertainment we have witnessed in that time.  

It is also the first notable leak from aggy not witnessed by Taylor Hamm.

Oh hey, gomer gave his approval,  looks like it's a go after all. 

Just sit back and watch those mouth breathers try and change the narrative that they allowed UT to enter the SEC because they kindly decided to save little brother from obscurity.

They were told to get right or get fucked, the SEC was tired of their childish nonsense, so it was their choice. The SEC just needed to know which way they were heading. That was Saturday morning after the ATM BOR agenda posturing on Friday night. Liucci and company were crawfishing before lunch on Saturday. Totally dickless.

Espn conspiring with the American? LOL! “Hey KState, how about you join the AAC, forego the buyout money, and we promise you’ll only lose $27 million a year instead of $30 million!”

Yeah that would be the worst conspiracy ever, lol.

Yep. “Doors right behind ya” as the ole miss klansman said. We’ve got about 100 people lined up to take your place. A few actually worth a shit too.

So wait

Aggy is pissed and butthurt

The irate 8 is pissed and butthurt

ESPN might be in a bit of trouble (unlikely but the last week doesn't make me all of a sudden pine for Paw and Fat Herb so fuck em if they are)

2021 you magnificent bastard.  We beat OU in October and I'll read your book!

Haha, yeah this is dumb. While it's probably generally true that the presidents won't want to testify, this thing is a LONG fucking way from that being a real concern for anyone. Both Universities have a ton of outs to avoid it before it gets anywhere close.
