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.

Here is what should have happened several years ago in the Big 12: 

1.  The Big 12 should have looked at the landscape, known that the clock was ticking on the current arrangement and looked to aggressively expand.  By aggressively I mean gone after meatier schools then whatever that piss poor display they put on back in 2016.  Pac-12, Big 10 maybe even Arky, it all should have been thrown out there.

2.  They should have done all that knowing you don't put on a condom unless you're gonna fuck and if that plan didn't work there needed to be a lights out plan for the conference to start the very process that is now taking place where the outcome is getting its members into the best possible situation for the long term future.  Of course now it's a panicked clusterfuck.

That would have required a visionary leader who could coach his member schools.  It also would require member schools that were capable of being honest with themselves, who they were, what they were capable of.

This conference has a buffoon leader who probably spent a bunch of time telling a school like Baylor how great they were instead of praising them for their achievements but consistently having honest conversations with them about their perceived and real weaknesses that would mean that in the lights out plan they were never going to have the same opportunity as a Texas or OU but that they could still have the best opportunity for Baylor. 

The conference also has a bunch of C,D,F team players who can't look themselves in the mirror and be realistic about who they are, what they are actually capable of and what that most likely means for their future.  EVEN THOUGH doing that would certainly have helped them make a better, more thoughtful and less panicked plan on how they would pursue that future.

Why was Texas and OU not trusting and forthright and honest in this whole thing?  Because you can't have honest dealings with a person or entities that can't be honest with themselves.  

The Big 12 should have added the Arizona schools and ... that was their only move.

I embrace the hate. These schools would leave for greener pastures in a second if they could and had that opportunity. Texas doing it first pisses them the fuck off and they are pissed they couldn't get such an invite first, if at all. All this grandstanding is hammering home the point that Texas was, is, and forever will be the school that runs this state. Fall in line or get the fuck off the track. 

Which is it, Texas is the only reason you're relevant or is the reason you're not?

These schools are trying real hard to screw themselves

Can't pay your own bills ? Here's your options. 

1. We welcome you as UT-Waco / Lubbock / FW , and burn half your admin down to the ground 

2. You new conference will be all texas schools minus A&M and Texas from here on out 

3. All your non-conf games will be all texas directionals 

 

 

Don't be greedy. It can be Texas A&M-Waco. Aggy can own the rape/murder coverup history

Yes, ha ha. TCU has beaten us a lot. Now go enjoy your half empty stadium in 2 years. 

You mean the WILL NEVER BE FULL AGAIN stadium for lizard football.

The same for the rest of these shitty schools that are about to receive their long-awaited station in the real world. They refuse to accept their shame!

TCU and Baylor backed the wrong horse. Instead of chasing research dollars, they chased football championships. 
 

There’s a reason why Rice doesn’t give a shit about football. They make significantly more money on research grants. And oh yeah, they improve society while doing this.
