If they did part ways, i'm pretty sure they'd still play annually. Though it obviously wouldn't mean as much.

Even without ND that would be a nice revenue bump for the conference.

If NE is for sure switching is there much doubt MO will be following? And if CO is also bolting, dooming the Big 12, were does that leave Kansas?

There's alot of people thinking too that Mizzou was even more likely to jump than Nebraska

But cant that be reworked sometime? I mean even if they leave the Big12 then it will take a year or so to work it all out, in that same time could they not rework TV and $ sharing deals?

I'm told one of the problems is the teams at the top (well, mainly Texas) don't want to rework it.

Apparently they've met since at least 2008 talking about changing their revenue distribution, and each time they have come out of the summer meetings keeping it in place without change each time

The Big East won't fold... At worst, they fold in football and stay around with the bazillion other teams they have for all other sports but football. Their basketball probably makes football money.

ND isn't going anywhere. They have all the money they need. It's not the most, but it's more than enough. They get to keep their own TV deal, and they get the sweetest deal in college football.

I think all it takes is Nebraska to say 'yes' to the Big Ten which I can definitely see happening. Missouri and Colorado add to that. The Big XII is the only conference in danger of folding here. I think it will.

That's a bunch of bull. They will take more money. Besides, the long-term outlook for ND is on the decline if these power conferences form.

Possible but who are you going to replace Colorado, Nebraska and Missouri with that even keep you almost as strong of a conference?

While TCU, Houston, and Utah or some teams like that may be decent at football now, they are not major college football players historically and make the conference much weaker.

They are going to be left the crumbs. Utah is on the Pac 10's short list. If they don't get that invite they stay put.

TCU, North Texas, Houston, and Rice all wind up in the Big 12.
UCF, Memphis, and Marshall to the Big East
Troy, MTSU, and Florida Atlantic to CUSA

If I asked a random Longhorn fan whether they'd rather beat OU and lose to aTm or lose to OU and beat aTm, I bet 90% pick the former


aTm : Texas : OU
UCLA : USC : ND
Mich St : Mich : tOSU
NC St : UNC : Duke

sorry, but it's true
