I'd like to see mega-merge threads happen more often

Texas, Texas Tech, and Oklahoma St. have joined OU in having no intentions to sue. I think that means they are all looking West, as speculated.

Baylor Bears won't budge on waiving legal rights until Oklahoma Sooners decide on future, source says - ESPN

I guess Baylor is more attractive than Iowa State just by being located in Texas, but schools like Kansas, Kansas State, and Missouri probably need to find "permanent" homes before anyone touches Baylor.

Kansas and Kansas State would end up in the Big East before Baylor.

This Baylor to BE stuff is nonsense.

Also, it seems that today's A&M rage is directed at the SEC. Dummies.

The four schools aside from Mizzou who all know for certain that they will come out right side up in this whole jumble.

Thought this summed up the Big 12 pretty well...

I'm not sure that they are valuable enough to C-USA. C-USA already has Rice, SMU, Houston, and UTEP. I'm not sure if Baylor really helps them in that state.

I think it's much more likely that Baylor winds up in the WAC or MAC.

Great point. C-USA already has 4 TX teams - Baylor doesn't stack up as being any better than those 4. When their recruiting takes a nosedive after leaving the B12, they will only get worse.

Aside from that, if I was the Big East, I would be poaching SMU or Houston - two TX schools with way more potential than Baylor, and a much better investment for the conference.

Baylor is WAC, MAC, or MWC bound.

Or FCS bound. Yay!

Dunno about the wac... The three programs they have left that aren't total dog crap will be in the mwc starting next season.

Maybe Baylor will end up in C-USA if the Big East takes the Dr's advice.

I actually see the teams left in the B12 adding SMU, Rice, etc. and creating SWCv2 should OU,Tx,OSU,Tech leave the B12.

They could add SMU, Rice, <you fill in the rest> to KU, KSU, ISU, Baylor, Mizzou. I don't think they'd keep the AQ status, but they wouldn't be traveling cross country to play conference games.

Baylor keeps talking up tradition and rivalries, but why didn&#8217;t it plead for those things when SMU, TCU, Rice and UH got dumped? | SportsJustice | a Chron.com blog

lol: @ Texas to the ACC. Texas...We don't believe you. You need more people.

On the bright side the ACC can move the championship game to Cowboys Stadium and make sure the Horns are in it every year so they don't have this:

Thought that was a jaguars home game until I saw the box score.

Wow, did they even make enough money to cover the wages for the staff at the stadium that day? I know sometimes it's not about profit, but just... wow. :birgits_giggle:

And that's a BCS conference, folks.

I wonder what Longhorns fans think of this idea?

Are the salivating at the prospect of soaking in the football game day experience at Durham and Chestnut Hill?
