Yes. Apparently B12 only needs 8 of 10 votes to add members.Wait a minute. You mean we may have to play BYU before we leave???
Good to know we can share not very good money with 4 more teams. I hope ESPN figures out a way to pull the Band aid off.Yes. Apparently B12 only needs 8 of 10 votes to add members.
John Kurtz and SI are reporting that — by next week — invitations and applications could be sent by the Big 12 to:
1. BYU
2. Cincinnati
3. Houston
4. UCF
It is unclear whether BYU will get a full, or football only, invite. Meanwhile, Andre Ware has gone delusional, and is advocating UH hold out for a PAC invite.
Conspiracy theories are floating around that ESPN will blow up any deal and destroy the Big 12.
And the Joe's Crab Shack bottom feeders game between Kansas and the loser of the UH TTU game.Ha! As 365 Sports pointed out:
Maybe now we’ll see the “Landry’s Big 12 Championship Game.”
(better put it on your calendar, Sabre…)
Could be enjoying some brewskis with that delightful spinach artichoke dip they serve…
Expecting more of this after B12 adds Cougar High.

I suspect TTU is ready for the red tag on the away team section trick. But with no one in the stands running the goal post into the opposing team's section won't be that dramatic.Well, if there’s one thing Houston Cougar fans are known for, it’s class.
Jenkins was the perfect match with that program.

No need for police to show up.
Round up the usual suspects...They are too busy chasing the driveby shooters outside to get to the car thieves in the parking lot much less a fight in the stadium

And now, Holgorsen follows the Jenkins legacy fairly closely.Well, if there’s one thing Houston Cougar fans are known for, it’s class.

He has been phenomenally successful running casual sit down dining restaurants profitably—something that’s difficult to do. I read somewhere he is the only living billionaire by way of casual sit down dining restaurants. I know he’s a lightning rod of controversy, and some on these boards really don’t like his restaurants. That’s good for a few tongue-in-cheek laughs here from time-to-time.Tillman does a good job at his restaurants except hire experienced servers and cook staff. He has to save money somewhere and that is where it goes.

I keep seeing this being reported, but I've seen nothing on these schools actual interest level in joining the conference. Has anyone seen any interest in these teams joining the Big 12? We assume invites wouldn't go out without interest, but with bowel movement in charge it wouldn't surprise me if they all say no.
The biggest threat to survival of the Big 12 was having it's "best of the rest" poached ny the AAC. Attack by taking the AAC's top teams is survival defense that makes sense.Why would they act so quickly. If there was a brain cell in Las Colinas, they need to sit down with the TV people to see what the $$$ are with and without the addition. Since none of the four bring any TV sets and following (other than BYU, whose fans will watch on TV, but not attend) If the eight can get $25 million each for TV versus getting $18 million when split 12 ways, why do it? Ticket sales? NO! Travel income? NO! Why do it other than give up $$$.
Would I prefer that to the SEC? Nah, but at least 3 of the invitees would up average attendance and TV appeal of the Irate 8.Crockett
I disagree. Taking teams that can't average 20,000 at home, have zero TV appeal, have no following, and don't travel does NOTHING. Who do they think is going to poach them? Southland, WAC, BigSky? It's the Big XII or shuffle the deck on the "who cares conference".
