Rumors are swirling each direction today with ESPN earlier reporting that Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma state set to abandon the Big XII for apparently brighter pastures in the Pac-10 and Texas A&M bound for the SEC. However those rumors have been superseded by new rumors that the Big XII is now working overtime to try to keep Texas in the conference by promising a new bajillion dollar television deal for a 10-team conference that seems like it would pay Texas a bigger part of the pot. It seems desperate to me, and if I were a non-Texas school I'd tell the Big XII just where to stick it.
The original story about the demise of the Big XII is here.
The new story over at ESPN is here.
Eamon Brennan has another relatively entertaining blog on the matter here. Inside he considers what you'd call a 10-team Big XII. How about Big X, but not "ten," actually vocalize "x." Or something.
Anyway, if I can get the puppy to behave himself I'll be back to post some Missouri Valley ideas.
