LOL. I'm so glad we're out of that conference. What a disaster.

slmandel Nebraska, Colorado were very wise to get out when they could. They'll find it refreshing to have a voice. 21 minutes ago
slmandel That call gave me no reason to believe there's anything stopping that league from crumbling again a year from now.

I am sure NU and CU will end up paying, but our Chancellor Harvey Perlman seems to believe there really is nothing in the Big XII bylaws that can really enforce the penalties. Perlman used to be our Law Dean and unless he is totally BSing (not his style) there might be something to this. Basically Perlman says the bylaws say that if a team leaves the conference and there are liguidated damages the team leaving owes the other teams they "damaged" monetary penalties.
Well the Big XII just cashed in just ask Beebe himself! Furthermore they may have NU and CU to thank for their new cash cow tv deal. This could hardly be considered damages to the remaining Big XII schools.
There has to be some emotional damage to ISU, Mizzou, KU and KSU, right? Can they claim that?
Wow. It's all snowballing. I wonder if Texas Tech is going to approve this. Be very interesting if they went to the Pac now.

Also being reported on message boards (can't find a link, so take this FWIW) that South can leave whenever without penalty payment. Lesser schools can't leave for 18 years without penalty payment. This is a conference within a conference.
Have you guys thought about this?
Those five North schools signed off on something that UT, OU, and A&M might not collect since NU and CU might not owe one penny?
Why is A&M considered a big boy?? Seriously, I think Mizzou and Kansas have more athletic panache...
Huge alum base in Texas = lots of TVs watching their games. I think if you get a degree from Aggyland you are required, by the other 49 states, to stay in the state of Texas for the rest of your llife.
