Well which comes first? The invite or the application? I'm pretty certain that in the case of CU, the invite came first, and the application was a formality.

beware the habu
Rumors down here include Okie lite powers are being very mum on the situation (of course, it helps having Gundy fodder), and boomer prez Boren is no where to be found.
This is really getting fun.

awesome, looks like they finally got the internet in Kansas. good for them.
I'm having a hard time figuring out why OU is so bent on hitching its wagon to UT. They have enough clout to go pretty much wherever they want, and yet they seem to be happy to be a passenger on the ship that UT is driving. Not sure I understand that.
OU just sits back, smiles, lets UT look like the arrogant asses they are and watches the same type of money roll to OU as to Texas. They have the best of both worlds.
link?

That sounds like a bunch of spin to me. It sounds like A&M wants desperately to go. They told the whole world they were going, and then found out they aren't wanted. So they're backtracking by saying it's a technicality. Horse feathers. You line this kind of stuff up first before you go shooting off your mouth. I think they did this in order to extort more money or influence out of the Big 12 and it backfired.

Read the TexAgs twitter feed. A&M's president talked about the Big 12 bylaws especially the exit $$$ stuff...not much different from NU's president when talking about leaving the Big 12.
Does anyone know if the SEC can redo its TV contract if they get another team to join? That is the only reason that I could even think about to add aTm. They don't need Texas recruiting, they dominate with what they have all ready.

You think the SEC is going to ignore the possibility of having the Dallas Metroplex and Houston TV markets in their TV footprint? You think Larry Scott would ignore that as well?
I listened to a bit of Finebaum online today (man that is just another world of sports radio) and he had Liucci who runs Texags.com on. Liucci claimed he had heard some indications that OU is finally airing some displeasure with UT behind closed doors and pointing the finger at them. They may be looking around and realizing that they may be looking at all the competitive relationships they've had for 100 years going away, and their only real options for credibility being to play on the west coast, in a league they despise (the SEC), or in a crappy league that has no national credibility, all so UT can make more millions when they already nearly double all their conference competitors. The fact that there are rumors that they approached the Big 10 about taking a (likely former Big 8) foursome may mean they realize there are other options to their death pact with Texas.
Summary of today:
A&M Board of Regents approved giving authority to the school president to move to the SEC if he so inclines.
However, president seems to have no ****ing clue how to make the move, or what the consequences would be. :rofl:

The US public has approved giving authority to B. Obama to run the USA.

Righhhht. And Bachmann and ATM dip**** are better choices. :rofl:
no, just a digg at who's there right now.
Fair enough. Don't want this to be a politics thread. ATM may be going to the SEC, but I think more news would be leaking by now if that were the case.
The SEC.
Yes, that's one possibility.
I don't think it would be possible for any more news to be leaked - no one is keeping their mouth shut on this one. The SEC is trying to expand to 14 or 16 teams, A&M has a huge boner for the SEC, and they are making moves to try to get there. They now have the authority to join, but they are working with both the Big 12 and the SEC to see if this is possible.
unpossible.
