Conference shake up

[msmith198025]

Thoughts on this?

Personally, I have no problem with the Nig 10 and Pac 10 getting the members that would let them have a CCG. I do NOT like the idea of 4 mega conferences though. Hopefully this will not go through. If it does however, I would like to see Texas A&M come to the SEC to give us an opening into that Texas market.

In a bombshell development that could bring a halt to seismic changes in college realignment, sources tell Orangebloods.com Texas has been convinced by a plan presented by commissioner Dan Beebe to stay in a 10-member Big 12.

UT officials are expected to announce their decision to remain in the Big 12 as early as Monday.

Great news for football fans

Staring at extinction, the Big 12 is once again in play.

The beleaguered conference made a rousing comeback Monday, when Texas declined an invitation to join the Pac-10 and decided to stay in the Big 12.

Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas A&M quickly followed the Longhorns by recommitting to the conference after commissioner Dan Beebe convinced his members they would make more money in television and media deals in a 10-team Big 12 then in a 16-team Pac-10.
