He is great. Brutally honest.

Ags need to go. B12 won't survive realignment. Ags don't belong with those liberal Jesus haters in the Pac 10. B12 will prob combine with Big East.

Rumors are flying about a possibly Big East, Big 12, ACC merger if A&M knocks over the first domino. Here's how I see it possibly shaking down:
UT and TTU go to the Pac 16, which will could lift their silent ban on religious schools and add BYU and bite the bullet and invite Boise.
A&M and Missouri to the SEC along with FSU and VT from the ACC to give them 16.
I just have a hard time seeing the P12 taking TTU AND OSU. If OU can get away from OSU they'll go west with TU.
The Big 10 would syphon Syracuse, Rutgers, and Pitt from the BE as well as adding ND.
So I see the pool of the BE, B12, ACC remaining teams as:
BE: UCONN, SFU, TCU, WVU, LV, Cindy
B12: OU, OSU, BU, KU, KSU, ISU
ACC: BC, Miami, MD, UNC, Duke, NCST, WF, Clemson, UVA, GT
In one division you'd have:
TCU, OU, OSU, KU, KSU, WVU, LV, Cindy
In the other:
UCONN, BC, UNC, NCST, Duke (you can't pass up the basketball), Glemson, GT, and UVA/MD.
You might be able to change out UVA or MD with LV or Cindy and do some more geographic restructuring but you get the point.
The leftovers will be South Florida, Baylor, ISU (probably headed to the MAC), MD, WF, and Miami. The rest will go to CUSA, minus one. It will probably come down to a pathetic Baylor or a possibly death-penalty stricken Miami. All things being equal Miami is a no-brainer but we'll have to see what happens.

No, its done. Gone.
This game has been amazingly played by the A&M brass. I am shocked.

It's the Big XII. Not that hard to outplay them. A three-year-old could beat them at tic-tac-toe.

Can the BIX please stop talking about Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Louisville, and Arkansas? What are these self-righteous folks smoking? I'd say even BYU is a long-shot. They should be more concerned with keeping Missouri, KU, and KSU who are probably in exploratory talks with the Big East right now.

their fans are in the biggest state of denial I've ever seen. Also, their arrogance knows no bounds, which I already knew but am still shocked by.

I don't think they're willing to believe they killed the golden goose.
What are they going to do when the Big East throws a proposal to Missouri, KU, and KSU with a minimum payout of 17.9M per football school and 12M for the basketball schools? The football school getting the least amount will still get 85% of the school getting the most. I think under the new TV contract Beebe brokered Baylor would get the least at 9M and UT, A&M, and OU would have received over 25M annually.
