I hope this happens. We have a logical alignment of major athletic conferences by region, and all this shuffling about trying to pull in more dollars would not improve the game of college football for the fans.

We’ll have to recruit two schools to replace Nebraska and Colorado, or else eliminate the conference championship game.

New name for the conference will be Red River Shootout and Friends.

As a Texas fan, I personally would rather see a combination with the Pac10. And Dan Beebe has been an abysmal commissioner.

I agree....bring TCU and SMU into the league and they can rename it the SWC....

Texas needs to leave the Have Nots behind in the Big 12 and mover on to the PAC 10.

For every story out there saying the Big 12 can be saved, there are two or three saying that the Big 12 is dead and the Texas teams will be leaving over the course of the week. I’m afraid I tend towards the later.

I hear they’re going to merge with the Big 10, forming a new conference called the “Awesome 22.”

This explains why Gene Stallings, in our morning paper, says that he wants to save the Big 12 league, if it can be saved. Barring that, he’s all for the SEC.

Here’s hoping, but this contradicts ESPN’s reporting. Let’s hope this one is right.

Texas knows that the PAC 10 offer must include A&M. And A&M may go to the SEC. Texas wants no part of the SEC nor do they want the AGGIES in the SEC. Makes too many SEC schools doin’ too much recruitin’ in Texas.
