      I hope not given that she has been dead for about five years.

          I just hate to lose the narrative.

            but if she DID that would be very persuasive, I would think.

              Don't worry, we have plenty of other fictional narratives offered around here.

                Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

                    Except the guy is talking about selling Baylor on the Big 12 short term and the Pac 16 long term.

                    I don't get why Texas would try to push aTm to the SEC. The whole thing is bullshit.

                        Agree. Baylor will join the PAC-16 when Ann Richards personally steps in in all her resurrected glory. I would think Baylor has a heavier millstone around it's neck then BYU in the eyes of Cal Berkeley and Stanford.

                        Correct. Perhaps more accurately, politics will prevent OU from abandoning Okie State. If it was just up to the Sooners, Okie State would be real, real gone.

                        • Apparently Chip Brown has been working on a big story and "fireworks are imminent". The speculation is that A&M is going to announce before Sept 1st they are leaving the Big 12 but Baylor is going to put up a legal stink as an attempt to force them to stay. Baylor has plans to expand their stadium but is unsure about its future in the Big 12 (not being in the Big 12 may nix those plans).

                          • Twitter is buzzing that today is the day aTm ditches the Big12. Which, has been like just about every other day.

                              Well like Uncle Ted said, Chip Brown is working on a big piece about all of this according to OrangeBlood's other main guy Ketch.

                                Interesting. Can you imagine if BYU (backed by a religious organization) had used it's political clout to stop Utah from moving to the PAC12.

                                Are the Baptists that powerful in Texas?
