    I guess the bottom feeders will sign the waiver if OU committs. I don't even know what OU would committ to and I can't really figure out why OU would committ.

    Don't nobody yell at me, I am only 39!
    I won't yell at you because I am a mother . . . of children.

      For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

      Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        The circle incomplete, indeed.

        Let's everybody sing: May the circle . . . be unbroken . . . by and by, Lord, by and by . . .

          And OU is most likely thinking...

              What? You think Baylor med and Baylor bears are part of the same school? Lol did you go to med school in Brazil?

                I like that moniker better than "Analrapists."

                  4:20 PM - Baylor may not be the only one wanting to retain its right to sue the SEC over the departure of Texas A&M, a Big 12 administrator tells Orangebloods.com.

                  Kansas State, Kansas and Iowa State also want to retain their right to sue, the administrator said.

                  Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State and Missouri have apparently retained their right to sue but have vowed they won't take any action against the SEC, the administrator said.

                  The only Big 12 school willing to sign a waiver releasing the SEC from litigation appears to be Oklahoma, which has indicated it might soon be ready to bolt for the Pac-12, the administrator said.

                  A statement summarizing a noon conference call with Big 12 presidents should be forthcoming shortly, the source said.

                    This is ridiculous. It is becoming more obvious every hour that neither A&M nor OU have any interest in trying to make the Big 12 work anymore, Texas just doesn't want to lose its whipping boy, and the rest are just freeloaders who are scurrying to try and rescue the gravy train they never earned.

                    Time to blow the whole thing up and be done with it.

                    DeLoss, if you were serious about getting together with Notre Dame to start your own superconference, now would be a good time to get that started...

                    • Books will be written about this saga. The jockeying for position is fascinating to watch. At the end of the day, BYU is in a stable Big 12. I'm calling it now.

                        Just to be clear you're saying in the next 8 hours BYU will be in a stable Big 12?

                          Two teams? To get to 11? Isn't that like the worst number of teams for a conference? Or is the thinking that Notre Dame will join, just not right now?

                              You may want to consider both of his predictions in conjunction with one another.

                                I agree, but I called it when I learned Colorado was bolting for the Pac.
                                I don't think OU or Texas wants the Pac and I don't think the Pac wants OU or Texas.
