    That goes back to DeLoss statement:
    When there is no sentiment to hold the BIG 12 together, Texas and a school like Notre Dame should start a new Conference.

    1. U. T. Austin: Discussion and appropriate action regarding delegation to act on matters related to athletic conference membership and contracting
    Interesting use of words.

      Putting this together tells me that Texas and ND might likely apply to the B1G. ND might do it for everything but football. In all reality, Texas fits better there than anywhere else.....except for the Big 12

        Don't bank on that one.... Stem Cell research is still a big NO NO with the Catholic Church.

          True, but this matters bupkis when it comes to conference affiliation.

          And Notre Dame isn't the Catholic Church. They are independently run and have locked horns with their local RCC bishop in the past, and probably will in the future.

          If they'll give an honorary degree to the most pro-choice President in American history, they'll participate in a conference with schools that do stuff they don't approve of.

              I wouldn't let it get you down. I think contracting is the best term for having BYU join your conference.

                    As of now hearing OU is leaning towards staying put and taking a boat load of cash from #big12. TAMU will leave BYU expects to b added
                    EDIT: Then he qualifies it:

                    Again, this is the talk right now and it could change over the wknd. This thing has changed so much in two wks #big12

                      Saying that, methinks this will drag on some more time but when the dust settles BYU will be in the Big-12, Max Hall will have big ears and Senioritis will have both a closely shorn scrotum and face!

                            1. Be president.
                            2. Be more pro-choice than your predecessors.

                            1 is the hard one. 2 takes a little doing, but compared to 1 its a gimme.

                              • TCU may be looking for yet another conference in the future...

                                Syracuse and Pitt in Talks With A.C.C.
                                By PETE THAMEL

                                Syracuse University and the University of Pittsburgh, two bedrock members of the Big East Conference, are engaged in talks about joining the Atlantic Coast Conference, according to a source with direct knowledge of the talks.

                                No one from Pittsburgh, Syracuse or the A.C.C. denied the conversations were taking place. Officials from all three entities declined to comment on the matter.

                                The person with knowledge of the talks declined to speculate on a timetable or the seriousness of the discussions. But in this delicate time for conferences and their futures, the discussions between the 12-team A.C.C. and two Big East members are significant.

                                The discussions show how the trend toward 16-team super conferences that has concerned many college athletics officials appears to be inching closer to reality. If Syracuse and Pittsburgh switch, the move would be difficult for the Big East to overcome. They are two of the conference’s most important programs. Syracuse is a founding member, and Pittsburgh joined the league in 1982, three years after it formed.
