baylor just being a crybaby.
Exactly. They realize the teat of money from being in a BCS conference, bowl money, tv contract money, etc, is running dry and they're about to be left twisting in the wind. Regardless of if they join the MWC and it becomes a BCS conference down the road, they'll never see the kind of money they get/got from the Big 12 between all the bowls and money that brings in, and the big TV contracts that Big 12 has. Their money teat is drying up, and they are scared as hell.Quote:

This morning the latest report is that only Oklahoma is waiving their right to sue A&M, meaning the other eight schools are now standing together. However, those eight schools will let A&M leave if Oklahoma promises to stay in the conference.
Yeah, that's what I read overnight. Oklahoma is waiving their right and have no problem with A&M leaving. The other schools apparently were alright with them leaving, or at least weren't publicly opposed, until Baylor started threatening lawsuit, and then everyone else besides Oklahoma jumped into Baylor's corner. It's hilarious though. This the Texas 10 Conference, and it's not Texas, nor is it 2nd top dog Oklahoma who is sitting there shouting and threatening lawsuit and screwing everything up for A&M. It's pipsqueak, (no one gives a damn about), Baylor. :DQuote:

true....their president is kenneth starr, the judge who ruled on the clinton-lewinsky ordeal. but their time of riding the coat tails of texas and oklahoma are over. they need to nut up and just accept it that they'll no longer get free money for having a crappy football team.Quote:

lets get back to match ups. No one really cares about Baylor and where they go or dont go..the only thing that interests me is they won last week and appear to have one heck of a QB
Baylor? Powerhouse? 20 years ago? They had a few good years when Mike Singeltary was there but they were never a powerhohuse. They were in the SWC since it's inception and only won 5 championships.Quote:

That out of the way it looks like BYU wants in but only if OU stays.

Sounds like Baylor and Iowa State will nor have any kind of legal ground to stand on unless they can prove that the SEC initiated contact first.
BYU needs to make up their minds
If I was BYU I would stay Indy, no sense in going to a crumbling Big 9.
Because they know they're leaving soon too, and don't want to screw themselves by setting precedence. They're watching out :)Quote:

According to ESPN, Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State have all agreed to waive their right to sue. Basically it's the freeloaders in Baylor, Kansas, and Iowa State who are refusing to give up their right because their free money trains are coming to the end of the tracks.
Sure, Baylor has had one or two good years recently, they've had some big upsets. Kansas has had a couple good years, etc. Regardless, as opposed to the power teams in the Big 12, Baylor, Kansas and Iowa State are just freeloading money grabbers. They realize their bottomless pot of gold is slowly coming to an end and they are scared shitless. That's all. Nothing more, nothing less. They just want to keep getting their free handouts of money from the Big 12 powerhouses.
Like I said earlier they have no ground to stand on unless they can prove the SEC initiated talks.
just saw on espn's ticker that the big east is attempting to reach out to missouri, kansas, kansas state, baylor and possibly iowa state to get them to join their conference should the big 12 fall apart. the pieces are beginning to fall into place now.
Very smart move. That would just make an insane basketball conference even better.Quote:

Ok, I know the WAC is desperate for football teams right now before they disappear completely as a conference. But my God, they seriously went reaching for anyone they could when they added UT-San Antonio. UTSA just lost today 24-21 to Division III McMurry. The same McMurry who lost 82-6 just the week before to Stephen F. Austin. There is no way in hell UTSA is ever going to win a game in the WAC.
At least they will be a challenge to play with in. NCAA 13 :DQuote:

and
The War Hawks’ win over UT-San Antonio marks the first time an NCAA Division III school has defeated an NCAA Division I scholarship program since Rowan did against Albany in 2000.
That said they do have a former Hurricane coach at the helm and by gosh next year some national exposure.
Well, anytime you add a school to a football conference that doesn't have a football team at the time, it's probably not going to go well.Quote:

A giant waste of the schools money.

Texas and OU meet. I find it interesting that no other schools were invited to the meeting.
