Wait, I guess that applies to both. I'm not picking the SEC is the point. Maybe they can settle this with a tractor pull.

yes lets add a private god school that was what 15-181 since it's arrival into the big 12 in big 12 games? LOL

Baylor is just doing this because they know that when (not a matter of if, but when) the Big 12-2 blows up that they're off to CUSA or Mountain west.

I love how the big 12-2 gives TAMU the guidlines on leaving and they go ahead with said guidlines and then get held hostage... let em sue and lock it up in litigation for so long that they give up. Baylor and Texas Tech were lucky to even get into the the big 12. They should feel good about the gravy train they held onto for so long. Besides TAMU has a pretty good overall record in in it's history.

Texas is the sole reason why they big12-2 is imploading. What's funny is that Texas fan's and alumni think that their Sh*t doesn't stink and that the world revolves around themselves and it's evident in your post.

WTF are you talking about? I'm a Texas fan now? And where exactly did I comment on the reasoning behind the potential fall of the Big 12? It's obvious that's Texas' moves are at the crux of it, but that doesn't change that Baylor and the other Big 12 schools have the legal ability to throw up roadblocks.

Baylor with 2 ok seasons sandwiched by decades of bottom feeding does not make them a candidate for the SEC, nor should they be in the BigXII. They need to be in CUSA or any other tier 2 conference.

I'm pro superconferences, it just make sense for DivI ball, and anklebiters like Baylor getting in the way is just annoying.

Screw the conferences!

How about a promotion/relegation system like the English soccer leagues?

4 tiers of 20 teams each, top 3-4 teams get promoted, bottom 3-4 get relegated. Create Eastern and Western divisions within the tiers, you play everybody in your division. The top 4-6 teams in each tier are in a playoff.

Why not? Oh yeah, $$$

A&M screwed up by not wanting to go in on the network with UT when they were asked 4 years ago, then when UT was about to sign the huge deal asked if they could get a piece. Dodds said no because he put in 3 years of work on it and wasn't going to let A&M ride in at the end and take money. Now they are crying about UT's network deal when they in fact are the one's who screwed up.

These signs behind the cast on college game day get funnier every year.

Valo, if Plaxico didn't shame you enough as a Spartan, this will seal the deal: http://detroit.sbnation.com/michigan...state-football

McCarron is going to give me a heart attack eventually. He's a borderline interception on 50% of his passes. Tide still rolling thankfully.

I'm down in Miami (to watch the dolphins disappointment me) and spotted that dbag on the sideline out of the corner of my eye while half drunk, nearly threw a bottle at the tv. Hollis is an idiot for that decision, makes us look like a joke. I hope the alumni base lights him up for it.

its on the package if you order it

TSN has the rights to these ESPN games but has shown Nascar/Tennis the last two weeks on TSN/TSN2

which is why Boise/Georgia wasn't on last week either

ND vs Michigan was one hell of a game... Denard Robinson is not a good QB.. He can run sure but man he is a horrible passer.

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suck on my salty balls golden domers. Oh, that was a glorious game. Denard just playing NCAA 12 with his throws, I can't believe Michigan won. Seriously, at halftime I thought it was about to be a 30 point rout. Well frikkin done. TCU/Baylor has nothing on this, best game of the season so far.
