IT'S JUST A MILD FORM OF EXTORTION
The share of the buyout money from Nebraska and Colorado that would have gone to Baylor, Kansas, Mizzou, ISU, and K-State went to Texas, TAMU, and Oklahoma. Two-fifths of every touchdown scored by the Scrapple Conference leftovers will be subtracted and divided between the Longhorns, Sooners, and Aggies, as well. This policy will continue until further notice--The Management.

The leftovers are quite upset, and are still waiting on that 40 acres and a mule they were promised, also.

Is Mizzou an AAU member?
if so, they’re going to start labeling themselves “Chef’s special” on Delany’s menu.

Mizzou is an AAU member
and apparently, most people think we had already labeled ourselves the chef’s special back in December when we expressed an interest in the Big 10.
But Delaney went with the good old reliable comfort food of Nebraska and said, “We’re good.”

Our problem is:

Nebraska had an option.
No way OU would ever get into the Big 10. What other option did they have but to bend over and take it?

I guess it depends on how big the buyouts are this time.
If they’re not too bad, I’ll say within the next two years.

Dearest Friends and Conference "Equals",
I heard a rumor that some of you may wish to use your testicles this weekend. Please remember that they are kept in my desk drawer, and that 72 hours advance notice is required to check them out. All balls must be returned to my possession by 4 p.m. Sunday. And don’t you dare make direct eye contact when you’re doing that.
Sincerely,

Announcement from Texas to the rest of the Big XII-II
The beatings will continue until your attitudes improve.
I think this comparison has been made before, but I think this is even more apt now:
Big XII North: “Please, Texas, we really need the money. I’ll sell you the mineral rights we’ve got left!”
Texas: “Those wells are dry. Slant drilling. Imagine you have a milkshake, and I have a milkshake, and my straw goes all-llllll the way over to your milkshake. I. Drink. Your. Milkshake! I drink it all up!”

12th Man Blog Notes on Big 12 Commissioner Dan Beebe's 6/15 Teleconference
(posted on The Ralphie Report http://www.ralphiereport.com/2010/6/15/1519413/12-man-blog-notes-on-dan-beebe-6#comments):
You can’t make this stuff up. This summary of the Big 12 teleconference today by I am the 12th Man, the SBNation Texas A&M blog, continues to show us why the Buffs made the right move to get out of the Big 12-2. Here are a few juicy parts but their are plenty of others worth your time at I am the 12th Man:
I just listened to the Dan Beebe live teleconference on the ‘new’ Big 12 Conference; some observations:
-Texas Tech has yet to commit to this new deal; he is hoping they do so later today. (I believe their Board of Regents meets today?)
-There is no official agreement from all the schools to stay together, just promises, handshakes, and commitments. Technically, this means there is still room for negotiations with other conferences, should a school still be inclined to leave.
-There are no concrete numbers on the new television deal; it is all based on just estimates. I guess no one in the A&M leadership has ever heard the phrase, “Make sure you get that in writing?”
-The “Forgotten Seven” (Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech) are going to take their portion of the penalty payouts from Nebraska and Colorado and give them to Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and texas. Yes, you read that right, those five schools are so happy to be able to remain in a BCS conference, they are bribing A&M, OU, and texas to stay here with them.
-Beebe is incredibly defensive of texas; seemed to bristle anytime someone questioned their role in this whole melodrama. I guess Dodds didn’t tell him how he was supposed to answer those types of questions.
-Beebe was asked how he would respond to people who said this whole situation was just a major powerplay by texas? His response was, “texas has a lot of influence.” Facepalm
-Beebe said several times that Texas A&M, texas, and OU all had other conferences looking at them, that all three had other options, so it was essential to give them a bigger piece of the revenue pie to keep them in the Big 12.
I was under the impression that OSU and TTU were neither giving nor receiving money. Did that change?
by AllSaintsDay on Jun 15, 2010 3:05 PM EDT up reply actions
When Texas loses a few games.....
…to A&M, OU, etc., this house of cards will fall faster than you can say Lane Kiffin. Dominance in college football is a very fragile, fleeting thing, and Mack Brown has consistently underperformed given the extraordinary talent at hand.
Right now, UT is the drill instructor’s favorite, and the rest of the Big12-2 are his platoon mates who are sick of his shit and waiting for him to fall asleep for the blanket party.
Nope.
Sorry to burst this bubble, but Texas was like this under Mackovic back in the late 90s when they were mediocre at best. It has absolutely nothing to do with the product on the field and everything to do with UT’s egomania.
Anyone dealing with Texas should remember Sen. Thompson’s line in The Hunt for Red October: “This thing will get out of hand, and we’ll be lucky to live through it!”
"...when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to."

So let me get this straight.
1. Get your own tv network
2. Get to keep all revenue from said network
c. Get five useful idiots to give you money not to leave home
4. Get to brag about your “selfless” act of saving the conference
Conclusion?

TV in the SEC
I don’t know about c. and 4., but the SEC’s been doing 1 and 2 for quite a while now. All this talk about the “Bevo network” is a little overblown. It’s just Texas being able to market some tv rights in with other media rights so there can be a little more even footing (since SEC teams are currently 7 of the top 11 in terms of annual media rights sales) at the upper echelons of college footbaw.
I’m not sure that this arrangement is the best for the long term stability of the Big X(II), but it really just puts Texas on an even footing with Florida, Alabama, Georgia and Ohio State (and, now, Nebraska).
Robbery? Yes. Ballsy? Of course.
I tip my cap to thee, Longhorns.
Up next
1) A “leaving the state tax” for all visiting Big 12 teams.
2) An “orange surcharge” for fans who don’t wear enough of the approved colors.
These knuckleheads will be happy to pay.

Texas is setting this up to fail on purpose, but not before they have time to get their TV network going so that any future suitor will have to let them keep it.
