That seems to be the most recent update. Jon Wilner, the guy with the pulse on Pac-12 expansion, is reporting that Texas is more likely to remain in the Big 12 and rebuild. This falls in line with much of the earlier ideas about the future of Texas. In the ideal world for Texas, they [...]

Now that Texas A&M has officially been invited to the SEC, the college sports world is preparing for what will happen next. But like any change, it is not without the unnecessary drama. And today’s drama comes from the clingy, about-to-be-dumped spouse, Baylor. Think of the Big 12 as some sort of kinky group marriage. [...]

Well, it’s official: Texas A&M is leaving the Big 12…and will at some point soon, join the SEC. The big question will be how much it will cost. The Big 12 will first need assurances by their TV partners that the contract will remain as is, since there is a provision in the contract that [...]

With Texas A&M officially leaving the Big 12, much of the focus has been on what the Big 12 will do to replace them. While there are a number of legal issues (mentioned below), the Big 12 as we know has been planning for any and all scenarios. So the potential for a lawsuit by [...]
