    Depends upon whether the Big 12 sues them in some West Texas county with 350 people in it and one judge who is a Tech alum.

    i know the lawsuit seems pathetic and funny but it's also bullshit that ESPN has an agreement with the conference and then also is trying to sabotage the conference with discussions with individual members.

    there’s no way they’d send that if they thought the conference was gonna survive. trying to get as much $$$ as they can before they close up shop.

    I think there is a decent conference to be made out of the Big 12 and AAC. Some of the AAC schools have massive enrollment and would fit in well from a student body perspective.

    Houston, UCF, USF, and Cincinnati all have 35,000+ undergrads.

    If the ACC was smart they would add UCF. I know UCF twitter is fucking annoying. But it's a smart long term move.

    Good preview of how the SEC teams will spend the excess revenue they’re receiving that is ruining the sport. One of these guys is still in their job.
