    No now that Michigan is back in the drivers seat in the rivalry they should play twice a year...replace the OSU game with another MSU game.

    ...or an Iowa/PSU protected crossover since they are losing Nebraska in this hypothetical.

    Did OU become more of a B1G institution?

    No, B1G became more of an OU league

    As a Michigan fan I’m going to have to say no. Should Kansas want to join us, I will welcome then with open arms, even offering them a chance to become our permanent rival.

    Also I support local journalism, but the Houston Chronicle is not local to me so they can fuck off with this paywall.

    Agreed but we all know the board is more or less told what to do by people with money. And those people will never give any Aggie any credit. Enough of them will have to die before this is even considered.

    This is clearly a propaganda play by Brent, especially when you consider Bjork has already commented on it.

    While you make a good point and this is likely a negotiation ploy, it is kinda funny to think what happens to Tech in this scenario.

    Kinda makes me want to join only if the SEC agrees to get rid of Aggie...just to see Bjork's reaction alone.

    I thought Texas would be too prideful to follow A&M but now that I see how much it would piss the Aggies off it makes some sense.

    Nebraska and BYU to the Big 12, imo.

    To even out the B1G, Rutgers goes to the Patriot League.

    I feel like shit has to go far further downhill for Texas to join. I get why they're potentially interested, but actually taking that step?

    The only way for the B1G to one-up the SEC adding Texas and Oklahoma would be to kick out Purdue.
