As I mentioned in another post, doesn't make sense that ISU isn't on the Baylor bandwagon.  Well.... they are.  Since my days in law school (none), I would assume this isn't an easy settlement outside of courts, this seems like a 1 to 2 year deal.  Both school are lucking out due to the brand new tv contract, and if A&M can't go anywhere, neither can OU and the rest which is exactly what Baylor needs... till the contract expires.

There are a lot of Ags, especially on TexAgs that are upset at Baylor and Iowa State, and I used to be one of them.

The truth is, those two schools are royally screwed if the big 12 defaults. I've quoted on here that the move to the SEC is in the best interest of A&M. The more I think about it, the more I realize that it is in those two schools best interest in either keeping the big 12 together, or receiving some form of financial compensation. I can't fault them for acting in their best interest.

Texas A&M's move to the SEC ultimately would happen if Oklahoma stays put in the Big 12, but until that occurs eight of the remaining nine Big 12 schools will not waive their right to pursue litigation against the SEC and A&M, a source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com.

It's now a fellowship!

During Wednesday's call, the source said Texas A&M president R. Bowen Loftin asked if the schools would waive their right to litigation and only one -- Oklahoma -- agreed to do so. Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri, Iowa State, Texas, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State would not, the source said.

OU would be Boromir in the above picture.

Trying to keep all the schools that will stay together.

So, here is what I'm hearing through the grapevine:

UT met with OU to talk about keeping the Big 12 together so they could keep the Longhorn Network.  OU told UT what they wanted to see with the Longhorn Network and UT said they couldn't do that.  OU said they will be leaving the conference then and thus starting the end of the Big 12.

This will most likely take place in the next 2 weeks, but the way things have been going, may take longer.

A&M - Move to SEC
OU - Move to Pac-12
OSU - Move to Pac-12
UT - Swallows pride, gets rid of Longhorn Network and moves to Pac-12
Tech - Move to Pac-12
KU - Move to Big East
KSU - Move to Big East
Mizzou - Move to Big East, SEC, or Big 10 (most likely one of the first 2)
ISU - No clue on this, could be Big East or Big 10
Baylor - Screwed in all scenarios
