I don't think OU will wind up being a wallflower on this in the end, Boren said. I do not know with certainty what our final decision will be....There's no school in the Big 12 more active than we are

That's the problem with OU. They simply lack the smart people to pick up a calculator and do some math. Them winning the big 12 each year yields a bcs game which allows them to bring in more money then 99% of football teams. Only the other powerhouse universities that make the NC game bring in more.  I suppose I should watch a couple more big east games this year. Time to start winning more fball games and get our butt kicked in bball.

So Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech are probably headed to the Pac 16. That leaves. Iowa State, Missouri, uk, K-State and Baylor left to pick up the pieces, or does it? What if ISU, MU, KSU and uk jump ship to what is now the Big 10/12 and turn it into the Big 16? I don't know what would happen to Baylor but I'm not concerned about that. How does that sound? I kinda like it.

There are a lot of scenarios. Maybe I've become jaded or just extremely pessimistic when it comes to "things turning out good" for K-State, but I don't think it's going to end well for us if the Big 12 dissolves.

OU's sole focus now on joining Pac-12
University of Oklahoma sources are indicating the school's focus is squarely on joining the Pac-12. By nature of Oklahoma State president Burns Hargis' comments Saturday, it would seem OSU is also focused on the Pac-12

Word on the street is that today will be a big day for the big 12...or rather the last of the big 12.  Texas A&M is set to leave officially to the SEC.  OSU/OU will be announcing that they are pursuing other options (going to the PAC).  KU/KSU will probably be heading to the Big East.  Mizzou may be the 14th team for the SEC, or could go Big 10 with ISU.  Texas Tech is dependent on what happens with Texas (Pac or Indy).  Baylor is screwed in all situations...

Baylor might be making bank on A&M.  Could go independent for awhile.  Half of that is a joke.

I'm amazed that Baylor is the loan wolf in this fight. Almost like a White Knight trying to keep this league together. I would think ISU would try to help but nothing...

Other schools are saying they would like to keep the Big 12. Baylor is the only one making threats. Guess they need too, just surprised they are the only ones.

I hear Baylor is refusing to waive their right to sue aTm & the SEC.

Would the Big 10 seriously consider ISU?  I didn't think they would meet the academic standards.

Big 10 took Nub and they are the only school who isn't a member of Association of American Universities.

EDIT:

Nebraska was a member of the AAU when it was invited to the Big Ten in June 2010, but was voted out just before officially joining the league in 2011.

I guess they might not have.
