Big 12 vs. SEC article on sportsill

You're saying that as a UT fan and it's obvious.

OU gets the majority of the players that it wants from the state of Texas and tends to lose out on some of the in state talent (Mark Brown Bama - Felix Jones - Ark Robert Meachem Tenn to name a few).

Granted some pick one of the home school(s) but OU doesn't have a problem with recruiting.

Hearing you say coaching talent is funny too, especially considering OU and UT probably put the same amount of talent in NFL while Stoops and Brown have been there.

Seeing as how Bama has been a doormat for a few years in the SEC I don't recall too many nfl prospects coming out of there, especially not more than OU.

Now if you're talking about coaching during the game then you're right however if you're a UT fan, Brown is still trailing in the series with Stoops.

Its gonna be like that for some time in Football

BTW, I do not have a problem saying that Stoops is a better coach than Mack Brown, but you cannot tell me that Mack doesn't get better talent than Stoops EVERY YEAR.

I know this is old but man you have no choice but to say Stoops is better than Mack right now.

As for the better talent argument, how are you determining that Mack get better players every year?

Rivals? Scouts? Well I just looked at how many conference championships each team has won since the Big 12 started. OU - 6 Texas - 2 (Stoops - 5 Brown - 1) OU dominating with Texas rejects? Is "Big Game Bob" coaching that much better than Mack?

Texas fucking sucks and OU ain't shit fuck them. Also SEC fans if your team is not LSU or Florida then you need to SHUT THE FUCK UP.

It seems the annual "best conference debate" has taken on a fascinating dynamic this season.

honestly, you cannot put either one over the other.


The big 12 have the potential to become the premier conference in college football IF Colorado, and Nebraska ever get right.

Of course, the quotes above are from 2008.

Last year the Big 12 lost Colorado and Nebraska. Right now, all signs point to Texas A & M bolting the Big 12 for the SEC.

Will there be a Big 12 ???

Will Texas (and its strangling TV deal) continue on with Oklahoma as the Big <s>1</s>2 ? ? ?

damn . . . that looks like a Big Zero

Texas A&M's Expected Defection to SEC
Is a Sign of N.C.A.A. Anarchy

No one is in charge.

For all the billions of dollars, millions of fans and boundless passion that surround college football, that has always been its glaring and bizarre flaw. No one is looking out for the greater good of the game. No one is guiding the sport toward long-term prosperity and short-term sensibility.

No one is building consensus and channeling all of the ratings, financial success and popularity toward an outcome that is positive for everyone in the sport.

And with the conference plate tectonics poised to shift with Texas A&M's possible move to the Southeastern Conference, the college sports world finds itself, yet again, panicking about a major paradigm change.

Imagine if the Kansas City Chiefs could cause upheaval in the N.F.L. or the Baltimore Orioles could force a major realignment in Major League Baseball. That is the situation college football appeared to find itself in Friday, just hours after Mark Emmert, the president of the N.C.A.A., proclaimed that the university presidents, not the conference commissioners, were calling the shots in college athletics.

Will the great conference land rush that nearly happened in 2010 come to fruition in 2011? No one is sure. But the relative calm of the past nine months ended on Friday, with Texas A&M finally finding national relevance by preparing to sprint out of the Big 12 like a kindergartner who had his lunch money taken. That means the Southeastern Conference is likely to search for another team - Virginia Tech? Florida State? Clemson? - and the Big 12, the Big East and the Atlantic Coast Conference will be circling the wagons and reaching for the antacid.

SEC votes to admit Texas A&M if Big 12 members waive right to sue

According to a report Tuesday in the Fort Worth Star Telegram, Texas A&M
is preparing to announce a move to the SEC as early as Wednesday, but
there is one hurdle left to clear.

SEC presidents reportedly met on Tuesday to decide whether to extend a
formal invitation to the Aggies, who informed the Big 12 last week of their
intention to leave the conference next June if they received an invitation
from another conference. Nine of the SEC's 12 presidents had to agree in
order for that invitation to go out.

Orangebloods.com reported late Tuesday night that the SEC had voted to
admit Texas, but that vote was made contingent on each member of the Big
12 waiving its right to sue the SEC over the move. According to the report,
the Big 12 has waived its right to sue, but that waiver is not binding on each
individual member of the conference.

Last summer, the Big 12 lost two members as Nebraska joined the Big Ten
and Colorado left for the Pac-12. By dropping to 10 teams, the conference
lost its championship game.

The Big 12, meanwhile, is said to be looking at potential replacements for
Texas A&M, including BYU, Louisville and Pittsburgh. Citing sources in Texas,
Orangebloods.com reported earlier this week that saving the Big 12 is Texas'
top priority, but if Oklahoma and Oklahoma State leave, it's unlikely the Big 12
could be saved.
