Religious organizations are allowed to discriminate based on faith.
The Texas legislature won't let UT go to the B1G without Baylor.
It's a Tech problem, supposedly things have changed with what Aggie did and how Rick Perry overplayed his hand.
Source was a Maurice Clarett $9.95 site if any of Columbus fans have any more info.

Isn't Baylor a private school? I know they have raised a sink in the past when it looked like the Big 12 was about to blow up, but other than having alumni in the legislature, I don't know what legal basis they have in preventing teams from leaving in Texas.
Lol bullshit, big 12 made the second most money last year, slightly behind sec I think. Brining kansas would definitely hurt the payouts with 16 teams. Big ten is a much weaker conference anyway
Is this from the wv guy who hasn't been right about anything and constantly starts rumors?
Also heard kansas and UVA to big 10. Or possibly missouri

From a brand standpoint the b1g is a bigger conference than the big 12.
I think the scrubs are fighting for scraps. Or something.

Idiotic Texas politics aside, it ain't happening as long as the LHN is around.
LHN is pretty much a disaster for ESPN.
Offseason Blues.
Dude of Wv is all onboard, but supposedly it's a big booster from Maurice Clarett U scout site who started this one.
Big 12 payout is going to change if they're forced to add new schools if they need a new conference champ game for Div 4.

Hm that's weird. I just now noticed my U300 package doesn't come with CBS Sports network. I get LHN, but no CBS sports. Guess I won't be watching USC v. Hawaii on opening night.
Hopefully this doesn't become a long process like Miami and he ends up graduating by the time they make a decision. The aggie boards would be fun to watch.
I have my AT&T U-Verse guide handy... CBS Sports Network is only available on U450. Also, only Texas and Oklahoma get the LHN in SD.
I have U300, just like everyone else in CFB GAF.

What they need is wider seats. I know we're getting fatter, but even in the 1950's I'm sure those seats were cozy. They should expand the stadium, but use that expansion to widen the existing seats.

bummer. Oh well I don't think the Big 12 will have any games on that network, I was just looking forward to watching the late night Thurday game of USC v Hawaii.
19.5k. lol math on my part at first
Seems 19.5k could do them good

No.
It will just add 19,500 empty seats when Aggy reverts to its typical irrelevance.

I wonder if Johnny F bought his Longhorn tattoo with his autograph money. Right tOSU fans?
I'm actually getting U200 this week.

Well if he was actually paid, especially in the reported five figures, this is like one of the main things the NCAA should be looking at.
But then again they ignored UNC's academic scandal for the most part. So it's not like they are consistent or actually care about having any integrity. So I guess I agree with your overall point.
Johnny hangs out college bars while he's in college.
Saw Lochte at the Cantina in Gainesville last month.
Lochte is the epitome of stupid.
Nobody is that dumb.
That's a stretch.
If all this is true, he is really dumb. I mean, it's not like he needs the money like other student athletes do.
Still, look at what happened to UGA and Ohio State.
AJ Green misses 4 games over selling a jersey for $1000, and SoOU missed out on a NC over tattoos.

I'm convinced they have a dartboard and they get some blindfolded drunk homeless guy to fire away as new investigations occur.
Institutional Control
Wasn't the tattoos, it was the lying about the tattoos. If they'd been punished and not had the thing covered up then tOSU would have been playing for the MNC last year.
True, the lying was the more pressing matter. But it was a suspendable matter. Remember the whole deal about letting those players play in the Sugar Bowl and take the suspensions at the beginning of the following season? They were going to miss a game or more, over Rings for Tattoos.
Right, if tOSU admin were smart they would have made the players take the suspensions then.

Local news in Houston mentioned JFF was supposed to talk with the press tomorrow for the opening of Fall workouts, but it looks like now he won't be available for the press due to the ongoing investigation. If the NCAA takes as long as they usually do with these investigations, I doubt Johnny will be able to keep his silence for that long.
I bet Jameill Showers is kicking himself for transferring to UTEP. He would have started for aggy this year! ( assuming JFF gets at least a one game suspension )
An I missing something? What did lochte do?
Did jameil showers transfer because of uncertainty with manziel and the draft? He definitely could be feeling like gunner Kiel if manziel gets booted for the year, but not a few games

He also had his own reality show for like 2 weeks before it got canned. No one saw that coming...except everyone sans the network. Obligatory.

Money for autographs you say?
Annual Running of the Gumps was overshadowed by the JFF Autograph story. Shame.
I think this is why Nebraska just went with benches
