Report: Pac 10 Commissioner Kansas City Bound.

But y’all might want to put out some hors d’oeuvres or something.

You know how we constantly complain about having to play Texas, Oklahoma, and Texas Tech the same year in football for two years straight in our current schedule? If we go to the PAC 10, we’ll be playing these teams every year permanently . . . and yet I’m ecstatic about this news. That’s how fucked up this whole deal is.

I’m sure Arkansas wants a rematch.

Per Carlton, Kansas and their storied basketball program would be moved upon quickly by the Pac-10 if A&M continues to drag its feet.

This is the first time we are aware of that Kansas has been so concretely linked by a reputable source to a move to the Pac-10, so certainly this could be a means to push A&M to making a decision sooner rather than later. However, Kansas has a lot to offer from both an academic and athletic standpoint so, distance aside, it would make sense that they would be an option.

Possibly waiting for an official SEC invite. The Pac 10 if they lost out on TAMU would gobble up KU.

So I guess our fate is in the Aggies hands. Does TAMU have a spot in the SEC? Would they hold out for one and shun the Pac 10? Did they already and thus the plane ride?

Pretty damn interesting. I dunno, something tells me the Aggies are in the SEC already and the league is waiting to announce them AND another East team and KU will be Pacific bound…

Memories of Memphis, be damned. Mizzou has its own version of The Door.

Live feed outside the door of the Mizzou Board of Curators meeting. Please join me now in remembering one of the greatest days of hilarity ever provided us by the internet.

The Jayhawks may also have another suitor: the Big East. Washington Examiner sports reporter Jim Williams posted a Twitter update saying Kansas, Kansas State, Missouri and Iowa State “are starting talks with The Big East.” The league would have a 12 teams in football and 20 in basketball.

Most fans are pulling hard for the Pac 10 to land KU over TAMU. Some have said that KU is a better academic and social fit, while others have said KU can save Pac 10 basketball (in case you forgot, Pac 10 basketball last year was about as good as the Missouri Valley).

I know it doesn’t matter, but interesting to see Pac 10 alumns and fans pulling for the conference to land KU.

Looks like basketball WILL be a big factor in this afterall (Oh Riiiivet, where arrrre yooou?)

Its the last major conference I would want to be in… But at this point beggars can’t be choosers I guess.

I could be watching the wrong plane, but the report I just saw was that the plane is still in Austin and delayed. Is that true? Just wondering if weather is playing into the factor.

This stuff is killing me.

-the A&M athletic director was in Idaho when Slive and Scott were there
-A&M still hasn’t told the PAC no

says the Pac10 has offered Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Kansas and Utah. Another interesting possibility.

Just checked the flight plan. And there is a new plan filed. Leave Austin to KC at 8:10. Atleast that’s what flightwise.com said was filed. I could be wrong.

Who knows? A agree hopefully it did. And if it didn’t the site I checked on shows one for Mon morning. So that’s still good news

I’ve read that the Big 12 is putting together a TV package to try and keep the league together as a ten piece for now. Apparently gives the Big 12 schools 17 million a piece (at least) dollar wise from the deal.

Guess it all comes down to Texas here. Also wonder if the fates of KU and TAMU are already sealed?

Maybe TAMU has an SEC offer and KU a Pac 10 offer and both are waiting to see if Texas stays with the Big 12 or bolts for the Pac 10 before acting. In the end you’d think both schools would stay in the Big 12 even if it is a ten piece conference.

Wouldn’t it be funny if we were the Big 12 with 10 teams and the Big 10 has 12 teams…

KU would be GONE…this is like having a serious heart attack where the EMTs bring you back to life…this conference has always been every team looking out for themselves, and now is the time to move and get more stability in a league where you’re more of an equal partner than an afterthought.

Go A&M! Go! Go!

But Tait said it may have gone to Wichita or Topekie instead.

I’m in OP right meow and it is storming like no one’s business so its very possible the plane decided to have a go at it in the morning or went where the cell is not.

I’m listening to the Turtles’ Tired of Waiting for you right now.

I think I gave some bad info. I checked to see about the flight again and can’t find anything on it or any departure plans. Its saying its still in Austin though. If you wanna check on what I’ve been, use either flightwise.com or flightaware.com. The tail number that I was told Larry Scott is on is N228PK. I’m not 100% sure its the right plane because I got the info off another message board. The plane has made all the right stops though and is registered to an old Oregon AD. Hopefully this helps everyone out on this.

can’t remember where I read it, so take it with a grain of salt. Also read that Scott was flumoxed/chagrined that people were tracking his movements using the tail number of the plane.

chances are increasing that the Big XII may stay together…Longhorns supposedly committed to Big XII existence…A&M could throw a wrench into all that…agreement in principle to keep Big XII together…possibly more revenue-sharing disparity than before.

personally, i don’t like it. i would still go to the PAC-10 if I had my choice…does anyone think that Mizzou won’t jump to the BigTen as soon as they get a chance? this league is not viable long term UNLESS they expand to at least 12 and possibly more teams.

radio guy from college station on…pretty much contradicts all that keitzman just said…says that a&m wants to go to the SEC…doesn’t have any faith in beebe to keep it together.
