  1. Sorry for your troubles, Troy. Your dad will be missed.
  2. Ouch. But no. The Ragin' Cajuns won the game in the first half. And were outscored in 27-19 in the second half San Diego State 3 0 14 13 = 30 UL–Lafayette 6 7 6 13 = 32
  3. Did Reggie Bush go to USC and not another school because of financial enticements? Yes. Did USC gain a competitive advantage by having the Heisman Trophey winner on their team? Um... yes! Duh...
  4. Wow. Someone's starved for attention...
  5. So Hawai'i is hiring Jun Jones back? When's the announcement? ;)
  6. Funny. I thought you could tell how that feels from first-hand experience... ;)
  7. Again, a new conference is going to have to wait 3 years to gain automatic entry for its champion to any NCAA championship. Why would any MWC school, which already has that perk, skip out to join a new conference? Even one that included Kansas. You keep trying to play the doomsday card, NC but it's based on speculation rather than fact. And don't go to the "NCAA rules change " card. That's one rule the NCAA will not touch because of the precedent it would create. The NCAA wouldn't give lawyers anymore ammo than they already have.
  8. If they need 9, they'll have a hard time dissolving the Big 12. But the info I've seen (and confirmed) is that the Big 12 was incorporated under Delaware law, which requires only a majority to dissolve a corporation. If this is true then that's only 7. Which would be Colorado, Nebraska, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, OK State and Texas Tech. If that's true then the Big 12 will be GONE and no exit fees will be paid. This is the most likely scenario unless there's some detail missing. My guess is that even if the vote is 9, the schools bolting will enter into a financial agreement where they pay less than the exit fee to the remaining schools so everyone votes to dissolve the Big 12. And voila, no more Big 12. Also, if the Big 12 doesn't go away as an entity I doubt that they'll be sitting pretty. You can bet that all their TV deals will be renegotiated and their TV money will take a significant hit. Same for the bowl tie-ins. A conference without Texas, Nebraska and Oklahoma is just not as attractive. And there's no guarantee that a they'd be given an auto bid to the BCS -- if there's even a BCS left after all this conference shake-up...
  9. What I'm reading is that the Big 12 will vote to dissolve if Nebraska, Colorado and the Texas schools leave. They only need a simple majority to do that -- seven schools. That's how many that are poised to leave (it'd be 8 if Missouri gets a Big 10 bid). If that's true, then the Big 12 will no longer exist. There WON'T BE a conference to invite anyone TO. And it makes sense for Texas, Colo. and everyone else bolting to want to simply dissolve the Big 12. Then the schools that leave don't have to pay exit fees. This scenario may just turn out to be Warbow's fantasy...
  10. Unless I'm reading the NCAA rules incorrectly, any new conference has to serve a three-year probationary period after forming and doesn't get an auto-bids to NCAA championships. So no March Madness, no College World Series, etc. For three years. Not sure on BCS, but I doubt the BCS would give a auto bid to a conference made up primarily of teams from the MWC or CUSA. If they're not good enough now I doubt being in a conference with Kansas and Kansas St. -- the only two Big 12 North teams to get BCS bids (just one each) -- would suddenly make teams from the MWC and CUSA BCS material. If the Big 12 disbands (which is most likely because none of the exiting schools want to pay exit fees), this scenario is a complete and utter fantasy.
