(AP) -- A former McDonald's employee was sentenced Sunday to life in prison without parole after being convicted of murdering an associate manager at the fast-food restaurant in neighboring Germantown. Robert L. Evans Jr. was found guilty Friday of first-degree murder and aggravated robbery in the Nov. 5, 1997, death of Delma Ramsey.

We make fun of Iowa State and the Big XII conference here but trust me a block of ISU, KSU, TCU, TTU and Baylor can attract any AAC and MWC schools they want. The Big XII left behinds aren't going to sign up with either conference. They'll form there own BoR and pray like hell it's good enough to maintain a Power conference status. That's the big question really... if the left behinds of the B12, with the addition of which ever schools... would garner P5 status... or do the elites just label them as unworthy, and now the latest G5 conference?

Our ego only got bigger with the Pac-10, SEC and Big 10 trying to get us to join their conference. Look, why don't you just be quiet before my university buys yours and closes it just for spite?

since1670 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 After Texas flirted with the Pac, Big 12 schools panicked. This will occur again as the Big 12 GOR starts to expire . OU will contact every other P5 conference. Their only viable option is the SEC. The B1G will not invite them as they are not even close to being AAU. The Pac has already rejected them at least once. The ACC will not invite OU because of geography, population, and academics. OU will make a great effort to join the SEC. Unless Tom Herman can make UT highly competitive, it must do something. Currently, it is not recruiting as well as it did historically. UT recruiting is being hurt by poor performance and greater competition. A&M and LSU are both recruiting well in the Houston area. Other SEC schools are also recruiting Texas more than previously. Recruiting by Baylor, and TCU has improved signicificantly. Ultimately, OU and UT will join the SEC. They both have old rivals and close neighbors in the SEC. The remaining Big 12 schools with the possible exception of Kansas will be left behind. They will invite several schools in an attempt to remain a P5. They will fail, but they will be the BOR. My guess would be Cincinnati, CSU, Memphis, and Houston. They would like CSU because of geography and fit. They would need the others for markets and recruiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
