Who was the other school?  Texas?  Baylor?

 

My guess would be Texas.  DeLoss Dodds is notorious for being involved in discussions for a while then suddenly doing an about face.  Besides, I doubt Baylor has the clout to shoot down FSU and CU being added to the conference.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

If so, it certainly wouldn't be the first time UT held their conference hostage.

If it is Texas, then look for Fox to do more for LHN.  It seems that National  expansion of BIG12 is key for the fledling sports network

Well, texas is the straw that stirs that drink so if they said "no" then it is not going to happen. Baylor can be pressured. we may never know.

This is mostly true.  It could be, though, that the other schools have realized that there is a decent chance Texas may still bolt at some point in the not too distant future, so they need to strengthen their position to avoid getting screwed if (when?) that happens.  We know first hand that you often get burned by letting the conference "power players" call the shots - see, e.g., Pitt insisting we turn down a (relatively) massive TV contract and then bolting at the first opportunity.

That is a cautionary tale for sure. Hopefully they were paying attention.

DeLoss Dodds is supposed to retire next summer.  Unlike most schools, he seems to have more power over things like conference realignment than his school president.  One would assume that his replacement will have less power and different ideas, so that could change the game significantly with regards to the Big 12.

I think if its texas its DOA - imo. But I would not think they would have to schedule an emergency meeting to kill it.

This is all a lot of fun even if its fantasy....

 

I prefer the fantasy over the reality that there is no light at the end of the tunnel.  Fantasy BABY!

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
