The writers at Underdog Dynasty a website dedicated to covering the AAC, CUSA and everyone below thinks it would be best for everyone to stay in the G5 color me shocked I say. 

Leader of the Big 12 missed his opportunity to improve that conference.  Texas and Oklahoma were tired of waiting and took their future into their own hands.  Big 12 is the modern day version of the Big East.

These are facts and the Big East is where I am drawing my modeling on what will happen as that situation seems like the most comparable. In that example everyone looks out for themselves, no one bands together and even at a few members an opportunity to move up and rebuild is preferable to growing what you are in.

Probably so, and I have been noticing a lot more annoying pop up ads lately.

Not from this board.  Might want to be careful where you’re surfing.

If all this does come to fruition, I'm not sure there's that much the B12 leaders could have done, like the Big East. You've got members within the conference wanting to improve their social/financial stance and there's not a helluvalot you were able to do about it.

Anyone that thinks that Texas/OU are leaving the Big12 because they were hampered in decisions by the little 8 really needs to understand the dynamics of that league.

Its the Texas league, Texas got the Longhorn Network, uneven revenue agreement, drove out Nebraska, Texas AM, Colorado and Missouri.

It was Texas who made and control that league and it is Texas that destroyed it.

With ESPN an accomplice.

So, Is the AAC trying to position themselves as a better league than the big 12? Will that fly and will the leftover big 12 members want to come to the AAC?
