The Big 12 has accepted UCF, Cincy, Houston, and BYU

Re: So we may be seeing the Big 12 RIP.

If the four teams (BYU, Cincy, Houston, UCF) join up, they'll get two solid basketball teams in there. And the other conference teams will enjoy an annual trip to Disney World.
 
Re: So we may be seeing the Big 12 RIP.

Every Big 12 team should refuse to play OU or Texas this season, or ever again for that matter. They did everyone dirty.

lol...why? OU and horns gave the big12 4 yr notice. screw the bg12 and the leadership. They had 10+ yrs to make this conference better and didn't.

It's hilarious they are scrambling for crap teams now.
 
Re: So we may be seeing the Big 12 RIP.

Honestly scheduling OU every year for OSU would benefit Okie State the most because it gives them a game that will sell tickets more than any other Big 12 team and it won't count against your conference record anymore. I would be the same way if I'm like TCU too. Also I would start scheduling all or as many Power 5 teams OOC to get more money. You can't schedule soft in a conference as bad as they will be in.

Playing OU every year does nothing for Oklahoma State... They shouldn't be using a non-conference game on OU after this is done.

You are correct though, they can't schedule soft... The worst kind of team they should schedule is American, C-USA, Mountain West, etc. Those are risky games, but if they want to have any chance they have to run the table and schedule tough.

I don't think Bedlam will last once we leave for the SEC but make no mistake, it will create havoc with OSU's ticket sales. The OU game is their version of the Texas ticket for OU. OU uses the right to get tickets to that game to raise millions of dollars each year and to promote Sooner Club membership. OSU does the same with the OU game and without us, they go back to the normal season ticket model which before had them selling about 30,000 season tickets. It's a gut punch to their ticket sales.

So again ABD is suggesting something to cost the little 8 millions of dollars. he is on a roll.
 
Re: So we may be seeing the Big 12 RIP.

Are you guys suggesting that OSU fans only buy season tickets to watch one game they never win every other year in Stillwater? That's total bologna.

This is a new world.... I don't think you guys are grasping that. OU and Texas are gone. And in their wake a lot of things will change. The landscape is changing.

The old rivalries are dead... just as the OU vs Nebraska rivalry died, so will the Bedlam rivalry. OU made that choice... They will now have Texas, A&M, LSU, Bama, to create new rivalries with... And by the way, OU vs Nebraska was way more special than Bedlam.

OSU fans are going to have to learn how to care about something other than OU.... if I was an OSU fan, I would be embracing this opportunity to get out of the shadow. What choice do they have?

OSU is incapable of doing that. It's why their president whined about not being included in the discussion. Their entire culture is based on competition with OU.

OSU stopped selling single game OU vs OSU tickets to boost their season ticket sales ...

You are making a battered wife argument.

"You should totally divorce that guy who mercilessly beats you all the time"
-Concerned Friend

"He's really a great guy! I love him. And I know he loves me. I just need to stop angering him. If I had dinner ready on time he wouldn't have punched me. He promises he will get counseling and change."
-Battered Wife

Translated to this situation:

"You should totally stop playing that team you never beat, who just destroyed your conference, and didn't care enough about you to take you along with them"
-Concerned Fan

"But without OU we have nothing left to play for... We can't possibly go on and develop new rivalries, step out of their shadow, and make our program about something else. Its a symbiotic relationship. They are the hippo and we are the oxpecker.. If we don't play them every year, we might as well just shut down the program"

Re: So we may be seeing the Big 12 RIP.

Bedlam will probably take a pause for 5-8 years. Then I bet they play each other about 4-6 times a decade.

Yes their president and ad are deranged, but that's them. I dont give two ****s if we play them ever again. The only thing we are playing them for now is to get to 100 wins against them
