Texas Commits to Big 12
Take a deep breath, the standoff is over.
After a week of speculation that the Longhorns were set to take their show out west, an eleventh hour plea by Commission Dan Beebe appears to have saved the Big 12 Conference.
The ten remaining members of the conference will stay put, throwing a cold bucket of water on Larry Scott and the Pac-10's plans to annex five South-division schools.
Aside from a few probable aftershocks (Utah to Pac-10), this round of expansion appears to be finished.
Not surprisingly, it looks like the Big Ten is the big winner.

How great would it be if Nebraska beats Texas in the Big XII conference championship game and chants “Big Ten”?

Could Not Agree More
The Big Ten is the big winner here, and hit a homerun by adding Nebraska. I love the addition of the Huskers and “only” a 12 team Big Ten.

Who has a strange feeling
that in about three or four years Texas will be complaining about how much money they aren’t making in comparison to Big Ten teams? I just don’t see how a conference with Texas, Oklahoma, and not much else is going to generate the revenue, in the long term, that will compete with the Big Ten and SEC.
Texas won the battle, but the Big XII will lose the war.
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children what it was once like in the United States when men were free." ~ Ronald Reagan
