Title: Sources: Big 12 mulling Big East merger Post by: 2Stater on September 20, 2011, 10:01:14 AM http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/6993604/big-east-big-12-talking-possible-merger-sources-say
Quote Big East and Big 12 conference and school officials have been exploring ways to merge their embattled leagues, but talks have centered on an arrangement in which what's left of the Big East schools would blend into the Big 12, and not vice-versa, multiple Big 12 sources told ESPN.com's Andy Katz. The sources said that if Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State were to leave the Big 12 and the five remaining schools do not have an opportunity to join the ACC, SEC or Big Ten, the Big 12 would move to absorb remaining Big East schools -- not the other way around. Boards of regents from Oklahoma and Texas voted Monday to give their presidents the right to choose a new conference, though Texas' regents still held the right to give a final approval. :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :deadhorse: :eyeroll: :eyeroll: :eyeroll: :eyeroll: :eyeroll: :eyeroll: Title: Re: Sources: Big 12 mulling Big East merger Post by: ssmith general on September 20, 2011, 10:05:56 AM http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/6993604/big-east-big-12-talking-possible-merger-sources-say Quote Big East and Big 12 conference and school officials have been exploring ways to merge their embattled leagues, but talks have centered on an arrangement in which what's left of the Big East schools would blend into the Big 12, and not vice-versa, multiple Big 12 sources told ESPN.com's Andy Katz.

Does everyone have to play St. Johns twice? I don't see this merger happening. Some of these wallflowers are going to get their feelings hurt. :( |
