There are days when I dont like my writing style, nor my receding hairline....it is what it is however
Get beyond Texas and Oklahoma and the conference has a spotty history of any football program with long term success. Adding BYU really will not move the needle much. The affect at this point is college football is down to 4.5 major conferences from 6.
In the end it looks like the Big 12 has cancer and will put a band-aid on to treat itself. For Kansas, Missouri or Iowa State is this the kind of treatment to resolve your health problem?

Posts like this simply amuse me. The Big 12 has been the best league in the country so far. Losing A&M would probably, maybe drop us down to two. It is a good football league, aside from Kansas at least.
As to your last paragraph - what is your solution? Revenue sharing in Tier 1 and Tier 2 is likely going to happen as a result of all this. I'm not going to get bent out of shape about the LHN and Texas' ability to earn tier 3 money. It is what it is.

Absolutely not, It's the SEC and everyone else. They've won 5 straight. The Big 12 has had a good start to the year, but we've seen this happen before. Especially with Oklahoma, in '08 Oklahoma ended the year with 6 straight blow out wins in which they scored 58 points or more in each game. The last 3 of those were against highly ranked Big 12 foes. Then they go to the national title game and lose 24-14 to Tim Tebow University. Coming out and saying that a conference is better than the SEC currently is asinine and ludicrous. I know we all love our own conferences, "Yay B1G" and "Yay Big 12", but until another conference puts together consistent year in year out success the SEC will be the top dog.
The guy's a professional journalist and still hasn't figured out the difference between a comma and an ellipsis. Yeah, his writing style is up for critique.
