[QUOTE="Flying T, post: 1114325, member: 70552"] " As I have mentioned before, I have no big time sources but I have a good friend who does know important people inside the Texas athletics department. He emailed me some info that is encouraging but different from what we are hearing from other folks around here. First off, Texas & OU REALLY don't want to go beyond 12 teams. He emphasized this is a HUGE deal to both of those schools. I sent him an email asking why (how the revenue is split, perhaps?) but he has yet to reply. Folks at Texas feel very confident that FSU and Clemson are coming to the Big12. In fact, it is expected to be a fait accompli by the end of June. They will play football in the Big12 in 2013. How the conference will be structured and having protected rivalry games between divisions is a huge part of all of this. One Division is gong to be Texas, Tech, Baylor, TCU, OU and OSU. The other Will be ISU, KSU, Kansas, WVU, Clemson and FSU. He mentioned 3 protected rivalry games across the divisions: Texas & FSU, Clemson & OU and WVU & TCU. These games will happen every year. I am assuming the other teams will have annual rivalry games across division but they were not mentioned." http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=159&f=4582&t=8957203 [/QUOTE]
