I realize nobody is interested and will prefer to slam the OP, but who cares. I will put out the post I saw, and you can read it or not. <div><br></div><div>(post on Mizzou board) </div><div><br></div><div><br><br>by MizzooMisery -<br><br>I ran across this article in a blog. Veeeeeeeeery interesttttttttinggg ! - - - <br><br> "Folks I cant give you any links because I heard this from a source in Athletic offices at Ku. Kansas is talking to the Big East again ! Or at least a better way to say it is the Kansas Athletic Dept is talking to them. The President at Ku is still not completely sold yet, but he is coming around. The Ku Prez doesnt want to give up Big 12 money sooner than he has to, but the Ku Athletic Dept is telling him that Ku will pay a heavy price if the Big East moves on without Ku and then the Big 12 breaks up". <div><br></div><div>Here is what is going on according to my spy - <br> <br>a) Kansas doesnt want to get left behind in the next reshuffle and is determined to do some advance planning this time and not get caught flat footed like last time. <br><br>b) Ku is being told politely by the Big East, that the conference may have to move on without them at some point (as in Villanova, Ucf, and Houston to make 12). <br><br>c) Ku very impressed with Big East as potential home for it's basketball program, especially with Big East proving this yr that they are the best hoops conf in America.<br><br>d) Ku, Kansas St, and Missouri would also have to be part of a "package deal" to the Big East, which would make 12. Villanova and Ucf would make 14 or if the Big 12 imploded, Okie St and Ucf would make 14. <br><br>e) 4 teams would be booted out of the Big East in basketball immediately if Ku, Ksu, and Mu joined (Providence, Seton Hall, Marquette, and Depaul).<br><br>f) 2 more teams "might" be booted out later, but also might possibly survive to play "basketball only" in the Big East (Georgetown and St John's). If Big 12 imploded and Big East went to 14 members, Georgetown and St John's might still stay, making 14 for football and 16 for basketball. <br><br>g) Notre Dame would be finally given an ultimatum from the Big East to join in football or quit in basketball. ND may not want to leave Big East as much as some believe. <br><br>h) Notre Dame would have a far better chance at a Bcs Bowl bid each year in the Big East than it would in the Big 10. ND staying in Big East isnt out of the question, and ND dearly loves the Big East in basketball. ND may consider Big East in all sports. <br><br>i) Tcu makes 9 in Big East. Ku, Ksu, and Missou make 12. Dont be fooled by the talk of Nova to the Big East. It is rumored to be a power play and pressure tactic by Big East on Ku. <br><br>j) Ku has their ears to the ground now and is hearing that over 80% of A&M fans want to go to the SEC. May not happen immediately but Ku folks think it is inevitable at some point in the near or intermediate future, which will collapse the Big 12. <br><br>k) If A&M leaves first (they have an open invitation to SEC) Oklahoma goes with them (Ou has open invite to SEC also). <br><br>l) If A&M and Okla leave, Ku will be gone the next day, as will Ksu and Mu. Texas will go to the Pac 10, or more likely will go indy. <br><br>m) All that will be left in Big 12 will be Okie St, TTech, Iowa St and Baylor. Baylor and TTech will get likely get an invite to Mtn West Conf. Iowa St is not likely to get invite to Mtn West. Big East might take two more (Okie St and Ucf)<br><br>n) Conf Usa will likely take Iowa St. <br><br>o) Ku is getting itchy and is also very irritated with Longhorns. Nothing concrete but talks between Ku and Big East are still happening. <br><br>This isnt over yet.

I vote for it being BS!I don't believe the Big East is quite desperate enough to kick out 4 and possible 6 members to make way for KU,KSU and MISSOURI.This is nothing more than a joke or plain B.S.
Some of this might have made sense until it was mentioned that Notre Dame might consider joining the Big East in football...
It might happen, but alot of that argument is weak. First of all, why on earth would the Aggies want to play in the SEC. They have struggled 90% of the time playing OU and Texas, despite last year. The Big 12 is weaker now than it has ever been, just look at the Cotton Bowl. Ags beat OU and Texas last year and couldn't even begin to handle a mid level SEC bunch. Lost big to Georgia the year before in Shreveport.
Just seems like a stupid point to say Ags want the SEC.
This rumor is so obviously bogus that it is embarrassing. Nothing more needs to be said.
It is so bogus that 5 other blogs are discussing it also, along with a local Kansas newspaper.
