The death of the Big 12.

 

http://www.expressnews.com/sports/columnists/roy-bragg/article/Aggies-killed-the-Big-12-as-their-parting-gift-9963435.php?t=f305d91ad639a20598

....

In 2010, the Big 12 signed 41 of the state’s top 50 players. The SEC landed only three.

A&M jumped ship in 2012, and SEC signings in Texas have increased since then.

This year, for example, the Big 12 was able to sign 22 of the top 50. The SEC, however, signed 20.

 

....

In 2013, A&M and other SEC members earned $21 million. Last season, that went up to $31.2 million. Next year, the Aggies and their pals will each pocket $44.5 million

 

This would imply that the Big12 NEEDS stronger recruiting in FL.

Apparently, the Big 12 plan on having an Internet Conference after Mondays meetings. Will there be Champagne flowing or **** shoveling. Stand by for news!

Presumably, this news conference will be online. We'll be tuned in. (Guessing a few on Fowler & Fletcher will be, too).https://twitter.com/GeorgeSchroeder/status/786320612545265664 …

Big 12 plans news conference Monday evening after board mtg. (What news—expand/don't expand/kick can down the road—is still anyone’s guess.)

I thought "no expansion" had already been leaked to the media...?!

Seems odd they would hold a news conference to announce no expansion, but who knows with the Big XII.

OMG, they are going to expand.  My guess is 2 at first.

I would guess that they announce that they have decided to expand but, that they haven't yet decided on whom they are going to expand with.

It's part of knowing your foe. They are the team called "The Expansionistas". They have only two plays in their playbook and they are; 1, Expand or 2, Don't expand and 1 Audible (Not now).

Let's be real. They scheduled it for Monday because they want to see the USF Uconn game. That and they were waiting for the Houston loss to have an excuse not to invite them

^This would be considered incredibly insightful if it comes to pass.
