The Big-12 Conference Down To Ten Teams, Is Soon To Lose Another Team!

What is going on with the Big-12?
Once the Big-12 was won of the most powerful conferences in football, now teams are leaving. Colorado is now apart of the Pac-12 Conference and Nebraska is apart of the Big-12 Conference. Texas A&M now wants to move to the SEC, which has been the most powerful football conference in the NCAA.

Texas A&M is unhappy being in the same conference with Texas. The longhorns have there own television network, that will draw Texas revenue. Texas A&M a proud school themselves just did not agree with it and therefore want to leave the conference to go to the SEC, where they feel they can gain more notariety. The Texas longhorns said, if A&M leaves the Big-12 they would never play A&M again. Even though the aggies are upset with what the longhorns are doing, A&M never said that they did not want to continue their rivalry game against Texas on Thanksgiving weekend.

Texas A&M will be leaving the Big-12 conference.Sources say the announcement will come as early as Tuesday, no later than Sunday after their first game of the season. A&M's agreement could smooth out their transition to the SEC conference. Once the announcement has been made Texas AM will apply for SEC membership and have the bid approved by 9 out of 12 schools.

Restructuring of Conferences Note:

When restructuring of conferences began, the Pac-10 was wanting to transition with the Big-12 conference to have Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and Nebraska, to create a power conference, called the Pac-16. Texas' coach Mack Brown withdrew his invitation to the Pac-10, to keep the Big-12 conference together.By doing so, he was considered a savior to the Big-12 conference. Now the Big-12 conference has more problems than ever.

Questions:

How will the Big-12 conference manage, drawing lesser competition?

Will the Big-12 conference survive?

Will the Big-12 conference be like the old Southwest conference, by dis-banding?

Will the power teams Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State join Colorado in the Pac-12?

Will there be a Pac-16 after all?

Known Fact:

Texas A&M No More:
