Andy Staples: Future of Big 12 almost secured
Filed under News by on Sep 23rd, 2011. Comment.
An report in The Oklahoman says if the University of Oklahoma is to remain in the Big 12, it will do so only if the conference adds regulations on the Longhorn Network and removes commissioner Dan Beebe. To do the latter, Big 12 bylaws require a majority vote of the league’s board of directors. “It’s going to take major, major reforms,” the source told the Oklahoman. “We’d have to have an interim commissioner.” Big 12 members were angered by the network’s agreement with Fox Sports to move a conference game to the Longhorn Network and its decision to show high school highlights after the Big 12 voted to keep televised high school games off school-branded networks. The source told the Oklahoman that a move by Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to the Pac-12 wasn’t inevitable. Big 12 commissioner Dan Beebe has been the target of criticism throughout the past year, but was given a three-year contract extension through 2015 in November of 2010 after the Big 12 held together.

The college football cataclysm continues. The Pac-12 is nearing a deal that will bring four Big 12 schools into the fold: Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas Tech, according to a report by The Austin American-Statesman, which wrote that talks were “heating up.” The key element moving things forward with Texas? The proposed deal would allow Texas to keep ESPN’s Longhorn Network, though The Statesman reports the network would have to add other Pac-12 programming to the network. With the Texas and Oklahoma regents meeting Monday, this monumental story could move forward quickly. So start the Pac-12 nostalgia.

Report: Pac-16 with Texas is close
Filed under Football by on Sep 18th, 2011. Comment.
Texas, Oklahoma, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State are working on a deal to join the Pac-12, according to a report on Sunday . The Austin American-Statesman cited a source close to the situation that stressed the deal is not yet complete, but that talks were “heating up.” The proposed deal would allow Texas to keep ESPN’s Longhorn Network, though The Statesman reports the network would have to add other Pac-12 programming to the network. The new Longhorn Network, a 24-hour showcase for Texas athletics, has caused several Big 12 members to worry it gives the Longhorns too much power and influence, especially in the areas of exposure and recruiting. “This is not yet a done deal,” a source familiar with the discussions told The Statesman, saying nothing had been definitively confirmed. “It appears that (Pac-12 commissioner) Larry Scott is going to be able to work some magic and help Texas keep the Longhorn Network and their revenue stream.” Oklahoma and Texas’ regents are both set to meet on Monday. By day’s end, will Oklahoma give David Boren and Texas give Bill Powers the right to make a decision on behalf of the university? Stay tuned.
