Reports in various newspapers combined with quotes from influential boosters such as OSU's T. Boone Pickens are shedding new light on conference realignment from the BIg 12: As in there won't be any.
Yes, you read that right. After weeks of wrangling, rumors, and negotiation, momentum right now has squarely shifted to everyone - even including Texas A&M - staying in the fractured and fractious Big 12. Sources also indicate that a reworked revenue sharing agreement that eliminates the tiered revenue system are also in the works.
Obviously, this can change with the wind, but just as the smart money a week ago was on OU, Texas, TTech, and OSU heading to the Pac 12+, it looks now like all bets are off, and everything will be exactly as it is.
If so, I can't wait to see how Dan Beebe is painted as the savior of the conference, even though he's the most chronically inept and impotent sports administrator in sports this side of Bud Selig.
More as I hear it.
