The Big 12 Is Wounded, But Alive

It is official the BIG 12 is alive, but 10. Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma St. are staying, why because they found money in Big 12 country.  There was a lot of rain clouds in Big 12 country last week so what did Commissioner Beebe do?  He went out and searched for the end of the rainbow.  Turns out he found a pot of gold in a reportedly $200 million TV deal with Fox & ESPN/ABC.  Unlike previous finds that lead country folks to head west to Beverly Hills, this Texas Gold is enough to keep the Longhorns and the rest of the Big 12 together minus 2.     

Questions still remain will Utah fill the last spot as the PAC-10?
Is the BIG 12 comfortable being 10 and going without a championship game?

Stay tuned as soon as we know you'll know.
