I accidentally deleted my post, but I thought this was a done deal too, but according to Chip Brown of Orangebloods.com, all 10 remaining teams are at the table working on a deal that would save the league. This story changes by the minute... texas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1094038

A move for Texas A&M to the SEC would be big for Aggies football. It would open up a whole new door for texas high school recruits

Don't know if he's being paid behind the scenes or what have you, but he's been correct and the first to report about 99% of what's been happening. I've come to trust this source because of his ability to break news. Even Joe Schad, who was the one to report (today anways) that Texas and others were on the verge of committing to the Pac-10. Before Joe reported this, Chip was already talking about salvaging the Big 12.

Chip Brown has seemed like a puppet at times for UT as he's pushed a very pro-Texas stance during this whole ordeal. Especially when Nebraska was on the verge of coming to the B10.

Look for the Pac-10 to go after Utah for it's 12 school. After this it looks like we are done for now. Big East, ACC and SEC will stay the same. Tomorrow is another day.

There is no "done." At best, this is a brief hiatus. I give the B12 a 50% chance of surviving in something like its present form over the next three years. The BE, about 20%.

FWIW, the new Big 12 deal includes provisions that prevent conference members from leavin the conference... Essentially, they're "locked" in together...Big 12 is much more stable with this tv deal they're going to get then they were before...

I'm very anxious to see how this TV deal ends up in '12. Iowa State will start averaging $17M?! Are u f'n kidding me?! Texas screwed themselves out of a lot of money. I'll be very intrigued to see how the LSN pans out b/c I doubt they'll have enough programming to keep interest outside of football, baseball and basketball games/previews/recaps.

The Longhorn Sports Network could become like NYY's YES Network, that airs NJ Nets games.
Not exactly a stretch to imagine the "LSN" airing Texas Rangers, Dallas Mavericks, or Houston Rockets/Astros games.
