Well Beebe is out I just saw on ESPN minutes ago that he stepped down as commissioner and former Big Eight commissioner Chuck Neinas will serve as interim commissioner for the rest of the season.
Like this is going to make a difference on the field lol
I have to say everyone is happy as I just heard every coach of the big12 say this was a Great suprise.
Even Deloss Dodds said change may be nice as long as it keeps the Big12 together. Texas has agreed to vote Dan Beebe out but as they stand even with a new commissioner they WILL NOT SHARE ANY REVENUE OF THE LHN as there is no threat stated from a 24/7 highlight real of all Texas sports.
I think the big12 needs both Texas and OU without that game the big12 sinks.
People can say what they want without OU and Texas and the anual RRR game the big12 falls. With Texas alone without OU the big12 falls and without Texas and just OU the Big12 falls.
One thing Texas can say is they push multiple Sports deep into post season play each year not 1 or 2 or even 3 but 4 sports so thats even more $$$$$ and coverage to the public and national scene for the confrence past football season.
IMO its important to have both together as long as there is a BCS. Teams like Tech , a&m , Baylor and State can be replaced if they needed to be.
State is making a big step up in the confrence imo with weeden and brandon blackmon.
