Arkansas going to the Big 12???
SPRINGDALE, Ark. (AP) -- Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long says the school was approached recently about joining the Big 12.

Long told The Associated Press the Razorbacks are content to remain in the Southeastern Conference.

That information comes in the wake of the SEC's announcement on Wednesday that it will accept Texas A&M as the league's 13th member, if the school can exit the Big 12 without any pending legal issues.

Long says the SEC is prepared to move forward with 13 teams should Texas A&M join the conference. He also expected the Big 12 to approach Arkansas about joining and added that the discussions didn't go very far when the call was made.

1. Arkansas escaped a conference with Texas once--no way they're going back
I'm not surprised the Big 12 would make the offer, but I'd be shocked if Arkansas had any interest in jumping onto the Titanic.

Latest news now is that the SEC might not offer A&M a slot after all, since the vote to offer was contingent upon the remaining Big 12 schools signing a waiver of their right to sue. Baylor, apparently, may not do that ...

2. Oklahoma to the Big Ten. With Missouri.
Book it, Danno. Now, it's quality, not quantity.

4. Of course it is, fish.
Just my dream. The Big Ten is making oodles of money off it's network. So the talk is moving east for the TV sets. But the programs suck. You already have the viewers. Now it's time to add some classic programs to follow Nebraska. What better way to add the eyeballs than the Sooners and Mizzou. Are you shitting me. Lincoln, Norman and Columbia. I'm there. Fuck the east. Go west, Mr. Delaney. Won't happen in a fucking million years. And fuck Notre Dame!!

7. As a fellow Razorback said.........
....asking the Razorbacks if they want to join the Big 12 is like asking people in heaven if they want to go to hell. It won't happen. Thanks.
