The Big 12 Break-Up

College sports will never be the same again as teams from the Big 12, I mean Big 11 oops I mean Big 10, no wait I know what they need to call it the super 6. Early this week Colorado announced that they would leave for the Pac-10 conference. Then yesterday Nebraska made it official by bolting for the Big 10. Rumors are also flying around for the rest of the conference teams as the rest of the teams from the south side of Big 12 might leave for the Pac-10, KU might join the Big East, Mountain West or Conference USA and K-state........okay are you just as confused as to where these teams are going.
The only reason why teams are breaking up and joining these major conferences is for the money. They look at the almighty dollar and don't see the fans perspective. With states cutting funding to these major universities, schools are trying to find new ways make money even if means joining another conference. Let me give you example the University of Nebraska is going to more than double their revenue for their athletic dept because their joining the Big 10. Ditto for Colorado and for any other team that wants to take the money and run.
Nebraska yesterday had their press conference and the chancellor of the university just blasted the two schools responsible for this break-up. First he blames Texas for this because they blockade to create a big 12 network, then they blame Missouri for here reports that they might leave back in December.
What I am more mad about is that you won't see some of these old rivalries again. The other part is the geographic location for traveling. Seriously, if KU goes to the Big East are you going to be excited for a KU vs. Georgetown football game in D.C. This is a big mistake.
