It all points to the power UT has over the Big 12. NU bolts, then that opens the door wide open for the Pac10 to steal the South, but they don't want Baylor, but Baylor is kicking and screaming like the poor stepchild they are and throwing a fit that "THEY" belong with the other south schools... The sad thing is, "when" this all goes down, most will make it look like NU will be responsible for the demise of the Big 12... The whole ultimatum thing is nothing but BS :facepalm:
side note--- SI.com is reporting ND has re-opened conversation with the Big 10
