By all appearances, the Big 12 is dead. Nebraska is likely, probably, most definitely headed to the Big Ten/Eleven/Twelve. Colorado has been accepted as the 11th member of the Pac 10 already. And behind that will likely go Texas, OU, OSU, Texas A&M and Texas Tech.
None of this is official yet. But it's a case of we don't know, but we know, you know?
I'm a tradition type person, so I'm a little weirded out by this massive shakeup in the landscape of college athletics. It's not just football here "“ this will greatly influence every collegiate sport there is, as well as academics. But it's very exciting. I'm already frothing at the mouth thinking about yelling at some SEC loser, "OH YEAH? WELL, THE PAC 16 OR WHATEVER THEY'RE CALLING IT HAS SO MUCH MORE SPEED THAN YOU." Then I'll chant "PAC 1-6! PAC 1-6!" at the top of my lungs and bark in their face. And then the Big Ten will be all like, "Oh yeah? Check out our yearly REVENUE." It'll be AWESOME.
But despite the excitement that will come with a new mega-conference, there's still some sympathy for the Big 12. It's given us some great memories over the past 14 years. So of course, let's remember the Big 12 with the top 14 moments in conference's short history. (Yes, it was difficult to not just put 14 Adrian Peterson highlights) I realize there will be disagreement, but it's really tough to narrow it all down. Don't like it? Make your own stupid list.
