What a surprise! Jerry Jones wants Arkansas (and ND?) to join the Big12.

Just when it looked like realignment in college athletics might be winding down, multiple sources in the Big 12 told Orangebloods.com Arkansas has put out feelers about a possible move to the Big 12 to reconnect with former Southwest Conference rivals like Texas and Texas A&M.

Those sources said Arkansas currently doesn't have the votes among the Big 12 schools to join the league. But those sources said they would need to see how the television money would work if adding a school or two to know if they'd vote for expansion.

Tom Keegan of the Lawrence Journal-World reported Thursday, according to sources close to Cowboys owner and Arkansas alum Jerry Jones, that Jones wants Arkansas and Notre Dame in the Big 12.

The Big 12 title game is under contract to be played at Cowboys Stadium for the next four years. But after the departure of Nebraska and Colorado, the Big 12 will no longer qualify for a title game after the 2010 season. Under NCAA rules, a league must have 12 schools to qualify for a championship game....

it's in the complete opposite border of the country from any of the Big 12 schools. :wtf:

is a delusional and senile old man.

if ND goes to the "Big 12". Yeah I sometimes think he (condem) is a bit senile, or he is just huffing paint again.

This saga would make for a great comedy along the lines of "Barbarians at the Gate"

unless the (not so) Big 12 changes its revenue sharing model, Arkansas won't give up the cash they get from the SEC.
