The talk of Big 12 teams leaving for the Pac 12 *is* idiocy. I'm not saying it's going to happen. I think it won't.

The point I was responding to is CAAR's stupid one that Bob Bowlsby might work something out with the Pac 12 for ISU/Kansas/Kansas State to switch conferences. I think that's pure ridiculous idiot-talk, BUT if the Big XII DOES arrange something for the teams to go, AND the teams agree to it (which, again, is NEVER going to happen), the grant of rights will NOT keep it from happening. That'll be torn up and tossed out the window, and the move will happen (which it won't).
