Tim I think you're pretty close on your mega-conference theory. To me it seems like a one-sided deal ie real good for a&m if it were to go down. I know Texas is a hotbed for recruiting and marketing, but I think the longhorns pretty much own that state much like Ohio st. does Ohio.

Mhall I knew you were gotleib's biggest fan. Better watch out I hear he's done p90x now....twice!

Four 16 team conferences sounds like a defacto playoff system to me.
