Now that probably every conceivable wild rumor about the breakup of the Big 12 and the figuring out of who go goes where has probably been posted on the Internet at least five times,Sports Illustrated tells us that Dallas State Rep. Dan Branch will haul the whole mess before the state house’s higher education committee on Wednesday.

Texas Tech and Texas are both slated to have their respective boards of regents vote Tuesday about where they’ll be headed, but Branch thinks that now they may wait until after Wednesday. Tech, Texas and A&M have accepted invites to appear before the committee.
