 * Delete Per WP:CRYSTALBALL. Fails "Individual scheduled or expected future events should only be included if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." (my bold) Sven Manguard  Talk  07:31, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete, concur with Sven. 28bytes (talk) 08:14, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete As things stand, a future non-event. Even if they get the two teams, I can't see why the "2011 Big 12 Championship Game" should have an article until it's been played. Anyway, this info is already contained in 2010 Big 12 Championship Game. Peridon (talk) 11:48, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Just out of curiosity, why don't they have a Big 10 instead? Peridon (talk) 11:49, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * At the university level of American football, a conference must have at least 12 members to be allowed to hold its own championship game. There is a major realignment of the conferences in progress, which, among other things, will result in the conference now known as the Big 12 Conference being reduced to 10 members, while the Big Ten Conference will expand to 12 members. However, there are no plans for them to swap names. Yes, it is somewhat odd. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 12:32, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
 * The more I learn about American football, the more rational cricket appears... Thanks for yet another of your clear explanations. Peridon (talk) 13:11, 11 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per Sven. This game is now very unlikely to take place. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 12:36, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete by all counts I can find, the game definitely will not happen. If it does, then that would be a change in plans.--Paul McDonald (talk) 17:49, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Save It: DUH!!! Every UT fan knows it won't be played, but people that think it will be need the information that it will not be played!!! PIandPIECenter (talk) 22:40, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, anyone who needs to know (like police, ice cream vendors and so on) will know - you say all fans will know - why would anyone else be interested anyway? Peridon (talk) 15:53, 14 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete: This information already exists both on 2010 Big 12 Championship Game and Big 12 Championship Game. I've also cleaned up the infobox in the 2010 article so that it no longer shows a link to the unneeded 2011 article. De  Fault  Ryan  15:57, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete: If the best argument for keeping it is that people need to know that it DOESN'T exist, that's a pretty good indication that it should be deleted. By that logic, we should create 2011 Summer Olympics to let people know that there is no Olympics in 2011. Bds69 (talk) 21:11, 17 October 2010 (UTC)
