Message: <blockquote data-quote="Buckaineer" data-source="post: 129566326" data-attributes="member: 1428007">Dennis Dodd is determined to end the BIG 12 that is for sure--he has been doing hit pieces on the conferences attempts to adopt comprehensive changes and this just adds to his yellow journalism.They don't address the grant of rights, just act like it doesn't exist or something.  Mostly injecting what they want to see rather than anything coming from the conference.OUs president Boren has stated his preference is to keep OU in the BIG 12 but it must be a stable BIG 12, not one that is far behind others financially or otherwise and that is why he wants to implement the comprehensive changes.  He has said that he'll have to look at OUs situation long term if changes are not implemented.But this is the problem the league is facing.  If comprehensive improvements aren't implemented--what does that mean?  Some here and elsewhere are projecting that means everything is fine--but what it probably means is some do have their sights set elsewhere, and we know OU isn't going to be happy with the feet dragging and inaction (again).  The conference can't sit for a decade without doing anything and so undoubtedly (bad) things are going to be happening as soon as schools like OU know nothing is going to be done to fix the disadvantages facing the conference.If Texas blocks these things as some suggest, that also indicates their intentions--they want no changes so that they have the option to go elsewhere down the road if they choose.  The other institutions would be foolish at that point to do anything to support UT in anything at the peril of their own schools.  They really cannot do that.</blockquote>
