[QUOTE="skygusty_rivals, post: 129489021, member: 1500287"] Thanks. I have assumed all along that the people actually voting on this in the BIG12 in February are not only more informed than I am, but also that each voting member knows where his or her school stands not only on the subject of expansion, potential revenue and potential problems but which candidates are desirable for their school and which are non-starters. For instance, Gee may indeed be interested in expansion but not if the two schools are BYU and either Tulane or Colorado State. Other presidents may also have problems if the candidates are UCONN and Cinncy or Memphis. Some schools appear to have problems with adding anybody. I have no idea what each individual school thinks about expansion or each of the 6 or so schools that are possible. I have said that I am not personally excited by the idea of expansion with the candidates out there but that I will also be able to live with whatever decision they make. I will remain a WVU fan but like the guy from TCU said, I think 10 is a beautiful number and a profitable number. My preference would be that Texas and Oklahoma make some compromises that they can both live with because they are the core of the conference. If either one is too greedy to compromise and make the BIG12 work then I hope the door hits them in the *** on the way out. It seems that Boren is the biggest agitator and Buck is his biggest supporter. You guys have fun with this but I don't think you are moving the needle with the guys who will be doing the voting. I'll just wait until Big12 actually makes an announcement. Until then, just in case Buck is getting money for eyeballs on this thread, I'll sit it out from here on. [/QUOTE]
