  • So Greg Swaim of Big Time Sports sez:



    Seems like OU is playing hardball with the B12. Expand or die.

    • Brandon Chatmon continues to be a huge jerk

      Chatmon: There aren't any realistic options here. Despite the loss of rivalries and change in culture, Nebraska should be happy with the decision to head to the Big Ten and I can't think of any reason why Arkansas would leave the SEC. Both programs are in pretty good situations right now. If I was in charge of the Big 12, I would go all out to try to find a way to pry away Clemson, Florida State and/or Virginia Tech from the ACC. I don't see that happening though. And that's why I'm not on the expansion bandwagon. There simply aren't many good reasons to do so right now.

        Gee talking about expansion now... he loves the Big 12. He likes having 10 teams. If they add they add for the right reasons.

        "BYU would be a very good addition to the Big 12." - E. Gordon Gee.

        We're looking at many factors...eyes on screens...and academics...
        Glad to see another denial of expansion followed quickly by an inadvertent admission that they are exploring expansion.

          Tom asked about BYU's chances of getting into the Big 12; "I really can't comment on that."
          "It's devastating, because we lost to a team that's not even in the Pac-12. To lose to Utah State is horrible." - John White IV

                Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

                For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

                Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

                  Not NEARLY as disappointed as everyone is that you've betrayed yours...

                          • If B12 gets shut out again, they expand

                            http://espn.go.com/college-football/...otball-playoff

                            accompanying video is interesting.

                            Opposing Power 5 coaches throughout the country have been outspoken this offseason about the need for more uniformity in college football, pushing for everyone to play the same amount of league games and have a title game -- comments indirectly aimed at the Big 12 and Notre Dame.

                              Funny how some Utah fans are so insecure that even any mention of BYU joining a completely different P5 league than the one the utes belong to seems to scare them. Ridiculous. This has nothing to do with Gordon Gee's alma mater.
