    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

      Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

        I actually hope it is just like that.

            These are hollow words about Title IX. If you don't comply, the Feds will nix all funding.

              The Big XII will consider expansion.

                "Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                    So, we got a definite maybe.

                        Absolutely. I was expecting them to say it is shelved indefinitely. They basically said they are going to expand without saying it.

                            So all the national media guys saying definite no to expansion were wrong. The Big 12 could have said that but they didn't. If they don't want to expand then why wouldn't they just say so?

                              Yep. This is actually a good thing. Boren is talking about vetting 2 to 4 teams. I sort of like BYU's chances a little more.
