      I dunno, we need the infusion of money and better games going forward. Every year is not like this one and 2013 on the indy schedule. Next year there's a whole lot of crap after the first few weeks. H/H with P5 teams is hard to get, much easier in Big 12.
      Will donate kidney for B12 membership.

      • At least no one will need to watch the presser on BYUtv.

        "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

            It's cheap and easy and people care. And they scheduled it precisely because they DIDNT know how it would turn out.

            • If the rumor of the LBGT movement killing BYU is true then I find it funny that both Cincinnati and Houston have been rumored to have pushed it to the media.

                Nobody cares now. If you didn't know how it would turn out, don't schedule it, precisely for the reason that now you look like idiots.

                  Or maybe expansion isn't as dead as everyone assumes it is... To be honest, all we have are reports from sources, I'll save my meltdown for the press conference.

                      Idiots? A little strong. Its still newsworthy for BYUtv's audience, good or bad.
                      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                        Hehe... might be true:

                        Two events shifted the tenor of expansion exploration. The first came in early August when FoxSports.com wrote an article indicating the potential backlash from the LGBT community against BYU if the Cougars were admitted. BYU was the prohibitive favorite to join the league, and when it became politically untenable to take the school, which is owned and operated by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the entire tenor of expansion changed.


                        The inability to add BYU then cooled the expansion enthusiasm of Oklahoma president David Boren. Boren had long favored expansion and publicly pushed the league to pursue it, even calling the Big 12 “psychologically disadvantaged” in its current 10-member state. Boren’s public comments in mid-September that the conference wasn’t guaranteed to expand basically foreshadowed the league coming to this conclusion.
