    Why is Boren annoucing Big-12 developments?
    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."

      It's kind of funny. Didn't Babs tell a story a couple of weeks ago about how Boren and some other politician delayed a dinner for like a half hour because they were arguing over who would enter the room last? Or was it first?

            That makes sense. They are still feeling the need to save face, and they just finished their conference call.

              Schools are solid... 6 year grant of rights tier 1 and tier 2 tv rights goes a year beyond the current TV deal...

                This is a PR move designed to help OU save face after Scott threw them under the bus.

                  Grant of rights from TV revenue for six years.

                  Wow. That is binding.

                    Exactly. Scott is one cunning leader.

                          The OU presser gave more info than the Missouri presser. Now Q&A for Mizzou.

                            I hope he ends this by noting that he said at the beginning that Oklahoma would not be a wallflower in all of this and that, indeed, Oklahoma has not been a wallflower in all of this.

                              Expansion committee to go to work right away.

                              Working group formed to find additional steps to further strengthen conference and make it more stable.
