The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Hot Lunch]

Will the attorneys in the room please tell me how that is possible if the Big East is holding Pitt and Syracuse to the 27 month limit?

West Virginia has better attorneys that Pitt and Syracuse.

It's official... And for 2012.

Did I miss something? The release omits Missouri from the conference. Has this been announced? I thought it was just speculation and a retracted SEC release to this point...

Oh, yeah! Operation: Destabilize the Big East is one step closer to completion.

Next up: LOUISVILLE.

When is BYU up next?

Can you explain to a relative newbie what you are referring too? You can PM me if you want. Thanks.

It probably was before your time. Posters who remember back to the late seventies/early eighties will recognize "Billy Carter" as a cliche (yes, even when Viking picks up a rock it's a boring cliche) derived from Jimmy Carter's alchoholic brother. However, Viking is so muddled and immature (though he's old enough in years that "Billy Carter" resonates with him) he's an exmo who still derives an outsized share of his personal identity from BYU, and thinks that anyone who left the LDS church, criticizes it (in a Socratic way), and takes a drink every now and then must be an alcoholic. He also appears to believe that a person's financial net worth is the whole measure of his character and success even in the material world. By that measure, yes, I am not fit to untie the thong of my brother's sandals (his net worth is nine figures). So is Viking, I suspect, though he tries hard to make us believe he's a Very Important Person, dropping names (even my brother's, at me!) and alleging inside soures everywhere that turn out to be a figment of his imagination.

When is BYU up next?

My prediction was only a final outcome, not a particular order.

My prediction was only a final outcome, not a particular order.

I think BYU will be the 12th member. I think it will coincide with Notre Dame moving all sports but football in the Big 12. I think BYU hoops will play in the WCC for 2-3 years before ND joins the Big 12 for football and BYU brings it other sports into the Big 12. The Big 12 will then add Boise State. This give BSU a few years to get its academic house in order.

So Louisville moves when Mizzou bolts to get it back to 11 and BYU moves when ND moves all sports except football.

Why you gotta mess with atheistcoug like that?

Why would that mess with me? Oh, right...hazing. My bad, carry on.

[Portland Ute]

Apparently so.

In your case it's not hazing.

[lambdacoug]

Apparently so.

Sure, if you believe it, it must be...

[lambdacoug]

In your case it's not hazing.

You should really let go of that hate...

uh, WAY too late to gravy train off the prediction I have been making all this time. Get your own conference realignment scenario. Some "pioneer" you are.

Hazing is usually a community testing a potential new member before they are accepted as part of said community.

I don't think the word applies to this situation.
