    No kidding. What would a similarly honest statement from Holmoe do for things? I think some of the frustration is all of the guesses that have gone on over what's happening. Maybe he is being honest--nothing's happened?
    At least the Big Ten went after a big-time addition in Nebraska; the Pac-10 wanted a game so badly, it added Utah

      Well, if BYU was firmly convinced that Indy/WCC was the status quo they wanted to maintain indefinitely, I could see them issuing a similarly detailed statement, but since they are keeping their options open I believe they have a little more delicate balancing act to maintain with present and future partners.

          B12: Swing for the fences and invite Miami, Florida State, Clemson, Louisville, Notre Dame....and BYU :rockon1:

          The Big 12 has, on multiple occasions, found itself on life support in the last couple of years of conference realignment. For a brief moment, however, it has a chance to go on the offensive. It should not waste the opportunity.Follow @SBNationCFB

            I think it's notable that BYU was listed first by this expert commentator. It had nothing to do with alphabetical order.

              DeLoss Dodds wants the press to pay attention to him, speaks for the entire conference



              Of course, any comments from any school or conference officials about anything concerning potential realignment stir everyone up. I should add that I tried to reach new Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby for his opinions but he was not available. I know everyone thinks Dodds is the de facto commissioner — and even Bowlsby referred to Texas as the “800-pound gorilla” a week ago — but I read it as Dodds has the confidence and bravado to speak on any issues that might affect his school or conference, and he has that right.

                  I didn't see anywhere in the article where Chip even aludes to hurt feelings. I think that's a stretch, bro.

                        Why would you drive all the way to Dayton, Ohio? Don't you have a family member who gets you a buddy pass on the airlines?

                          Who could possibly miss the scenic I-70 stretch from Denver to Dayton? A 35,000 foot view simply doesn't do it justice.

                                Well, it does go through God's country - a section of I-70 between Columbia, MO and St. Louis. Other than that, it's a crappy drive.
