Kill them with kindness. Why hasn't Tom thought of this?

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock -
Tom's version only included bus service if we lost. This poster turns that idea on its head, calling for bus service win or lose. Also, the bus will be friendly, apparently.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostFitter. Happier. More Productive.

I bet Tom was all for this friendly bus idea but the boys talked him out of it.Originally posted by TripletDaddy View PostComment

More accurately, it was probably only after some hard negotiating that Tom changed his mind about the bus idea.Originally posted by Omaha 680 View PostFitter. Happier. More Productive.

Here's my final data for the expansion story. Most of the data was provided by the schools. UC, Memphis declined.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

More from the Dude

I wouldn't make too much of the TV numbers... too many variables to allow apple to apple comparison.Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV Aug 23
If you are wondering why UH, BSU, CSU & SDSU are missing it's because I was told the B12 wouldn't consider them.Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV Aug 23
You can see how close the TV ratings are...but again that's only for metered nationally broadcast games.Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV Aug 23
It's clear there is a wide gap between BYU and the rest of the candidates.Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV Aug 23
It's also clear that - based on data only - ECU would have a slight lead over everyone else.Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV Aug 23
It's easy for me to understand why the Big 12 would want to wait and see if any of the AAC schools can separate themselves.Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV Aug 23
I know the Big 12 likes Memphis and the direction the Tigers are heading.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

Houston is not ready
All these numbers don’t mean that UH doesn’t belong in the Big 12, but just that they don’t belong in the Big 12 right now.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

USA Today's confusing article that implies no expansion but then proceeds to make the case for expansion while reiterating no need for expansion
The handwringing that ensued in Big 12 Conference circles over the makeup of last season's College Football Playoff was understandable, given the overwhelming attention paid to the new postseason format, but flawed in one respect: it drew conclusions from only one year of results.
It's too soon to claim the sky is falling, in other words, and too early to assume that being left out of the inaugural Playoff field demands a substantial shift in how the Big 12 as a whole goes about its football-playing business — adding a conference championship game, for instance.Hope comes in the form of programs once overshadowed by Texas, Oklahoma and other Big 12 powers. The next championship claimed by this conference won't be won by the Longhorns or Sooners; it will be won by Baylor, once the league's annual laughingstock, or TCU, which has made the most of its opportunity to enlist in a power conference. The growth of these two programs provides the best case for Big 12 expansion.Fitter. Happier. More Productive.
