    Didn't statman already confirm that such a clause exists, at BYU insistence? And that it was going to cost 300MM or something like that? 70mm is a bargain.

        It's a death clause, man. You leave and you pay $70 million and then you are put to death. That should secure the kind of loyalty the Big-12 needs.

        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."

                There is some noise on OB about a radio station in Kansas City which is reporting that OU may stay. Something about ESPN sweetening their tier 3 deal. Most likely a rumor.

                          That "who the hell knows" tweet was minutes after his OU staying tweet. I don't think he was changing his tune on his "source", but he is right. Who the hell knows.

                            God knows.....well actually, come to think of it He probably has no idea what OU is going to do.

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

                              What is UT like Dollars? OU has made more than UT in the BIG 12. Or are they talking about a network like the LHN?

                                Are you talking about TV revenue? Oklahoma made more the last two seasons, but it's switched back and forth over the years.
