No nightmare for me. I'm a pessimist and as such I am already prepared for the worst. If any positive expansion news occurs, I'll be happy.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostComment

Here is a Big 12expansioncontraction nightmare (for CU and NU)....
With $35M to $40M they should have plenty of money to attract BYU and other big fish to the new Big 12 long before they have to think about a new contract (especially given that UT and OU have promised their money back to the Big 12).Timetable. Nebraska will be leaving the Big 12 after this season. Colorado might exit with the Cornhuskers or remain one more season before going to the Pac-10.
Liquidated damages. The exit payment from Nebraska and Colorado to the league has been estimated at $35 million to $40 million. Five schools – Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and Missouri – had pledged their portion to Texas, Oklahoma and Texas A&M to ensure at least $20 million annually to those three schools from the league. UT and OU have said they don't intend to collect. But the issue is still not settled. Beebe hopes a special meeting or teleconference of athletic directors next month might bring clarity."If there is one thing I am, it's always right." -Ted Nugent.

"Yet I still see wisdom in that which Uncle Ted posts." -creek.

I'm sure it's wonderful being on the outside looking in and finding this quite humorous. Trust me, we feel the same way when we see the train wreck of a season of another conference shifting team in this state when they had pretty unrealistic aspirations entering the year. It's nice thinking highly of our team, and the best possible outcome, but reality can often hurt more than we like it to.Comment

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."
