I've had that feeling since the story came out too. The timing is a little too coincidental.

well technically, he's correct is he not?

Yeah, I've never understood the "keep the two together." My understanding is there's nothing about keeping them together, but if there's a chance they will split the Board of Regents will have a say. Who knows what that means?

I read an article that claimed BigO decided to stay in the B12 after all, but it was out of his hands at that point in time as the decision has been made by people above him.

Let me help you with a little thing called perspective.

I was refering to a guy who is certain that he has more prowess at football talent evaluation than people who are actually paid to perform the service.

Again, I said a guy who watches reruns of games on NFLN or tivo thinks he knows more about pro athletes, and the evaluation of them than guys who have been in the industry all of their lives, who live and breathe the game, and who, after years of working their way up the ranks of coaching, finally get a break, and make it to the big leagues.

This is also the same guy who, after professing his opinion is "unbiased" on the subject of MCBB, proceeds to attempt the tearing down of one of the most prestigeous programs in the history of the sport. All the while, fluffing an MU program that has done nothing of consequence in ANY field of sporting endevor, and out of the other side of his face claiming not to have an emotional affiliation with said program.

It's only my opinion, but I think I'm better than a person under that sort of delusion. Please feel free to change my mind if you think you're capable.

Nothing to do with fandom. I can't stand people who say they are better than others, period. Yes, we can argue which school is better, etc, but to say one person is better than another.... :grr:

He owns the state.

Board of Regents informally agree to go to the Big Ten

I read the same article, said that TO was getting cold feet, so his superiors made the choice for him

I think you forgot an 't in there somewhere. :D

My biggest fear is the Kansas Board of Regents screwing KU up the ass with their gavel.

if the Big 12 implodes then KU should go to the ACC/Big East and KSU should go take Boise St place in the MWC.

Yeah, the board has already claimed that they would like to keep the two schools together ideally, but they were not going to force anything. In other words, it's every man for himself as far they're concerned.

I think that would be the best scenario if big12 sinks for both schools IMO

Honestly, it should be a matter of if only one team (either one) can get into a BCS conference, they should allow it even without the other.

Not even close to an overstatement there. Attended a friend's wedding in Columbus last year. Even the women talk about TO (this is what they all called him) like he's the second coming of Jesus.
