I honestly believe the reason the B12 was so public about this process was to get more money from the tv networks. They played everyone for their financial gain. If they really wanted to add schools they would have done it privately.

Are the BYU reps riding around on bicycles with helmets and a white shirt and tie?

NOT REALLY

 these schools are fools and look desperate

the non power 5 schools should take my advice and break away from ncaa and form a new association with playoffes

Love this idea. We wouldn't have to follow all the BS NCAA rules as well.

Decision wasn't really unanimous according to BMM .

They will expand eventually or be dismantled.  Remove TX and OU and you don't have much better than the Mountain West.  Their are only so many brands that can carry a conference each has 2-3, except the SEC.

I think that OSU and Texas Tech believe that OU and UT will take care of them and that's why the conference can't get a super majority.

Wow

Everybody knows this is true, but it's amazing to see a B12 A.D. actually say that out-load and on-record

It would be funny to see them tear themselves apart, but they have too much motivation to stay together. All they have to do is look at what happened when the BE re-formed as the AAC.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
