How in the world is it more graphically challenged or time consuming than it is today?  The AAC athletes already travel to Dallas, Storrs,  and Tulsa today on a $2 million payout?  The B12 schools have a $30 million payout 

Money is not the only issue as it is also distance. Our $2 million is not what pays for athletics its student fees. Do you think Big 12 wants to spend extra money to travel to Storrs when that money could be put to other use?    I am not saying the Big 12 cannot afford I am saying they would not want to shell out extra money and the time it takes to travel there.

Internal B12 report leaked:

I don't think that's a B12 report. I think that is a report commissioned by someone in one of the universities hoping to be considered. Specifically Northern Illinois.

Not a ******* chance this legit. 100% ********. I don't even know where to start, but I'll give you one place. First page, no one would EVER, EVER, EVER, use the phrase "decent numbers for TV sets" in an official report. Second, NIU is about 85th in line to join the Big 12 and this report is all over their jock. 

[Triple B]

Looks like it's something done by an NIU booster encouraging the university to go after a B12 invite.

What's interesting is that the reasearch firm feels that SMU is one of the potentials.

sure sounds like a NIU production.   Also it labels San Diego State as having great facilities... that stadium is a dump

Odd. I was expecting "tepid" interest. But there you have it.

EDIT: "Strong" is a weird intensifier unless you're talking about a weight lifting team or odors.

Yes no one uses "decent" in a official report or even a draft.   Even Boise state grads probably know this.

At least the write the word "Draft" all over the documents in case there is a typo...
