FTFY.
It just so happens "We will do what's in the best interest of ISU" at the present moment equals "We are committed to the Big 12".
The story has been a roller-coaster but we have the right people to get us through. Have faith in JP. I am sure he is doing all that can be done.
I believe the b12 will survive. If not, we will end up in AQ conference. Our athletics department will be fine. Our school will be fine.
I don't see the other conferences making a move frankly. I don't believe the media hype about super conferences. Yep some will go to 16, but not all of them. I don't think ACC wants 16 teams. And Big 10's history has shown me that they will not expand. They did this time to get the title game. Not many reasons for them to expand further unless they can poach ACC and I think the ACC is solid.
That is why I think the Big East is stable. The media does a good job of making people think otherwise with their super conference theory. But it is just a theory right now.
And how does any of that point to stability?
It doesn't, and as a matter of fact you are making my point for me.
The Big East will not offer stability. It's a short term answer at best.
I don't see a difference.
We know that as of right now, our most lucrative position is in the Big 12. Until the Big 12 blows up, it's in the best interest of ISU to stay here.
Also, if we had a good plan somewhere, Pollard would NEVER betray his hand.
Wrong. Prospective members aren't relying on media reports to gauge conference stability. Smart men in high places are having closed-door conversations that we probably know nothing about. Doesn't mean that something good for ISU will come of all this, but it does mean that it's not worth freaking out every 5 minutes after some stupid *** media report hits the web.
Rep gun needs reloading.
Some people just don't get it, refuse to do the research to get it, and simply won't get it until a year or three from now ISU comes out just fine in the end.
This is actually a good point. Strange isn't it how Baylor went quiet all of a sudden...how the Texas legislature said if A&M was leaving they would have to take a look at it and now they say they are not going to do that?? Interesting change of positions on both accords.
That is BS. You are selling our program short. Yes, our best hope is the Big XII surviving, but it is not doom and gloom if it doesn't. We will still be in a BCS conference if it doesn't. And Pollard is working ensure that.
Baylor went quiet because the got ******* slapped when they did open their mouth. Ken Starr is a fool.
Still waiting for a link to your supposed Sooner message board posting from a few pages back.
On a side note, I am afraid that Baylor might be our 2nd toughest game this year after OU. RGIII is AMAZING tonight!
Okay, time to call you out. You have no problem calling everyone else out, but have provided ZERO facts, links, or even logic to back up your statements.
Until you can back something up, you are just flinging stuff against the wall and calling people out who don't take it as gospel.
Boren said those words, along with many others that weren't represented in the media report.
