August 14, 2011: SEC: “The SEC Presidents and Chancellors met today and reaffirmed our satisfaction with the present 12 institutional alignment."...then accepts A&M a couple weeks later
August 2011: Oklahoma reassures the 8 remaining conferences it is committed to the conference...then bascially says they're on their way out Sept 3
August 31, 2011: PAC12: Our sole focus has been on developing the tremendous opportunities we have as a new, 12-team Conference and we have no current plans to expand the Pac-12...yeah right
The last line of the Katz article says it best
"Who can you trust now? It's so unfortunate that it has come to this," said a source with knowledge of the Big 12's situation. "Everyone is working independently. No one is being straight with anyone anymore."
Why doesn't somebody have the power to reprimand our college presidents and administrators for lying through their teeth? Come on Ken Starr...sue them.
