CU's Prez was openly vocal against adding the Oklahoma schools. I think they would gladly add OU and UT, it's the hangers on that will cause problems.

Add Colorado to that who didn't sound pleased in their last interview and possibly Utah who wouldn't love being in an Eastern division with AZ/ASU/CU/OSU/OU/TT/UT. That would be enough votes stop this whole business.

For this one, go to the "Big XII Conference" forum. Click on the # of replies, and it brings up that window.
If the Big East and Big 12 merged, would the conference still be the Big 12 so that ISU, KU, KSU, Mizzou, and Baylor get to split the exit fees?
OU board of regents just gave Boren power to do what's necessary regarding conference affiliation. This ****** seems familiar...
Edit: Why is s-c-r-i-p-t censored? I like to think of myself as a connoisseur of swear words, is this a curse that's just flown under my radar all these years?

I think we can safely assume OSU president will get the same power on Wednesday
I am in 8th and what is even sadder is more than 50% of my total posts are in this thread.
Especially regarding TT and OSU.
ESPN is the main entity driving this madness. They are throwing out all sorts of garbage hoping for realignment. Problem for them is they don't run Cal or Stanford. Plus there may be at least 2-4 other PAC schools that don't want this deal. Scott is in some very deep water now.
So there could be another major pause before the PAC announces anything. Which gives Boren and UT more time to figure out how to kiss and make up.
I think the opinion is that 5 teams have to stay, but there would probably be a negotiated settlement. At least that is mine and I could be wrong.

Boren says OU has not decided to officially leave B12 yet. Staying in B12 "still on the table"

CU's president didn't want UT. Not TT (which I doubt he wants them either as the '4' will no doubt make CU's west coast visits a lot fewer) or OSU or even OU.
He has seen the carnage that UT can bring to a conference. ALTHOUGH, I'm not so down on UT at this point as NU, A&M and OU have all been there marching lock step with UT on all the things that weaken our conference...and then have thrown us all under the bus and blame UT on the way out the door.
Sure, UT is a pain in the ***...but they put food on the table. OU, NU, and A&M are a pain in the *** that steal the food and run off.
BTW...OU leading this search committee and then doing all of this may cause Baylor to sue as well (just my hunch). OU should have stepped aside or completed their fiduciary responsibility to the B12 and called all of the targeted teams. Pitt obviously wanted to leave the BE. OU's reckless need to be blown screwed up one of our best shots at expansion and very well could cost the B12 it's existence.
BTW2...toss 'Boomber' off this board please. My hate for OU was always plenty high...this recent back stabbing by those toothless jack ***** has pushed my disdain for them beyond the brink. The last thing I want to read on here is propaganda from that dip ****. If I want to know what a moron with a 45 IQ thinks I'll call up one of my tavern hawk fan neighbors. We don't need to be importing ignorance here.
