It's also funny how they are talking about how long they've been discussing this.

I mean, all those board meetings we saw over the last year that were executive session were probably for exactly this. There was just no way to confirm it until we got the final vote in public.

One thing that I'd like to see is Iowa State acting like we are a premier school in this conference. It's us, the Kansas schools, and Oklahoma State. We are the schools that have been around since the Big 8. Our views should matter more than anyone who we saved by inviting them into this conference.

I'm kind of kidding, but not really. ;)

Right and I understand why they kept it quiet. It just annoys me that the media was so sure they weren't talking.

Two years ago, you can bet Iowa State was talking with anyone that would pick up a phone. Of course our Board of Regents is filled with idiots wo don't really support Iowa State.

Just removing Texas from the situation at least gets those schools an appropriate voice, if not authoritative.

True. But honestly, the 4 remaining schools saved Texas 25 years ago. All this conference does is hang around like a crazy person and throw lifelines to schools in trouble ;) And that's us, the Kansases, and Oklahoma State. It's high time we act like we really are the king makers!

Honestly, I'm kind of bummed right now. The last 24 hours have been fun, crazy and emotional all wrapped up in one great thread. Now it's back to waiting and speculation for when the next domino will fall.
