[QUOTE="Beechurst, post: 132088116, member: 1982353"] I think Buck learned “shill” from me. I’m not particularly proud of it, but I used to label him as such quite often during the last Big 12 non-expansion, when he advocated multiple times daily for the conference to add “somebody…anybody” (including UConn or Memphis or UCF or USF or ECU or Army or Navy or Boise State or BYU or Cincinnati or others as desperately necessary to “solidify” the league “for all time”). None of those schools and its feeding mouth would have persuaded Texas or OU to reject an SEC offer. As I said back then, the B12 schools would make a lot more money sticking at 10 schools, which they surely have. Buck was desperate for a coveted “championship game” to add a data point and value to the league’s CFP chances. That WAS DONE, without diluting member shares because of totally unnecessary expansion. Times have changed. I no longer oppose Buck’s desire for the B12 to expand. Timing is everything. [/QUOTE]
