[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129500049, member: 1428007"] Many people have been brainwashed back in the last realignment to believe that the ACC is doomed and that their schools are coming to the BIG 12. There may now be BIG 12 leaders who believe this. Problem is they didn't act when they could and should have, and now its too late. There are different groups posting though. Some clearly have an agenda to keep the BIG 12 from doing anything-hoping it will fall apart. They tell everyone the conference can't do anything. It's doomed. Of course their agenda is that certain teams will go elsewhere. They hope to create a grass roots movement all the way up to presidents and chancellors to keep the conference from doing anything until the agenda is accomplished. Then you have those -some even fall partly in the first group--they think if the BIG 12 waits long enough, those ACC teams are coming. Problem is they ignore that the ACC isn't anywhere near a state of collapse and worse, if the BIG 12 isn't proactive then it won't matter down the road if any of them ever do become available. The BIG 12 won't be in place to attract them. and then you have those that think they are too good for others. All of these groups refuse to look at the facts. Boren and Gee are trying to get this across to the membership as well. Its time to move past the stories and fables and get on with dealing with the situation from a point of fact, not what some want to be. [/QUOTE]
