[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129565925, member: 1459051"] Sorry, you are just way to sensitive. The Big 12 is not getting trashed. Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean they are trashing you. The articles you linked are making a legitimate point. It's very questionable if schools like Cincinnati or Central Florida are going to strengthen the Big 12 financially or otherwise. These are schools that don't have big fan bases or national appeal, and were not valued enough to be picked up by any of the other P5 conferences. It is certainly reasonable to question how viable those expansion scenarios actually are. It's also perfectly reasonable to report on some Big 12 officials or schools who question the wisdom or value of adding these teams. That's simply not trashing. You just want everything said about the Big 12 to be 100% positive, and you don't want see anything that calls into question the probability of conference expansion, which for some reason you see as some sort of Holy Grail. In short, you just want to have your own opinion reinforced and echoed. [/QUOTE]
