[QUOTE="Charleston Mountie, post: 129566494, member: 1427666"] It is only about getting to the NCP. It is BOREN who has had made it a trifecta of EXPAND + Big12N + CCG. That mix in HIS mind improves the access to the NCP even further, but it was not the Big12's plan to expand to do those three things. You may call that splitting hairs, but it is a big hair. Stop reading into all of this what you want it to say. Now, I happen to agree all three things are indeed needed and I also agree that they improve the chances to enter the NCP on an even playing field with the other conferences, but I also realize, this process started with only one metric concerned. Expansion has only been about giving the Big12 the best path to the NCP. How we expand and where and with whom are the details that people have come to think of the reason for expansion and they are not. It is not about making more money or expanding TV markets or anything but getting the Big-12 on an even footing to access the NCP. [/QUOTE]
