[QUOTE="steeleer, post: 129569691, member: 1484359"] Lots of words signifying nothing.. Your assertion was that UConn is on the B10 radar and that somehow academics are the driving force behind expansion, which flies in the face of of common sense. I said you're wrong and gave an exact example as to how you are wrong. You try to cloud the water because I don't have the AAU membership list memorized. My point hasn't changed and it isn't made less right. You try to impress with an expansive history of where this process has gone. The fact remains that a huge change like this doesn't happen overnight and the Big 10 had months if not years to see where this trend was going and ignored it. Why? You won't answer it with the truth because it makes you look worse here than you already do. It's because Nebraska is a blue-blood football entity and that overrides all....even academics (to a degree...Nebraska is still a very good school). Are you afraid to back up your self-importance or are you willing to actually back up your ego with a bet? It's really super simple...even for you. I'll even extend it to 15 years if that will help. All current GORs will have cycled out by then, so there will no longer be any excuses for you to hide behind. I have all the time in world to prove you wrong. Is this a bet or not? Either put up or shut up because you are boring the crap out of me at this point. Again, I would be fine with tacking this up for future reference. [/QUOTE]
