[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129482117, member: 1428007"] No, it's time for everything to be revealed here. OU has made themselves clear. There needs to be concrete comprehensive addressing of the real issues facing the conference and if not, they will need to consider other options. OUs preference is the BIG 12 conference strengthens itself and ends the disadvantages it now faces. Texas needs to reveal what I it's intentions are. It's long been rumored that they intend to stick it to the current membership at the time of contract renewal in 2025. If they don't want any changes in the conference regardless of how beneficial those moves will be to their conference mates then it's time they explain what and why to the membership in no uncertain terms as OU did. What is the benefit to Texas of stopping growth and success of the BIG 12 if indeed that is what is happening. Most believe that to be the case. The expansion committee and some others are already in favor of expansion but something is stopping them from making the move. The commissioner is claiming there isn't a desire to expand, but that is clearly only the feelings of a few, so why is he representing it as the entire conference's view? If the reason is a perceived threat, then the membership has a right to know. The bulk of the league needs to know what they are facing in the future or if some members have other intentions so that all can do what's best for them. If UT is content in the conference as recent comments suggest, then they need to lay out directly what they need to help the rest of the conference succeed rather than this vast difference in resources. There is no issue with determining how to handle existing tier 3 contracts. Boren again, expects the membership to address all issues at the same basic time, beginning with expansion which of course will take time to implement. [/QUOTE]
