[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129483125, member: 1428007"] Its not my opinion, its the statement the president of the University of Oklahoma has made about the situation. Get it though. You don't believe the conference is at a disadvantage-even though the playoff committee and the commissioner and other conference leaders says it is. You don't believe the conference will get more revenue for expansion even though one of the top leaders in the conference states it will-oh and he also happens to be on the expansion committee. You don't think that expansion would be good for WVU even though the president of WVU is for expansion and wants up to 14 teams. You don't think there are any candidates that can be added even though the committee made up of WVU's president, Baylor's president and Oklahoma's president have researched the matter for well over a year along with media consultants and identified 6 or 7 candidates that would be additive. And now you don't believe that Oklahoma is going to do anything when the president of that school has stated its time or his school will have to consider different options. Oh, but you do believe a conference that has all its rights owned by the primary network for college sports, has a far larger footprint than the BIG 12, has been getting better tv ratings the last couple of years and has won a championship or played for one three years running is going to collapse, and for some reason their schools are going to want to come to a conference that if they do as you want will stand still over the next 9 years and just wait for schools to flock to it (even though they'll still have two years remaining on a grant of rights).
