[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129565794, member: 1428007"] Article from Oklahoma--follow up to their BOR outburst. Sums up the situation pretty well: excerpt: [SIZE=6][B][URL='http://thefranchiseok.com/ou-regents-should-pipe-down-and-trust-david-boren/']OU regents should pipe down and trust David Boren[/URL][/B][/SIZE] The first reaction here this morning was that Weitzenhoffer probably shouldn’t be going against the grain like that. Boren’s moves are always carefully calculated, and he has put OU in a position of power — socially, politically, economically, and certainly athletically — that the school has never known. Boren knows what he’s doing. If he wants to use his and his school’s clout to spearhead Big 12 expansion, then the OU regents need to trust that Boren is once again making the right move, that his forcing the expansion issue surely will fortify the school’s position. That could mean as the new landlord in the Big 12, an era in which OU, not Texas with its current vacuum of power, wields the true influence and shapes conference policy for the next generation. New leadership in Austin means an opportunity in Norman. Or, it could mean OU has tired of the league’s reactive mentality that has continued to diminish its authority among other conferences and the Sooners leave the Big 12 altogether to share in the riches of the Big Ten Conference or the Southeastern Conference or maybe even the Pac-12 Conference. Whatever the result, the OU regents should trust Boren. He is the Big 12’s only person to preside over every year of the league’s existence, and he and Castiglione and Stoops are the nation’s longest-tenured president-AD-head football coach triumvirate.
