[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129580111, member: 1428007"] The conference never got to the point of voting on expansion--they told us that is still something they are looking at through the summer. The issue at hand was a conference network which generates the levels of revenue necessary to expand and give everyone a boost to make them competitive with their peers. As Boren said a week or two ago--if there's no network, there's no reason to expand. UT stopped the expansion--said themselves they didn't think it was necessary and didn't see the LHN being adjusted in any way. The next day the conference voted (as UT had requested and suggested the previous day) to have only a CCG with 10 members--because that benefits Texas while expansion helps the entire conference. Only fools like you said I had "influence". I simply discussed a situation which morons like yourself will obviously never comprehend. You were more than happy to help out anyone trying to wreck the BIG 12 so you should be celebrating the success of your efforts instead of attacking me though. I was for the efforts that would have kept UT and OU happy and in the conference long term while you were playing make believe that the ACC was crumbling and that thousands of fans being stirred up to hate the BIG 12 on social media complaining about schools being in the BIG 12 wouldn't have any affect on the leaders of the schools-- as though they operate in a vacuum. Your goal is achieved. UT and OU will leave, everyone else will be scrambling unless taken along for the ride and the schools you ridiculed and berated will likely get their turn to turn the tables in a short while.
