So what's the problem? Well, it's not so much that Louisville made some kind of last minute presentation to the Big 12 or anything as much as it's the fact that the schools aren't all in agreement that West Virginia is the better choice.


Assumming the conference actually votes on the 10th member, who stands where?

TCU/Mizzou- do either get a vote?
OK State(Pickens) "needs to be convinced on West Virginia"
Are Texas & OU on the same page? West Virginia is claiming that McConnelll got Boren to switch to UL.
Does Baylor get a vote or have they traded it to Texas?

I realize this conference is completely dysfunctional, and probably wont be around in ten years. I love these two quotes is morning.

quote:

"I can't confirm the accuracy or inaccuracy of that report. All I'd say is Texas and Oklahoma are working very well together right now," Boren said.

Athletic director Joe Castiglione said he, too, was caught off-guard when the Big 12 announced Monday that there were discussions by the league's board of directors about creating a "conference dedicated TV network."

"I really don't have the information to support why they made that statement," Castiglione said, noting that athletic directors weren't part of the board meeting. "It has not been broached, or at least not recently."

"Maybe they're trying to build a consensus or excitement and anticipation," he added. "I don't know."

I'm in favor of WVU.

Solid football and basketball teams.

In terms of geography it sucks.

In terms of academics(for those that give a damn) it's poor(but no worse than TTech or OSU).

Bottom line is who else(not already committed)worth a damn is worth inviting and actually wants to be in the Big whatever right now?

If the SEC could find a worth 16th team, I'd love to have both WV and Mizzou.

That being said, I don't see a worthy 16th team out there.
