Does anybody else think that OU just came up with a list of demands that they knew would never get done so they don't look like they are at fault for destroying the Big 12 and can move to the PAC with a clean conscience?

It has been 4 years since I have posted, call me a lurker, or maybe there has been all to often highly intelligent conversations that need nothing added to diminish their IQ level.
I agree 90% with Falcon.
I also listened to finebaum today. Granted, it is for the most part a good ole backwater Alabamer pissing match. But the caller today was different. His story was too authentic. After he hung up, and as I let his story sink in, it all made sense.

For too long, I've been thinking, "We are the Freakin SEC. There is no way we are going to sit back and watch these lesser conferences cherry-pick their way to our status while we sit back and only take soon to be homeless schools who add little to nothing to the SEC." I'm not going to name schools, but there have been a few names that have been thrown out that make you think, "And why are we expanding again??????"
Falcon, No doubt, OU has clearly made demands that OU knows cannot and will not be delivered. I laughed when I heard them and thought the exact same thing. But OU to the PAC tit is a forest. OU talked to them so they could come back to the big 12-2-1 and say this system and this commish sucks. Change it all; knowing it's not going to happen.
OU also knows that playing in the PACeasy doesn't make sense for them. #1, Texass may end up there, and OU's goal is to distance itself from Texass. #2, OU, along with OSU, Mizzou and aTm makes Texass look like an idiot standing by itself if the other 4 bolt to a conference that won't take Texass, leaving Texass little leverage to join another conference. Granted, they would be able to get into another conference, but would have to make concessions because they have been left out in the cold and lost their hollier than thow status.
So where does that put OU??? SEC!!!! What better recruiting tool for OU, OSU & aTm to use against Texass than to say, "If your son comes here, you'll be able to watch a majority of his conferences games only car drive away. And he'll be playing SEC ball. If your boy goes to Texass, I hope you have accumulated quite a few frequent flier miles for those trips to Washington, Oregon and Colorado.
Finally, Slive's silence has been too eery. Either he's a lazy idiot, or a very smart attorney who cut his deal long ago and is letting OU, OSU are flirt with the PAC to support the fact that the SEC is not tampering. I'm hoping it's the ladder.
OU, OSU, Mizzou, aTm... Welcome aboard
