Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Yeah, that's what I meant by wrong. If the university actually printed that, there's a 0% chance they'd have printed it with old branding standards.

And what I am saying is the logo that is shown as printed IS correct for the Current standards, which they just updated this month, the lowercase logo is the OLD one. People were trying to say that the photo was fake because it was using the wrong logo, but it is not wrong, it is correct just so new (standards document was created less than a month ago and updated less than a week ago) people thought it was wrong

Ah ok, I misread the tweets about it. That said, the original person who posted it already took it down claiming he was just speculating and didn't have any actual info.

Yeah my point about the logo doesnt preclude it from still being fake, just that the debunking it by the logo wasnt a valid one

Big 12 ADs to go into room at 3 pm to “cross-pollinate” with presidents as one observer put it.

OMG, they're cross pollinating!!! This is too much!!!

 

[Santini35]

But it is still a secondary logo and not the primary preferred logo for this type of usage - correct?

Thats hard for me to say from just looking at the website, as I don't know if its a "extreme situation where space is limited or constrained", but it seems like it wouldn't be their first choice, but still a valid one if approved. It's likely either someone messing around or someone taking pre-emptive measures like they do for super bowl t-shirts etc

Poster on reddit says these are being printed on campus at UC right now

Oh my God, oh my God....get this out right now on Twitter....

You know what happens when there is cross pollination...

 

[The Viking]

Does cross pollinating mean an agriculture school is taken today?

First off how the hell do you turn down an offer to go inside the meeting? I would think the sports editor would ring your neck to not take them up unless they're seriously limiting what you can write about
On the other hand don't you think the conference has already made its mind up if they are inviting a journalist to the party? If there was bickering and ugliness the last thing a conference would want is a journalist in there to ruin their happy face a few hours later

Then maybe you shouldn't report on sausage for a living?

There is no way a media guy gets an invite to the meetings and declines it. I can't believe that Is real.

It's like Saddam Hussein inviting you into his tunnel for a private interview and you declined it.

meeting ending early suggests there was no vote on expansion candidates, etc.

Let the pollination begin.

That or they went into the meeting knowing what the result would be and voting on it as a formality.

I mean the Big 12 has been pretty methodical and operated in a rational way the entire time, so this is probably likely...

If no expansion, it took longer for all those schools to make their presentations than it did for the presidents to shoot them down.

You're missing a step here though. I don't know how the kid did it, but the first tweets were of an entirely different logo.

He switched them later.

That's why he was caught out.

Georgia Tech to the Big 12

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Seeing as we beat Cincinnati in football last week it would make sense for them to be invited ala Loserville.
