Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 1613351, member: 1414"] You both mistake his intent in all of this. Money from athletics is just a part of it. Ask yourself, would he rather promote the University of Oklahoma to HS kids in Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee or Connecticut and NY (Westchester at a minimum)? Boren is embarking on the journey UConn started already. He wants it to be seen academically as a destination school, more like a Michigan or Wisconsin or Texas. Boren "gets it" at a level far beyond these talking heads sports imbeciles, who keep thinking that this is just about football. The Big Ten schools can already attract kids from our region, although UConn in the league would help them. The Big XII? This part of the country has the top performing high schools and plenty of money to spend on what will look like cheap tuition even out of state. [/QUOTE]
