So if this really does go to mid October it could a sign of B12 paralysis more than anything else.

A few things:
1) We do appreciate stuffing our faces with BBQ, though you might rightly not consider it elite BBQ or even BBQ at all (mostly it's grilling but there are a few smokers hidden in the area)
2) There are a million places to get a good burger here.
3) You don't know what good pizza, lobster, or clam chowder taste like.
Since we're detail oriented types up here, we've already calculated that it takes an hour longer to get to WV if you fly into Pittsburgh and only a half hour shorter if you fly directly into Morgantown.

Do really need to have a meeting on the definition of a "commuter school?" It means a school where the lion share of students don't spend time on campus other than going to class. If you live in an off campus area that has been housing students since the Johnson administration you can safely consider that to be campus housing for the purposes of CR discussion.

This is also consistent with our perceptions of the B12 and it's key players. Of course they can't agree on similar goals. They don't have similar goals. The question is can they compromise on a set of agreeable outcomes. The "Texas problem" is why they are stuck.
They have to ignore all of the facts and data because of the governor. And because of realignment Rule #1.

That's insulting to clowns. I would say its more of a donkey show, but I'm pretty sure that watching one of those ranks as far classier as well

It really is. The big 10, ACC, pac 12 marvel in comparison to the dysfunction the big 12 has shown to the public that it's in. That being said.....UCONNBIG12

I really don't think the B12 is screwed up, just TX is, and the league is impacted by that instability.
What is the B12 supposed to do exactly if UT wants to be a free agent in 2025?
They are probably working 20+ models on what their next best move is. They certainly know their next best move is probably something better than committing to a league that adds teams like UH, UC, BYU, UCF, UConn, etc.
OU is smart in that they know joining the SEC makes the path to the playoffs 100x harder.

The longer this dragged on this was always the probable outcome. Data presentations were supposed to clarify the best path forward for the league. Texas has just clarified that the future of the league is not a major priority for them. Now you have to see how the other institutions react and whether this becomes an ugly public fight, or just a weak surrender that could leave the "junior" members scrambling for survival in a few years.

I wonder what the Texas threat is right now. We going to leave and take our network to the ACC? Do the teams in the ACC want that really?

IMO Texas actually prefers a weak Big12. It allows them complete and total control and insures their word is the final word. UT wants the status quo but if it is a choice between an equal more powerful Big12 or a weaker Big12 with UT in control then we know what UT will do.
If this latest round of "UT don't need no data, now give me Houston" hasn't convinced the other Big12 members they need to make the expansion decisions which best strengthens the league then they deserve what they will get. ...a front row seat to an imploding conference while searching for a new P4 home
The only chance for the other Big12 programs to get out from under UT's boot is to build up their conference. UT only builds one thing...its own power base. UT will split the baby before it will share it.

Why not? They seem OK with ND which basically has its cake and gets to eat all of it without sharing.

As part of an agreement to join the league?? And is DeMauro not considered premium top shelf? He is a reporter, even if he went to BCU.

This is all because UConn moved the Holy Cross game in 2017 to 8/31 instead of the previously scheduled 9/9. There was no game scheduled for the 31st and to open the season w/ a bye or conference game would not be optimum. UConn is @ UVA on 9/16.
As far as Texas @ Yankee Stadium - not going to see a game scheduled @ Yankee Stadium in September.

I'm sorry Art - do you want to buy two tickets to UConn v. Texas Football @ Yankee Stadium on September 9th? I'll give ya a great deal, throw in passes for a Monument Park Tour and as an added BY bonus two free Sabrett Dogs and Garlic Fries.

If taking on Texas means that the ACC is still standing when the P4 emerge, the answer is yes.

Agree on that as the Yankees would not want to risk the field with the playoffs right around the corner. That said, Texas could easily fill-up MetLife...

You get the feeling Tim F and Dimauro conspired to fk with the Boneyard?
Sept 9th Texas has a game with UCF and BB season hasn't started.
I don't see why people are assuming that the game would be played on the same day that the Holy Cross game was cancelled.
