Message: [QUOTE="Matrim55, post: 1779256, member: 3376"] The only rationale I could think of here is 1) they're scared of public reaction to taking a "weak" football team, and 2) they're pretty convinced that we'll have a winning record + second straight bowl appearance this year, which makes us an easier sell. Especially if we come in along with Houston, and have a groundbreaking date set up for expansion of PAWSARF. I hate that I spent even 45 seconds thinking about this nonsense, but at least there's a little bit of logic behind this one given how the Big 12 powers that be work. [I]Of course[/I] they'll put waaaay too much stock in something as ephemeral as a one- or two-year performance on the gridiron, and of course they'll be totally solicitous of the opinions of their loudest & most ignorant fans. Oh well. If we get in, I'll be sure to call them all geniuses for their decision-making process. [/QUOTE]
