Message: [QUOTE="kyleslamb, post: 1833674, member: 2505"] Flug makes a lot more sense than Dude. A ton more. Infinitely more. Flug's point is trying to preserve a future beyond 2024, which they would otherwise not have if there isn't some agreement made with all schools and the media partners. Plus, no matter how The Dude spins it, there's still the outside possibility that if Texas and Oklahoma both bolted, along with Oklahoma State and Kansas, they could attempt to attack the Grant of Rights and if the Big 12 eventually lost in court, they'd be screwed enormously because they'd have to repay rights for two or three seasons in arrears that may have otherwise been spent. The Dude doesn't want to admit as a WVU fan that his conference is on its death bed, at least as a power league. Anything that could preserve some semblance of power and financial stability for these schools beyond the inevitable departures makes sense to anyone thinking clearly, rationally and without emotion.
