I'll say it. I don't want to be part of the Big 12. Not now. Not ever. We have no connection culturally, athletically, regionally, etc. They are shortsighted and a sinking ship with expansion or without. I wouldn't put this to words prior to selection because I didn't want the mojo out there. I know the next comment will be "We'll never make it without P5 and any port in the storm". It's a legit point. I understand we are all willing to hold our nose for the hope of something better. I get it. I would have held mine. But I would rather wait and continue to improve. Commission that study on market value they had done and publish to the high heavens. Yes it is a risk. So is membership in a league where we are low man on totem pole, hair cut to the nub, and being yes men to schools that will be kicking the league to the curb in 8 years. Maybe I am numb. Maybe I am dumb. Maybe its that they said no to everybody. But I feel better to be out of it than I thought I did. There are always going to be locked doors in front of Connecticut. We just have to hope we can keep kicking them down.
