Not meaning to insult any B12 member institutions, but the B12 itself has a terrible track record of poor management, dragging its feet, not valuing the concerns of its members, and making less than good decisions a year-or-more too late over and over again. Really has the feel of maybe the worst managed P5.

I'm just stating observations and not really trying to be dramatically critical... I get how difficult that group of members must be to manage and to get consensus on anything but the most mundane issues. So yeah, I have my doubts about the B12's ability to make really intelligent decisions in a timely manner and about what membership might be like in the B12.

That being said, let's hope that the move to expand (if they do indeed expand and include BYU) is a glimmer of hope that they are being more progressive and pro-active about the welfare of the conference and that this is just the beginning of many similarly progressive/smart decisions to come.
