sources. all these guys said they had "industry sources" tell them expansion was dead...even during meeting on july 19. now these same "sources" are somehow clued into how it's going to go down this time around?

So it's still just posturing

It's more likely that Chuck has no news so he is trying to make some

No... its echoes in an empty chamber. Writers trying to stay relevant

Exactly. Hold the phone, everybody.

one of the main truthful points in the article is the Boren is a political guy

boren doesn't want expansion any more. he was driving it all along.

If MVHer is to be believed it changed when Cincy would not get 8 votes

Did you just type "if MVHer is to be believed" with a straight face?

he doesn't like the candidates that can get the votes? OU fans on twitter are

riboflavin

This would make some sense

Nice approach by Boren.

that's not how i understood his actual comments at all

nashty

Exactly.

He said the same thing right before July 19th

huh? boren has said all along that the conference needs to expand.

riboflavin

9/27/16 10:59am

Boren didn't, but his AD (Castiglione?) said expansion was dead.

rggee

9/27/16 11:02am

Right, my bad

Littlerich

9/27/16 11:03am

Also, I'm not convinced Boren doesn't want expansion anymore. His quote is that

rggee

9/27/16 11:15am

that's his public quote but beat writers are reporting that he's now against it.

riboflavin

9/27/16 11:51am

All based on that quote, though.

rggee

It's not just that. He mentions he has spoken with B12 sources and quotes them

You can believe whatever you want. I think SI has legit sources.

Machiavelli

9/27/16 12:24pm

For the record, he never mentions "industry sources". Just big 12 sources.

Machiavelli

the ones that have signed the NDA and aren't talking or the ones that don't know

nashty

9/27/16 3:06pm

Sounds like it's all based on the one quote to me.

rggee

9/27/16 12:08pm

I read the whole article. Like I said, he quotes B12 sources throughout.

That is a facinating read ... what a saga. Still nothing official.
