Sounds like expansion is dead.

Broken engagements are the worst.

LaVellIfIKnow

Id rather they not expand to expanding without BYU.

Revolution

Agree with every fiber of my being.

boogers

9/27/16 10:27am

this is like being happy we are 1-3 b/c the losses are "close"

nashty

9/27/16 10:29am

More like preferring to be 1-3 than 0-4.

squidmark

I don't see that comparison at all.

GoatyGoatCoug

That don't make no sense.

Gentleman Stan

It would be a stupid move to expand without BYU

Cougrrrs Roll

Not necessarily...I think the PC stuff

Moral victory!!

Machiavelli

9/27/16 11:31am

its not a moral victory. If expansion happens w/out BYU it shuts the door even

Good thing it's a done deal....oh wait...

Good. Now BYU can join that all Texas conference Monty knows about.

BGRTHNUMEGO

with ND, FSU and BAMA too i heard

I don't know Monty from Adam

Not too much of a surprise

TNT

9/27/16 10:28am

who's really surprised at this? With the amount of egos and politics involved

hxmCougar2000

9/27/16 10:28am

Or maybe now that it is "dead" they can move forward without the politics

Littlerich

9/27/16 10:32am

let's hope.

hxmCougar2000

9/27/16 10:33am

If true, this isn't the worst outcome in the world.

jbcoug

9/27/16 10:29am

If BYU can't get in now they never will

If the Big XII implodes before it can expand, I believe that the haves of...

It was "dead" on July 18, too.

Of 2011...

Backcountry

9/27/16 10:31am

I would have sad a couple of months ago, but I feel strangely detached now.

Ssebo

9/27/16 10:29am

There is a reason Nebraska and Colorado left the B12.

spugeddy24

9/27/16 10:29am

And Missouri...and Texas A&M...and soon to be Oklahoma...

hxmCougar2000

9/27/16 10:36am

Yep. B12 used to have some powerhouse schools. Now most of them suck

spugeddy24

Thanks, Obama.

GuitarGuy

9/27/16 10:29am

And now...the "source" backpedaling begins...

UneducatedFan

9/27/16 10:30am

Why do they need to back pedal? They all said it was fluid

Littlerich

9/27/16 10:30am

"fluid" the ol' 2010-2011 standby...Not a particularly great vintage IMHO...

UneducatedFan

9/27/16 10:39am

Every source I read said it was "a done deal" but things were fluid

Littlerich

9/27/16 10:55am

Hehe. Fluid has been the go to "escape goat" for 5 years now.

UneducatedFan

9/27/16 11:03am

OIW, a meaningless statement.

messi

9/27/16 2:42pm

Good thing they spent all that money to be told they should expand

Huge Manatee

9/27/16 10:30am

It's the Big 12. The two powers are always at odds with each other

TNT

9/27/16 10:32am

I have nothing to refute this, but Boren and Oklahoma were down on expansion

Littlerich

9/27/16 10:30am

Why does Bruce Bowen hate expansion?

SCcoug

9/27/16 10:32am

^This^

rggee

9/27/16 10:32am

Boren never has been. Castiglione was. But this is new for Boren if true.

riboflavin

If this is a surprise to any of you, I don't know what to say.

Backcountry

9/27/16 10:30am

I would be really worried about my future if I'm a few of those schools in the big 12.

RdF3

9/27/16 10:31am

this is GOOD NEWS for BYU. Now, seek a scheduling deal with the BIG12.

cougareugene

9/27/16 10:31am

That is the dumbest thing I've read. BYU needs an invite to a P5 conference.

LaVellIfIKnow

9/27/16 10:32am

It's only a "dumb thing" if you havn't been paying attention. BYU was going to

cougareugene

9/27/16 10:34am

Harry Potter is more realistic than a scheduling deal with the Big 12

DapperDan

9/27/16 10:37am

Both parties are free to schedule each other at will. Big XII gains zero from

Ribo, if I remember correctly, broke the Twitter news that the schools were

Huge Manatee

He has almost seemed a little shady to me..not sure about that guy's character..

Backcountry

He also may or may not be Boney Fuller so I am not sure when to take him serious

JohnnyComeLately

9/27/16 10:54am

i didn't break the news, i posted the tweets of like 9 national guys that said

riboflavin

I think that was his point. The source for your conclusion now is the same

LifeLongLakerFan

9/27/16 11:00am

i'd be happy if they were all wrong again.

riboflavin

9/27/16 11:03am

Then why title your post "Expansion is dead"? You know as well as everyone

LifeLongLakerFan

9/27/16 11:07am

I changed it to make you feel better. I know the media is wrong, but I also know

riboflavin

9/27/16 4:27pm

I didnt care how you titled it. I can read the media reports and draw my own

LifeLongLakerFan

Sure seems like it.

bluecheese

9/27/16 10:43am

Long live Expansion!

Probably so. But, the best negotiation comes when the other party knows you're

runningryan

It was weird

TNT

They tell us what they are going to do and when they are going to do things

Y2k

9/27/16 11:38am

None of the other conferences did that when they expanded.

runningryan

9/27/16 12:59pm

Read the campusrush article..sounds like people in the B12 are upset at how

Machiavelli

9/27/16 2:03pm

Wasn't it Bowlsby that announced they were pursuing expansion?

rggee

9/27/16 2:08pm

It's Boren's way of saying to the "Little 8" teams, "vote with me or be G5 soon"

TheGoodTwin

9/27/16 11:05am

Who cares about expansion, love me some mountain goats!

Samuel Hall Society

9/27/16 11:07am

Or it's posturing. Or he doesn't know what he's talking about like he didn't know what he was talking about on July 18.

Bgash

9/27/16 11:17am

Or he is honestly conveying what he is hearing from others.

StalwartBraveTrue

9/27/16 12:11pm

I'm not saying he's being dishonest or anything. I'm just saying no one in media really knows anything for sure.

Bgash

9/27/16 3:34pm

Gotcha. I think you are right. We can't take this stuff at face value at all.

StalwartBraveTrue

Time to start a new conference "WannaB12" for all the wannabees like us

Bee Chunder

9/27/16 11:31am

Hasn't OU being against expansion been rumor for a month?

CosmoK

9/27/16 11:53am

Yep. It won't die either way it seems. Still nothing official folks.

BamaCoug

I'm with you. No need to hang crepe until the big12 speaks.

Meh he's just relying on Thamel's SI articles; Boren is probably posturing cuz
