We’ve had it confirmed that the big12 knew BYU added value in 2016 - and that was when OU and UT were included. Imagine

Thanks. The Iowa State board has people arguing that none of the new teams add

That's ironic coming from people who have milked OU/UT for $100s of millions.

Of course, they are in denial, as there is nowhere else to go except down.
