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.

9/7/21 11:03am

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

Be tht as it is, I really think our major obstacle then & in 2010 was UT &/or OU

The same source who confirmed that BYU was the one school that added value also confirmed it was UT and OU who

LES has higher attendance. With us in the league, WVU will have the fifth highest attendance

Never said they'd admit it, but my guess is that the AD's already regret it.
