I understand them wanting to keep the gravy train running to WSU and OSU.... but I don't think there is any prayer of the B16 or the SEC taking WSU or OSU.

Trying to force that probably means NONE of the 4 get into the new P2 elite super conferences.

I wonder if maybe that is part of the delay with UW/OU? The B16 is kind of waiting to see if there is going to be tooooo much State Politics meddling to make it viable.
