b12 remnants have no choice but to be aggressive about expansion, but that all still hinges on when OU/UT actually leave and/or what comes of the buyout. and yeah, the competition in whatever the league morphs into will no doubt be diluted compared to the other remaining P5's, which might allow us to be more competitive in the short term. but it's not like it's an outcome we should be celebrating.
on a lighter note, Phog is apparently convinced KU is against expansion because of that imminent big 10 deal that was supposed to materialize like two weeks ago or whatever, and they still have the SEC as a backup plan , but would really prefer not to slum it up with all of those inferior schools. i wonder when reality finally sets in for them. probably when big 12 gets serious about expansion and it becomes clear everyone's in the same boat.
reading their musings (i.e total misunderstanding) of the whole AAU thing and what the BTAA actually does, and them running through the mental gymnastics of KU being such a coveted target despite the status of their football program, has been the silver lining of this whole debacle.
