Would Schulz have nixed BE?

Quote
SE: What were some of the options?
 
Schulz: First, we clearly wanted to stay in the Big 12. After that, we clearly wanted to stay in a BCS Conference and be in the central time zone so our fans could drive to games. If we couldn't find a good fit, then we wanted to work with our former Big 12 partners and put together some type of league.
 
What I was disappointed in during all the talks was the aspect of how much school our student-athletes were going to miss because of all the time zones we were potentially going to go through with some of the ideas being thrown out there.

How many BCS conferences are primarily in our timezone?

So....They're advertising $20 tickets for alumni association members for the homecoming game against Okie State.

Check out this highly funny ad.

That was a good read. I would be interested in reading what the other ADs and Comishes were doing to "keep options open."

The SEC Championship has been anchored in Atlanta for years.   Atlanta is fairly central to the entirety of the SEC and that city is without out a doubt the corporate hub city for the conference.    There is no other city in Big 12 country that can offer a facility that can touch Cowboy Stadium, unless it is Houston's Reliant Stadium.   Dallas surpasses all other Big 12 cities in terms of corporate presence with the exception of maybe Houston.  Dallas is an easy place to get to.   All of Cornhole's complaints about moving things to Dallas only tell us what a bunch of small minded $hit kickers they are.   There's no 3 daily jet service flights from MHK to f'ing Lincoln, there's 3 daily jet service flights from MHK to . .  Dallas.   Of course in the other major sport the post season tourney is moved around . . .  but then again Cornhole sucks in basketball and always has, so they don't care about that.   You want to see the football game move around??  Then the North schools need to lobby a North City to build a football stadium that can rival Cowboy's stadium, or Reliant Stadium.   No . . . don't say Arrowhead, because the Hunt's blew it when they failed to follow through with a roof over that facility.   Plus don't give me this crap about, "oh gosh football was meant to be played outside" . . . sure, but nobody with a real brain in their head wants to see a game of significance potentially played in a blizzard when it's 10 degrees outside (which is why I still don't get why the NFL gave the Super Bowl to the new Meadowlands besides the marketing factor).

It's almost like they need to continuously affirm and validate themselves . . . and say it over and over just in case somebody forgets.

Indeed.

Inalso enjoyed when they felt compelled to tell us that everything was on the up and up with Perlman's Lexus.

So BYU is leaving the MWC and going independent in football and joining the WCC (not WAC) in other sports.  Basketball vs. Gonzaga and St. Mary's  :ohno:.

Sorry bout that bros.  Realized I had botched this post but couldn't find it later to edit it.  Guess it got moved here.  Live and learn, that's what I say!  Seriously though, WCC?  WTF is that about?
