Always so ******* negative. My god, just stop.

 

[Bestaluckcy]

Wow it took two days for everybody to agree we could put out a statement that says absolutely nothing.

I don't know if I have ever heard less news in any other news statement in my life.

Must have been a hell of a party to come up with that statement...took about the first 10 minutes then let the good times roll.

Well Sh!t

Being realistic is negative? Interesting.

Who puts these dumbass statements together? PR firms need an overhaul.

“Following two days of consultation with the athletics directors of the continuing members of the Big 12 Conference, commissioner Bob Bowlsby stated, “The eight ADs remain committed to furthering the Big 12 as one of the nation’s premier athletic conferences, and look forward to working with our presidents and chancellors to strengthen the league. Future exploration by the group will continue to center on options that best position the long-term strength of the Conference.”

All those words strung together yet not one thing of substance said. All that statement said was "We met and said some words".

I don’t know why so many are complaining about this - with OuT/SEC/ESPN buyout looming, they can’t say anything else. They all could have landing spots elsewhere (I don’t actually think that’s the case) and they’d still have to say the same statement if they want the buyout money.

What’s realistic about it? Do you think this statement is because other teams are not interested in joining?

Agreed. This was the conference making an official statement because everyone was clamoring for one - and yet they didn't say one relevant thing. Not that I expect them to. Not until everything else plays out.

Guys, what are they going to say?? EVERY. SINGLE. STATEMENT. from here on out is going to be about unity and the Big 12 moving forward. Because that’s how they extract as much money as possible from OU/Texas and/or keep their status quo (and potential lawsuits).

The Big XII can't do anything to make me believe it's a strong & stable place to be in the college football landscape. Hopefully Jamie and Wendy can get ISU in a better spot. In the meantime, get used to hearing a lot of "we're sticking together" talk until OU and Texas actually leave and the conference media deal expires.

Did I say anything about the statement? No.
