Wow - people are getting extremely irrational about this - as if Mason actually "no"-voted ISU's application to the Big 10. If she had done that, I could understand being upset at her and the BoR. But Mason's job isn't to hold the Big 12 conference - her job is to do what's best for the U of I and the Big 10 conference. Clearly adding Nebraska is in their best interest, and saying we wouldn't do the same thing if, say, Minnesota wanted to join the Big 12, as a sign of solidarity if the shoe were on the other foot is absolutely hypocritical. Does it suck? Yeah. But this is way blown out of proportion. Until Mason actually votes no to an ISU invite, there's nothing to throw stones over.
