Well it seams everyone has a tweet these days, how much any of these really have weight none of us know. Read most of these guys columns on the subject and you cans tell they are basically clueless. So taking their tweets as gospel is pretty dumb.

Most of these guys have little more knowledge than the rest of us, and it is obvious some of them have less.
BINGO! These guys tweeting about developments are nearly as clueless as we are. They're just throwing **** against the wall to see what sticks.

They are not going to take 4 Big Xii teams. Okalhoma State being in the mix (new footprint state) is not a good thing for ISU @ B1G.

“What does this do to our academic mission?,” he said. “What does it do to our athletic mission? What does it do from a television network standpoint, what does it do from a health and safety standpoint? These are things that you have to be very thoughtful about. But on the flip side, that’s one of the reasons why I left the Vikings to come here is because it makes for exciting times ahead. I’m a big believer that decisions that are being made now are going to impact college athletics literally for the next 25 to 50 years.”

Highly doubt they will take it anyways. This seems more like a symbolic gesture so the leftovers can say they tried everything to save the conference. It's about more than profit sharing. What good does it do to say you will share more of the profits when you don't even know what that's going to be when the next tv contracts are negotiated?
Well why even offer it, you just look desperate. Really bad look, and 'ol Bob needs to give it up.

No doubt. We're all just guessing. I'd rather put myself in the shoes of the Big 10 to get a better idea of where I think ISU might end up. Unfortunately I can't think of one reason I'd add ISU if I was trying to keep up with the SEC.

Usually Danny Mac. He been on tommy boy lately?
Oh yeah. Tom O didn't "bend over" for Texas like everyone else did, per TMan. True, I suppose, but only because Texas was out-Osborning Nebraska. He was always about leveraging and lording over the other teams in Big 8, what with unequal revenue distribution, partial qualifiers, and his forays into obstruction of justice to protect his players from criminal charges. St. Tom is an a$$hole. He sure didn't act to help any of his conference mates.

This guy is kind of a loser. Gene Smith should be acting B10 commissioner while POTOSU but UM would never go for it.

So you are saying nobody who isn't a delusional ISU fan is welcome here? Some of us are just more realistic.
There are numerous articles out there right now claiming how much sense it makes to add KU and ISU lol. It’s not delusional thinking it could realistically happen. It’s delusional to think it absolutely won’t happen like you’re insinuating.
