Those are some decent thoughts, but I'm so tired of the media acting like they know what's going on. It's becoming fashionable for the media to take shots at the Big 12 at every opportunity, regardless of their ignorance to the situation. East Coast media, media in high population centers in the Big Ten and ESPN's love affair with the SEC have successfully painted an unfair perception of the Big 12 as a conference that isn't financially successful and lacks the competition of other P5 conferences. Meanwhile, our revenue as a conference is significantly higher than ever before, and the media ignores that the Big Ten has been the worst P5 conference this century.
I wish these small-time journalists would just accept that their sources are pawns, or worse, flat-out making **** up. But that wouldn't feed their ego.

I really don't believe anything the media write s concerning expansion.
As I said before, half of what the media writes on expansion and the Big 12 is based on an agenda, the other half is because they don't know what they are talking about. The problem is that too many people actually believe what they are writing as fact.
If we look at past evidence the Big 12 fights Big 12 expansion just as much or more than their media partners. ACC member and geographical bridge Louisville was publicly begging for Big 12 membership at one point and the Big 12 told them no thanks.
