Lance Leipold, Bill Self, our AD and Chancellor can flirt and persuade win games and lobby , but even if they do that until they're blue in the face there's no guarantee of getting asked to the dance. The posters that write, "Let the Big 12 burn" and other such nonsense are like children that tell their parent's they are going to hold their breath until they get what they want.
I agree. We have 2 options: 1. Twiddle our thumbs and wait for B1G to come calling big big If 2. Start work right now to build and expand the Big We all became accustomed to a mediocre bball program. Football was always in the gutter, but if we had more national championships - that would have carried a lot more weight.
But instead, we have big 12 streak who no one Each year, we would end in disappointment, but the KU faithful swept it under the rug rather than calling out the team and coach self. Our go to response would be "well, at least we're not ksu or mu" or "at least we made the tourney.. Until this attitude changes, and until the bball program starts picking up some titles - don't expect the narrative to change. Bill Self is sitting rather comfy with his lifetime contract You obviously have lost all fight within you.
This talk is defeating what most of us want-better future for Kansas. Lead Follow or get out of the way. That we have nothing to offer any better Conference, that we should just sit in our own crap and not do anything to better ourselves. By posting this depressive drivel you are adding to the chance that we will see no fees or penalties from OU or UTEX, that we will remain a diminished School in a second rate Conference, put together with bubble gum. Better to go out fighting to improve our lot than accept this demotion to keep the Status quo in a Conference filled with G5 Institutions.
Folks we have a brighter future ahead if we just have the guts to try. Why cripple our chances at something better? The Big 8 had a rule we never broke, unit the State of Texas made us break it. NO religiously controlled Universities. We need to remember this. It is much preferable to fight for our demons than to give into them. Or just after certain religious schools? Your mileage may differ. TCU is hardly a Religious University.
They are more a Private Institution no longer affiliated with the D of C. They kept their name. I do not have to like Baylor and their crappy discriminatory policies, I was against their inclusion in and am against it today.
I have similar problems with the LDS because of their support of Change ministries and the attitudes of the leaders who control the University with an iron claw. All of the other Schools we are looking at are either east or south. They are 1, miles the wrong way. For a multiplicity of reasons, BYU does not fit.
Baylor is already here but BYU is something else entirely. In addition, you're factually incorrect. I'm curious what your actionable agenda is? If you're Chancellor Girod, what are you promoting? It does not have to include without a reduced escape clause the University of Kansas. Our leaving would do little to make a conference held together by revenge and duct tape to fold. We can be replaced by other Institutions. Keeping us behind just to satisfy the job security of the Big12 officers is not what I believe we need to be looking at.
But hey it's a free country. Look as defeatist as you want. All it does is hurt KU and their chances of finding a better place to be. Get off the hypocrisy, politico crap train. You cannot tell how good a conference partner a school makes based on their affiliation. It was one of the most progressive "non fundamentalist" public universities in this country Texass that has now broken up two conferences.
If they really cared about anything more than their wallet the Big 12 and possibly SWC would still be going strong. Your last statement implies that it was the fault of the religious universities in our conference that blew it up, and that simply is inaccurate and, quite frankly, hypocritical.
Texass blew it up, the ultra liberal university did it for money and sports. I'm not trying to be political because politics makes my jock itch, but you need to be a realist about who and what actually happened. Baylor and TCU were both loyal and performed, I cannot say the same for their in-state partner.
Bringing my "Political Persuasions" into this is useless. You can only guess and probably wrongly what they are. Texas is not the Uber Liberal University you play them out to be. Your attacking whatever my political belief is is out of bounds here. I am against discrimination on any level. That is the American way. My politics are my own business. You have no right to even bring this up. This is a sports Website, not an excuse for a political diatribe. You are way out of bounds bringing politics into this forum.
I have not guessed or insinuated any of your political persuasions, nor do you know mine. I simply mean to defend TCU and Baylor as supportive members of this conference, it was not the religious schools that tore this thing to shreds, and it is not the anti-religious schools coming to rescue their stranded brethren.
