Guest #1Stunner Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Doesn't his history of involvement with the porn industry, drunken driving arrests and extensive criminal history conflict with you LDS values? I'm just hearing about that stuff for the very first time.I was supporting Butch Otter, but now you are making me second guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mano Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 How did TCU add anything besides good baseball and football? Not a new market. Small fanbase. No new TV sets. No new recruiting. They're idiots. I wouldn't be surprised if they added Houston at all. TCU was added because the Big 12 needed a decent team that could immediately step in and play the next season, and shore up the conference stability. Negotiatuons with what appeared to be the default choice did not go as the Big 12 wanted, so TCU got the bid.

Negotiatuons with what appeared to be the default choice did not go as the Big 12 wanted, so TCU got the bid.My points still stand. Guys have repeatedly said BYU wasn't in the mix as much as TCU, Louisville, and West Virginia. This is from multiple sources. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Bauer Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 "Guys" didn't say that until well after the fact.Why would multiple people say the same thing if it wasn't true? I have my own opinions, but the media and people who have been guests on the radio shows have all said this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterfrog Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Several of the university presidents have said that Notre Dame was always the first choice, TCU was the second choice, and after Notre Dame passed, they evaluated several other options (Louisville, BYU, Air Force) before deciding on West Virginia about three weeks after TCU joined.

nocoolnamejim Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Barry Tramel, Oklahoma paper sports writer, was plugging BSU and BYU in a big way this morning.http://m.newsok.com/article/5438621?scrolling_list=articlehttp://newsok.com/byu-boise-state-wouldnt-work-as-football-only-big-12-members/article/5438718?custom_click=rss&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitterIt isn't a president or commissioner, but he is a pretty prominent opinion driver on the Oklahoma sports scene.

Jack Bauer Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 He's been doing that for years, at least as far as BYU.I would welcome it. He seems to be the only one in the footprint to be doing so, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
