[QUOTE="Palliative Care, post: 3165806, member: 73827"] As easy as it may seem to us to just say yes, I appreciate the board being thoughtful about this. If it does not work out then we just keep moving on with our new schools. People on both coast often see the middle of the country as lesser places and the Big 12 as a conference to belittle because of where our schools are. These four schools have some feel for this snobbery. Choosing to join us makes them open to such distractions. In the end they may choose to join because it offers more stability than the PAC does. Despite ESPN's support the PAC is struggling against the tide of indifference that most of its school reside within. To me the pandemic seems to brought this into focus. The PAC's pride and prejudice is their greatest fault. We would accept these schools because the are fellows of like kin and kind. In turn this is part of the reason they would join our conference. We do not need to prove ourselves to sports networks or academic institutions in order to survive. We will find our own way thank you very much. In the end the B12 exist because we refuse to quit. We refuses to be bullied into oblivion just because a corporate executive or a conference commissioner sneers at us. We are the B12 and those who do not like us can stick it. [/QUOTE]
