[QUOTE="Limey Frog, post: 3290465, member: 16969"] Exactly; I think this is spot on. From a Big 12 perspective, it sucks that the leadership at CU and 'Zona seem terrified to apply the maxim that "what must be done eventually is best done now," but I understand their position. They'll take public blame if they jump (unjustified though it would be), and they'll be accused of sanctioning a lateral move to a conference that is less "academically prestigious" in that ill-defined and irrelevant way that inevitably appends itself to all such discussions. These are all things college trustees and presidents don't like. What they do like is comparative anonymity with anyone who isn't also a high-level education industry muckety muck, and the ability to claim credit for very large increases of dollar figures in important spreadsheet columns. A move to the Big 12 doesn't check those boxes. [/QUOTE]
