I think, unfortunately, that's the reality.I don't like that we're creating the perception of essentially grovelling at the feet of the Big XII when we're far and away the best candidate for expansion -- it makes us look desperate and weak.

I thought that Tom came off looking a little insecure. That's just me.Again, why does it matter if the general public think this or not? As long as Holmoe makes this known to the Big XII brass, they know, and they're the only ones that matter.I think it makes us look flexible and easy to work with.Why would Holmoe state this publicly instead of simply bringing it up with the conference? I don't like that we're creating the perception of essentially grovelling at the feet of the Big XII when we're far and away the best candidate for expansion -- it makes us look desperate and weak.We can't risk not getting our foot in the door. Saying that we're agreeable to do football only might actually give us a better chance at getting in with all sports, in the short and long term.Yeah, I don't like this.
