Re: Big 12 expansion - facts and figures
Pivoting the topic slightly (and apologies if this has been posted elsewhere), but I've gotta think that the B12 expansion denizens are keeping a close eye on the NCAA championship women's golf tourney.
BYU's NCAA-sanctioned no-Sunday policy is causing them to receive special treatment in playing their Sunday rounds the previous Thursday. The press is putting a rather negative spin on it as being potentially unfair to competition.
How it's handled both in the press and in the competitive arrangements will surely be of interest to B12 decision-makers. It moves the conversation around Sunday play from a vague hypothetical to a real example of how "difficult" working with BYU's strictures can be, and that gives ammunition for the anti-BYU crowd both inside the conference (Texas schools?) and outside (see Memphis' blatant promo material) the conference.

The problems of the world cannot possibly be solved by skeptics or cynics whose horizons are limited to the obvious realities. We need men who can dream of things that never were and ask, "Why Not?" -JFK & SWK
