Telling that the main one doesn't even like the playoff system they have now - wants to go back to pre-BCS system.

Read some of this thread and you will get a good idea that most Oklahoma fans want out of the Big 12.

That is what happens when the Regent Chair is there because of making enough donations, and not understanding the future.

He also added,

The only way expansion makes sense, Weitzenhoffer said, is snagging teams from a Power Five conference. With the exception of the SEC, those conferences are bound together at the moment each by a grant of rights. If any school leaves, its television rights are retained by the existing conference.

Is he on drugs?

Most of them agree that they don't want any of the current options. Not say right or wrong but that is the common theme.

Must be, or stuck in the 70's. No team is going to leave another P5 conference for the B12

He's not saying, "The Big12 can go out and get Florida State."

He's saying, "Because we can't get any teams from P5 conferences, I don't support expanding the Big12."

Weitzenhoffer added he is an old-school football fan, preferring the old bowl system ruled by the human polls.

That's all you need to know about Weitzenhoffer....maybe he should retire

Correct! This is all playing out to make an exit at some point.

Fair interpretation.

Although with his other comments, he might still think the B12 could poach another P5 conference.

TCU seems to be doing well, same for Louisville. Utah is very competitive in the PAC 12. IMHO Cincy, BYU, UConn, Memphis whoever would compete just fine in the Big 12, and carry their weight.

I hope your right I would love to be in the west with Ku and Ok . I will never be a fan of eastern expansion. In all honesty we should of took Missouri when we had the chance.

BYU goes bowling every year, larger stadium, bball program seems solid.
UC did an excellent renovation of Nippert, bowl games 9/10 years, in the dance every year. Renovating 5/3 Arena after this next bball season.
Memphis has a nice football stadium, needs club seats and luxury suites.
UConn, has the geography travel issue, good football stadium, and can choose between 2 Arenas, has won 2 NCAA titles in the last 5 years.

BYU has the Sunday thing, and location is an issue.

Yeah, Zoloft.

Seriously, he's right. I mean, the ACC should just add Ohio State, Michigan, Notre Dame, and Tennessee - BOOM! Instant national powerhouse.
