I understand Dodd's point but in all fairness, the Big 12 created this by publically announcing (at the last minute no less) they were going to expand and would need to reconvene to take a look at all the candidates. The conference has been evaluating this issue for at least 2 years, if not more. They know all they need to know about the candidates at this point and should have picked teams behind closed door.

I agree. I know they contacted UM and UC in late 2013, and have done so with other schools, too. This has played out way too long and way too publicly. Like nothing before it. End it already.

They crossed the border on pandering a long time ago.

He is just butt hurt about his alma mater losing their AD and acting AD to two Texas schools in the span of a month.

There could still be more anti-trust lawsuits against the P5 if they do not start inclusion of more schools. At least get 1 public schools from every state into a P5 situation, and you can satisfy politicians. I am waiting to see Illinois lawmakers try and make a move against the P5 trying to to get another Illinois public university into a P5 conference.

He seems to be the guy most often cited as the source saying the league will expand imminently.

Purchasing a lottery ticket is embarrassing. Winning the lottery is awesome!

Joining the Big XII is like winning the lottery.

Says a guy that makes his living pandering to the Delaney's and Slive's of the world. It's disingenuous of Dodd to stir the expansion pot then complain about what's cooking.

He doesn't seem to be embarrassed by his constant trolling of the Big 12. Dodd is a Missouri grad and works for a network whose big college TV contracts are SEC football and Big 10 basketball.

Dodd is right about grandstanding politicians but absolutely full of it on the schools actions being embarrassing. As others have said, the networks, etc have made the game all about money, and P5 status is a lifeline from a subsistence existence. Then the B12 decided to make the whole spectacle public.

Dodd calling these schools embarrassing is nothing more than a fatcat lackey poking the working man standing in line for a job interview with his boss.

Also, DavidSt is usually batcrap crazy, but I personally hope there is something to the notion of antitrust suits. Not my area of expertise though.

it was an opinion article written by a clown. he wrote an opinion article at the beginning of July, effectively stating his hatred for the US and the 4th of July is a racist holiday that shouldn't be celebrated. I'm all for free speech, I just wish he did it on his own blog and not our newspaper. pretty embarrassing.

That makes sense, we have our own knuckle heads that spout nonsense on our opinion page at Iowa State.

why is it embarrassing? that's College sports for ya...it's not a fair system by any means

it's a system that's out of whack, not just between schools, but how it's valued within a school

we don't value teaching and learning as much as we value entertainment, because football is nothing but entertainment

That's my sermon for the day

Happy Friday 07-coffee3

Since 1980, ECU's record is 212-211. This century it is 93-95. Never in a power conference during that time. That doesn't sound harsh, it sounds realistic. That guy might be a jerk, but he wasn't wrong on this.
