I'm completely ambivalent towards Joey Knight, but he isn't even a third of the reporter Greg is.  

I do not disagree.... Greg was all I knew when I got to USF and while I was happy he got the Bucs gig, I was disappointed there was nobody closer to the program that displayed the same writing ability and knowledge of the program.  I still equate Greg with USF football coverage.  I think he just knows football and sports better than Joey does.  That said, I'm dancing with the blind date because it's better than sitting with no date at all.  Or I could just drink until some fat chick on the wall looks better...

I know you're just sayin, but I thought the B12 was against dilution.  

Dilution is a very subjective word. At some point, road trip destinations have to enter the conversation ...

I don't know.  I'm not UCF.

Don't worry Trip.  Ames is better known as the New Orleans of Iowa, so you're all set.

I am constantly amazed at the interesting bits of minutiae I glean from here on a daily basis ...

I like Joey's take on it:

"I know that some people wonder why (academic stature) would matter, but it actually really does to the university presidents who end up making these final decisions," Dr. Dan Rascher, who runs the Sport Management Program at the University of San Francisco and is a nationally hailed sports economist, recently told the Tampa Bay Times. "

He went on to add that "Of course if you have Fed Ex money in your back pocket they would even vote to add a crappy community college like Memphis".

Tulane's already an AAU member and would fit quite nicely geographically with the B12..... jus sayin.

That's good news for them if math ever becomes a sport.

Anyone hear or read any "Recent Conference Realignment Rumors"? The Big 12 is supposed to have meetings on the 19th through 21's of July. Just wondering.

 

Kicks dust off thread.
