And considering the bulk of our legislators, I'm assuming, come from those first 3, it's no surprise there's been no political endorsements forthcoming in all this.

Agreed.  Disappointing but not surprising.

But what about those legislators who do not come from those first three, or the few that graduated from USF and/or represent our area?  All it takes is one microphone... or call to JK (assuming he takes it).

They'd be blackballed and put on double secret probation ....

^ That must be it.

Why are you so sure USF would do the same?  I would imagine Judy/Harlan's response would go something like this:

"We are aware of the possibility that the Big 12 Conference may be expanding.  We are happy and fortunate to be in the American Conference and will do all we can to support our current conference home.  However, we will always do what is the best interest of the University of South Florida."

Please stop trying to bring us down with you.  Your president came across as entitled and clearly USF is taking a more publicly mature and honorable approach to this.  

Okay, believe what you want. There's a difference between answering questions and touting your schools capabilities (which nothing Hitt or DW said was classless or dishonorable, but you like to twist it that way because that's how that's how the USF mind works) and begging for inclusion, which this is nothing of the sort.  

AD Danny White on Big12, UCF and USF this morning.  He said himself UCF would rather not go out and politic like other schools.  But won't shy from educating more folks on UCF.

LOL! A USF fan I used to work with just told he thinks Genshaft is working her magic behind the scenes, thus why so quiet.  I.E. Just like the Big East. Hahaha!  He has no connections, but says he just read it somewhere.  This ain't the Big East and I assure you, USF has no partner in the Big12 rallying for her, this time.

That you know of.  So, you know everything about Judy and all of her connections right?    If you are going to make assumptions, do it in a convincing manor.

True.  I don't know. I just will refuse to believe it. The Big 12 ain't the Big East.  Y'all seriously think the "silence" thing Joey K reported is Genshaft pulling strings?  lol 

[KB]

She didn't become the first woman to chair the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Board for nothing. 

She has connections. 

[TallyBull]

^ Also got to think mark Harlan has connections as well.  Can't imagine USF hired him without considering what favorable connections he may have in this context.  

Plus, FWIW JK has been careful to emphasize in his tweets that USF's quiet approach does NOT mean they're sitting idle - in fact, quite the opposite.
