Another hint? Look is called a "B1G Mascot?"

If you believe this guy....

Oh my gosh...

C'mon...we all need a smile right now. "It was getting a little chummy in here..."

Welcome, and a couple of questions/comments for you. --What school do you follow? (This way I can give you the correct helmet as an avatar.) Many of us do not wish to join the Big-12 for a couple of reasons: 1. The travel to the Big-12 is as bad for Olympic sports as the B1G, without the additional revenue. 2. While Oregon would be a prime member of the Big-12, we would rather retain the conference we are currently in. If we have to change--the B1G is a better match for money. (Since that is what this is all about) 3. It is only a matter of time before ESPN and Fox urge their conferences (SEC and B1G) to poach the better teams in the Big-12. 4. It is really not a cultural fit. 5. The fans rarely want these changes; most Oklahoma and Texas fans do NOT want to move to the SEC, and tons of LA fans do not want to leave the Pac-12. But who listens to those paying the freight? Thank you for your kind thoughts about the forum. I love this community...
