How hard is it to let us in Football only so we won't have to inconvenience them? Geez.

There must be something different about the Big 12's incentive structure, because all other P5 conferences want to expand.
To give up a concept which wasn't always a Christian concept, no work on Sabbath. It wasn't until Christians copied the Judaic concept that lack of work or play came into being.

The world is changing and to invest so substantially into big time sports and then to stop at the finish line without crossing it seems foolhardy.
