Not trolling or ragging OU fans at all. Just confused on what Boren means.
The Big 12 wants to expand after all, so who will it be?
Here is Boren's quote in the article when it looked like expansion was dead.
“There’s no doubt that expansion gives some marginal gain,” Boren said June 3. “But how much marginal gain? …. But you have to weigh that against reputational impacts. In other words, our fans want to see our teams play against great teams. They don’t want to see them play mediocre teams.”
Now expansion is back on and the potential list in the order they appear in the article are:
Cincinnati, Connecticut, Houston, Central Florida, and BYU (No mention of Colorado State or Memphis in the article.)
As an OU fan, who do you consider "the great teams" he is referring to when he says "our fans want to see our teams play against great teams."?
I'm don't think OU fans consider any of the teams listed above to be "great" teams...but, I've been wrong before.
