Why have the Mods here been largely MIA on Big 12 expansion?

I have been out for most of the last two weeks dealing with personal family issues.
I've been talking to some folks I trust and I'll pass along what I have when I feel it's substantive. Passing on regurgitated conjecture would be worthless IMO.

Sorry to hear about your family issues. I hope all is well. I agree that regurgitation is useless but 247 has built its rep on digging out info and leading UT news stories so near complete radio silence on something as major as one like this seems really strange. It would be nice to have some real news from the UT front.

I am not an advocate of posting useless crap but the point is that 247 is usually the go to place for real information and there has been nothing other than tidbits from Brian. It would be very useful if 247 could get some real info from UT sources. Maybe it is tough to get in this instance but that does not seem to stop 247 on anything else. This is likely to be the biggest story of the year until the 2012 season starts so it seems strange to ignore it completely.

Something UT-based doesn't really push things forward and could complicate them.
You may have seen that DeLoss Dodds said he didn't think anything would come of the FSU/Clemson situation. Given Dodds's willingness to give his opinion on just about anything these days, you know from this that nobody's saying nothing close to the record.

The lack of mod posts on this topic likely means there is no real information. Since you're not an advocate of posting useless crap you should appreciate this approach. I highly doubt that Burton and the boys are ignoring this topic, much more likely that they simply have nothing of substance to report.

That is one way of looking at it but the value added proposition of this site and its reputation are built on getting information that others do not have as Brian has been doing. The point is that they had been almost completely ignoring the subject except for Brian and I am getting really tired of Baylor whooping UT in everything! LOL

I understand what you're saying. I'm guessing that Brian's "Big Cigar" knows something that Burton's does not.

Then you are a man of taste and distinction.
