Delaney is a smart, saavy business man and leader.
He's not going to do, just to do....there's a reason he's doing it.
I don't blame anyone for not wanting the super conferences. I love tradition. i wanted everything to stay the same (i.e. us in the Big 12/8) but also realize that's not going to happen. This move isn't the one starting the move to the superconferences. Those moves occured a few years back. This is just the next step and it was bound to happen eventually.
