Expansion Skullduggery

This was in the Summertime Platitudes that just went up. You should definitely read the whole thing but I thought this part was quite interesting:


Q: How did CU’s APR info get out a day ahead of time during the conference realignment frenzy?
A: It was leaked by a Big 12 member institution. Only the schools and conference offices had the info, which was password protected to the general public but each school could gain access two days earlier to the information for each school nationally. In this case, it was definitely leaked to the media by people closely associated with a particular school; that was confirmed by three different people from ESPN alone to me who flat out told me which school did it. I won’t expose that institution (at least not now, I’ll get ‘em good in my book in a decade or so), as we prefer it to be handled first between the Faculty Athletic Representatives. But as was the case, only part of the story was relayed about CU being penalized five football scholarships; what wasn’t leaked out was the fact that we had already absorbed the penalty. Of course, that neutralizes the damage, and would have made it practically a non-story, but that obviously wasn’t the motive of the “leaker.”

Anyone care to guess the identity and motivations of the leak? I know I have some ideas...
 
Great Plati'tudes...Plati really came out swinging with his "rumor debunking". Our athletic department has really grown some balls this year. Hope it continues.
 
The Buffs & The Pacific-10 Conference
June 11, 2010: Colorado becomes the 11th member of the Pacific-10 Conference. Rumors were abound for years, and CU turned down an invitation from the league in late 1994, but 16 years later, the Buffaloes are moving to the conference most feel is the best fit for the program since the days of Byron “Whizzer” White.

Now calls were made by some that CU should join the Mountain West, and that we didn’t belong in the Pac-10 or even the Big 12. Chalk it up to the same anti-CU rhetoric spewed by the same anti-CU people; they only get the attention of the anti-CU crowd, they’re not likely changing anyone’s minds. Nothing against the MWC, and I’ve argued several times it should have received BCS status years ago when the Big East lost Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College. We have long established roots with most of those schools, but personal opinions aside, do you go from making $8-10 million a year in Big 12 conference distribution to around $4 million in the MWC (and that’s before the expected rise to $15 million-plus once we’re in the Pac-10).

i wonder if kizla actually reads dave's platitudes column?

this shot was clearly directed straight between his eyes...

great work this month, dave!

:thumbsup:

Looking forward to both the Georgia and Baylor home games. Hopefully their school presidents will be there, especially Ken Starr. For the Bulldogs, tossing some red undies might send an effective message. As for Baylor, a bunch of stained blue dresses might be do the trick...
 
I like Plati and his articles, but does anyone else find it odd/inappropriate that he used the term "blowhard" not once but twice??

Time and place...

"cocksucker" would probably not have been acceptable for platitudes...
