[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 947864, member: 2426"] I don't disagree that the Big10 is moving to be a national conference. They pretty much already will be since they will be in the Northeast, Midwest, and West very soon. I am not saying that the points in the article are provably false. I am stating that the article is trash. My complaint is that the article makes it sound like adding additional PAC12 schools is imminent. The author paraphrases recent blogging about the "magnificent seven", and such. Even the direct quotes from the NU president are confusing. He stated "I think we have another year or two of the status quo, with a few minor changes. But I think over the next year there’s going to be a lot of big changes that are going to happen." So which is it? Will there be another year or two of the status quo, or will big changes happen within the next year? Is this a formal, recorded, sit-down interview with the NU president? Can a major university president not contradict himself in consecutive sentences? Are these snippets that the reporter didn't record but remembered when chatting while walking down a hall? The writing style is not good. The article mixes Twitter innuendo with supposed quotes. The supposed quotes The writing style is not good. The article mixes Twitter innuendo with supposed quotes. The supposed quotes sound more like someone who doesn't have an education than from a university president. Such things make me doubt the legitimacy and integrity of the author. It appears to me that he is blowing smoke to "prove" that there is a huge fire underneath it. This reporting is not any better than the Twitter and blogger threads that predicted that the ACC was going to dissolve last week at the meetings. EDIT: I have stated before that I take in information from as many sources as I can access, and make decisions for myself about what to believe. There are sources of information that I have more trust in because I have seen them to be accurate before. I pay attention to quality of the information, and will disregard information if it appears to be lacking in facts or integrity. I usually ignore all of the commentating in articles and try to concentrate on actual facts. I don't know this author, and this article appears to be intentionally misleading. [/QUOTE]
