"Little 7" paid to stay in Big XII

Nevermind, I just saw that it was posted in another thread.

Wow, that'll inspire cohesion and unity huh.

This whole thing makes me feel like I need to take a bath and wash the orange muck off.

Yeah, I'm kind of with you.

BUT --

The lesser schools (Missouri and KU in particular) just had a chance to stare into the abyss of life w/o OU and UT.

They didn't like what they saw, and they had a very valuable opportunity to reassess their programs' values on the open market.

What they found shows that, to put it bluntly, they really are the little bitches of the conference, and in response, they had to begging, crying, whining and pleading for the big dogs to stay.

So, while it may be true they are actually less happy now than before all the commotion, they are also more loyal to the Big XII.

It's a forced marriage, but sometimes thats stronger glue.

It kinda reminds me of that old song:

"If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life
Never make a pretty women your wife
Go for my personal point of view
Get an ugly girl to marry you"

The wallflowers are always more grateful for what they can get. :D
