I was just listening to the Big 12 Mafia show, which is run by a BYU guy and is one of the better shows out there. And he had Jim Williams on as a guest. Jim currently works for Forbes but has previously worked for ESPN and others and seems to be very connected with the media. He stated that he believes the public flirtation with Gonzaga is simply a red herring (he used the term Trojan Horse but I believe he meant red herring) and that the B12s real interest is in OSU and WSU. However, with the legal battles that are currently raging between the PAC 2 and the others in the league they can’t get involved publicly. Personally, I don’t believe it to be true, I believe Yormark has genuine interest in Gonzaga and Uconn which I do not support. If we had wanted WSU and OSU we would have taken them with the others unless we are waiting on ACC teams to balance out the conference. Interesting theory though.
