Big12 fans don't understand the economics of university research vs athletics media funding. Being in a conference with Stanford+Cal +UW+Oregon makes us millions more than any media deal could ever generate. We've been in a conference with BYU, it gave us no research $ benefit.

Way to appropriate the shaka..which is about a Hawaiian sugar plantation security guard who lost his three fingers. It's a universal sign to spread the Aloha spirit, not to signify BYU Athletics. Leave it to obtuse haoles to steal it, just like the sovereign Hawaiian Islands.
