Saw that BYU had a Big 12 celebration on their tv channel and watched long enough to see their women's cross country coach saying she was excited for the weekend of the ISU game due to it being Diwali....and glad its at home because no one wants to go to Ames, Iowa
The Big 12 would still take CO/AZ. Just because message board posters are getting annoyed doesn't mean they would do anything rash. The presidents of those universities still have a fiduciary duty and that includes finding out the Pac numbers before doing anything.
The thing is if the last episode continues with this day per episode timeline, obviously very little can actually get resolved. I wonder if they fast forward at all (i. e. Six Feet Under finale, possibly one of the finest TV finales ever)
