When are folks gonna get that Boren's end game is to leave Big12?

He knows that without expansion they can't make a network happen and he knows there aren't enough good expansion candidates to make it a net plus for OU and make a network financially attractive to any potential partners. All this talk about CFU and Colorado State and ECU and Memphis, etc is just nonsense.

This has been clear since he first opened his mouth on the topic last August or whenever it was.
