even more strongly: If BYU had entered the Big 12, we would have saved it from collapse. I'm surprised the admin didn't see this, but Cecil was too busy keeping his word.

Basically says "I'm a nice guy, don't criticize my job performance."

You disagree that it was Tom's job to get the deal done for P5 inclusion?

You go make a deal with the Patriots to play QB. If you can’t I blame you.

Why doesn’t Tom actually address what War Beaver says?

Because he really didn't say anything intelligent.
