    I think the contradictory statements of “meeting was great” and “meeting was fucking useless” is something us office workers are all very familiar with

    I flew out of and into KC in late February. It does not look like this. Hope that helps. I was thoroughly unimpressed with the airport.

    Easily the worst big city airport in the country. Only positive is you can show up 5 min before your flight takes off.

    Yeah, I just double checked the dates and it was KC to LAX 2/15 and LAX to KC 2/21 so I guess more mid-late Feb.

    Portland Maine. That airport is in the perfect sweet spot. Big enough to offer multiple same day flights, but small enough that security never takes more than 10 minutes, and even that is a lot. Burlington VT also pretty good but not as many flights offered.

    Most of us have probably experienced the shittiness of airports that are too big (parking miles away, long security lines, clusterfuck at gates) but there is no worse situation than an airport that is too small. Flew to Augusta once on a prop plane. Flight back was cancelled and there wasn’t another flight out for two days. Not to mention the only available food at that airport was a vending machine.

    summary:
    - yormark generated over a million in revenue just by adding floor seats to the big 12 tournament
    - yormark, utah, colorado, az schools are speaking on a weekly basis
    - bill self and jerome tang outwardly hoping to add arizona (and the others)
    - “three industry sources” think that we get at least some of the 4, and if 2 or more leave then the pac-12 is no longer a P5 conference
    - pac-12 had the same media deal offer as the big 12 but they sat on it
    - oregon and washington aren’t doing anything until the big ten has given a definitive answer which won’t be until after april 17
    - younger, hipper, cooler, jay-z’s friend, all time zones, conference of luxury, intersection of sports and culture etc

    I also think it doesn't suck here and think many Big 12 fans would enjoy visiting Tempe or Tucson during football season. Just not too early in the season.
