It turns out after adding on new schools for his television network, Jim Delany approached Dan Beebe about a swap of conference names. Beebe told Delany to buzz off. Boy, wouldn’t you have liked to have been a fly on the wall once Delany got off the phone after that conversation?
I guess nobody’s told Delany there isn’t a Big Fourteen conference out there.

The linked story said that Delany claimed the Big 12 asked first. Are you just assuming Delany is lying to save face, which is a safe bet?

It’s a joke. I can’t imagine what Beebe was thinking. Which is probably another reason he’s out of that job.

What am I missing? From the link I gather Beebe came to Delany not the other way around.

That’s okay. I’m starting to get the impression this is one of my more feeble attempts at humor.
