I have a feeling that ice skating isn't as subjective as you make it out to be. As the moz pointed out, the strike zone seems subjective to those who don't know the official rules (what is it? between the elbows and the knees?)

On a different note, where's the place where the cool kids get their Olympic info? The official MSNBCCCPLMNOP one is crap.

It's been linked to metafilter. Anyway, unbelievable.

Tyson is dangerous. He should really be locked up, but man... I can't wait to see this.

Colorado To Pac-10
Mountain West plus Boise State plus what is going to be left of the Big 12 (maybe Baylor, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State, and could or could not be Missouri).
I can't imagine Missouri going to the Mountain West, I'm convinced they've got a deal elsewhere.
Worst case scenerio: Missouri + Texas schools leave, the remaining get folded into the Mountain West. Kansas becomes the Memphis of the division. Recruiting is hurt as is the ability to pay and retain coaches like Bill Self. The Border War rivalry disappears, and I can't really see any sort of meaningful rivalry developing in the Mountain West. This is from a basketball team who had a large portion of their regular season games getting ESPN broadcasts. I can't see anyone tuning into see KU v Brigham Young.
It is not as if Kansas' football program is that bad, they won the Orange Bowl in 2008. Damn all those Texas schools. There's a couple of scenarios where Kansas and KState could end up in the Pac-10/16, though I really, really doubt it.
There's some collateral damage too. Kansas City built the Sprint Center for the Big 12 tournament. It was questionable whether or not it was needed (it wasn't), but having such a nice, new facility used only to host the occasional Miley Cyrus concert is sad.
