In 1968, someone told me that a black man would not be president until pigs flew. Now, swine flu!

Hahaha! Hahaha? Ha?

Wow

Like Paterno said, that was a very polite response by Delany.

Agreed
“Coach Paterno … is as important a coach, leader, teacher as we’ve ever had in college sports,” Delany said. "So what he says gets disproportionate weight, and properly so. Whether it’s in a coaches’ meeting, a meeting of athletic directors or university presidents, his work and recommendation still means a lot. Coach Paterno has a lot of experience in this area. He’s played around with conference configurations. He knows it’s not easy, and he knows what he says matters.

“But the point of it is, [expansion is] a very big issue, it’s a fundamental issue and it’s a back-burner issue right now.”

A very polite no freakin way.

Fundamental & back-burner

Is it just me, ot do those two things not go together? If it IS fundamental, wouldn’t the issue be at the forefront?

Not really

It is a fundamental issue and they’ve decided against expansion, putting any talk of it on the backburner. Fundamental means it’s something important for them to consider/decide about and they’ve done so by deciding it wasn’t worth pursuing without the proper candidate (which seems to be limited to Notre Dame).
