So sCUm coach Hawk thinks this will give the Big 12 south teams an advantage on the field and in recruiting and that it doesn't bother him. Well it sounds like Dumbo Dan isn't planning on being around Colorado and the Big 12 for much longer.
As for me its a 14/15 hour drive both ways (850 mles). Would probably be a 4 to 5 day trip and with tickets, consessions, parking and hotel rooms thrown in... Well I know I usually spend 5-600 dollars just to go to a game in Lincoln so a trip to Arlington for a game doesn't seem to be in the cards for me and my crew. I've always thought that Arrow Head Stadium in KC seems to fit the bill better.
This just sounds like another power play by our friends from the old SW Conference.

Your right, and IMO anyone who thinks differently is kidding themselves. Last I checked there was still two divisions in the big 12, so why should only one of them get to host the championship game in their own back yard every year? I'm sorry but conceding any more of the competitive and regional advantage to the south teams is a very stupid idea, and one that no Husker fan should be supporting!
Seriously, how do you justify only one group of fans having to travel long distances to attend the game every year. Why shouldn't the south fans (who have more income and population on average) have to shoulder the same financial burden of travel and the added costs associated with it equally with the north teams?
Now keep in mind, I could get to Cowboy stadium, through their absurdly overpriced parking lot, and in my seat in 90 minutes if traffic is light. And I still feel this is a really, REALLY bad thing for any Big 12 North fan.
