As I read it, after I had read the posts on this thread, it certainly seemed to me that the gist of the story was that DeLoss Dodds was a pompous, arrogant ass who singlehandedly ruled the B12. Then I got to a part of the story that made me scratch my head. This story was supposedly related by the TCU AD at a B12 meeting to celebrate the career of DeLoss Dodds.

What's wrong with this picture?

This sounds to me like a roast of Dodds. Even if it wasn't at a roast, a lot of times people share made-up stories at retirement parties.

This story might fit in with Dodds' character (probably an exaggerated version of his character), but I'll bet everyone who heard it live knew that this isn't how things went down for TCU.

It may have or not, but Dodds is old school, come from a generation in Texas where multi-million dollar deals were done on a handshake. Might have gone down, exactly this way; Conte kissed the ring.

Dodds is old school, but he's from Kansas.
