So it's going to take 3 years to get enough of their rights back to launch a network?

Sounds about right.

I seriously doubt that ND just committed their non-football teams to the ACC until 2036.

Probably more like... *If* ND is still a non-football member of the conference, football cannot join another conference.

UH and Hunter Yurachek should pursue every avenue to become Power Five. Just what they should be doing. But the Pac-12 isn’t adding UH.

Jason ‏@KenobiMyrkr · 6h6 hours ago
@GeorgeSchroeder TV market would expand footprint. Houston not a sexy enough name? Time difference concerns?

George Schroeder‏@GeorgeSchroeder
@KenobiMyrkr Yes/2nd question. Also: To think Larry Scott/Pac-12, having tried 1/2 Big 12, is going to go after UH is wrong. (1/2)

George Schroeder ‏@GeorgeSchroeder · 6h6 hours ago
@KenobiMyrkr If P12 was looking to expand—& it’s currently not--it’d make another run at B12 haves, not UH. (2/2)

George Schroeder ‏@GeorgeSchroeder · 6h6 hours ago
@KenobiMyrkr Sorry: Yes/FIRST question (not sexy enough name).

George Schroeder ‏@GeorgeSchroeder · 5h5 hours ago
@JeffPortland If—IF—P12 wanted to, Texas is 1 it wants. Then? Okla. BUT B12 grant of rights now makes it untenable to move for 4-5 more yrs.

Dr. Saturday‏@YahooDrSaturday
Houston to Pac-12 is very unlikely IMO. Seems like a way to put a bit of pressure on the Big 12 to make a decision.

George Schroeder ‏@GeorgeSchroeder · 5h5 hours ago
‘Cept it’s so unlikely—i.e., not gonna happen—that it’s zero pressure on Big 12.

Per @McMurphyESPN, the ACC Network will launch by August 2019 and the league has extended its conference grant of rights through 2036.

Chuck Carlton ‏@ChuckCarltonDMN · 4h4 hours ago
So much for the Big 12's admittedly very longshot hopes of making a run at Florida State some time. 2036? Wow.

Alex Apyan ‏@AeroApe51 · 4h4 hours ago
@ChuckCarltonDMN wonder if this changes the complexion of tomorrow's discussion

Chuck Carlton‏@ChuckCarltonDMN
@AeroApe51 You would think ...

Dezy Hume ‏@DezyHume · 4h4 hours ago
@ChuckCarltonDMN @AeroApe51 You're telling me you don't think they knew this was coming?

Alex Apyan ‏@AeroApe51 · 4h4 hours ago
@ChuckCarltonDMN this is becoming agonizing, as the deliberate, proactive moves by the other P5s are so foreign to the big12.

The Pac-12 is not expanding and Houston is not going there.
No, the Pac-12 is not expanding -- and Houston is not going there

Per Dodd's story:
"There was no pitch or anything," Yurachek said. "There's no substance to that [report] at all."

The AD said he had the idea to pick Scott's brain so he scheduled a stop to San Francisco on his way to the NCAA Track and Field Championships last month in Eugene, Oregon.

"I emailed his office. He agreed to meet me and spent 30 or 45 minutes with me. I had never met Larry Scott in my life."

Yurachek was merely interested in meeting a major power broker in college athletics."

Going to be interesting to see if the reported ACC network deal will change the dynamic of today’s Big 12 presidents meeting...

Jake Trotter ‏@Jake_Trotter · 11m11 minutes ago
ACC grants of rights now up 11 years after Big 12’s. Would seemingly make Big 12 the more vulnerable conf in event of seismic realignment

Jake Trotter ‏@Jake_Trotter · 7m7 minutes ago
One of the side effects of Big 12 expansion would be the extension of the league’s grant of rights.

Once again, ESPN picks the winners and losers in conference realignment.
Once again, it's choices hurt the University of Connecticut and thus the taxpayers of Connecticut. I would never give these guys a dime in taxpayer money ever again. They made a huge bricks and motar investment in the state. They aren't going anywhere.

Seems like "OK" news here - either the Big 12 is not expanding now or, more likely, Houston has been told they won't be part of it.
