Ralph Russo: AP Source: Dungy part of USF pitch to Big 12 as meeting wrap

>>Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy was part of South Florida's pitch to the Big 12 and former major league first baseman Tino Martinez also went to bat for the Bulls.

The Big 12 on Friday concluded a week of meetings in North Texas with the 11 schools vying to join the conference. USF, Cincinnati and Rice made the final presentations, according to three people with knowledge of the meetings who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the conference was keeping its meetings confidential.

According to a person familiar with USF's pitch, Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeffrey Vinik was part of the team sent to Texas and the presentation included a video with Dungy and Martinez endorsing the Bulls.<<

David Boren: Big 12 expansion "not a given"

Ryan Aber@ryaber 2 hours ago
Still sifting through 30 mins w/ Boren. He also said he would take into consideration the wishes of fans. Will exp candidates excite fans?

Eric Bailey ‏@EricBaileyTW 2h 2 hours ago
Boren in weighing Big 12 candidates-Do they add financial strength? Do they add athletic/academic strength? Do they add athletic excitement?

Eric Bailey ‏@EricBaileyTW 2h2 hours ago
Boren: "I'm also listening to fans, not just to our coaches & AD ... How do they feel about it? Are they excited about the expansion pool?"

OU's Boren: Big 12 expansion 'not a sure thing'

TULSA, Okla. -- Oklahoma president and Big 12 board chair David Boren said Wednesday that Big 12 expansion is "not a sure thing" and that he is "not certain" there will be any decision on expansion at the league's next board meeting in October.

Doing nothing ain't bad.

Why? I think this hornet's nest Boren - singlehandedly - provoked is good for UConn & others. I hate that we were pitted against each other for most of this year. However ... WE (the outcasts) have strengths and WE are National. I say billybud: you can have your freaking Privates in BC & Wake & SU and let them suck you dry for decades. There will be Content beyond the ACC Network, the SEC Network, The B1G Network; there will be a reckoning for this B12 in 2024; and there is going to be a bunch more money for the eyeballs that aren't in this new B12 aborted concept. Now, I believe that the AAC is not good for us in an All Sports league. We need to see where this drives to. This was an education process; and I am thinking that there is a big probability that they take no one.

Tx Lt Gov @DanPatrick continues his push 2get @UHouston & @SMU n @Big12Conference:"We'll c how @UofOklahoma votes. Could they really vote no?

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick continues his push to get the University of Houston and SMU into the Big 12: “This is about Texas schools. I don't really give a hoot and a holler about UConn or some school in Florida or anywhere else. This is good for Texas. Texas schools oughta vote for other Texas schools. I know there's 'well we won't be able to recruit. We won't be able to get those kids.' Will you put Texas first, put our kids first? They have to vote. We'll see how Oklahoma votes. I mean after the thrashing they took from the University of Houston, could they really vote no? I can't imagine they'd vote no. I feel good about the University of Houston. We'll see what happens with SMU.”
