40 of them "key tweets"

1,500 s***ing on Rutger and BC

10o of them from Fishy berating us for poisoning this thread

1,360 of them are even more useless than whatever moonshine-inspired verbal diarrhea that leaks out of West Virginia.

Excellent work everyone. We should be proud?

I really don't think this is a key tweet.

How many comments were about ND and their hidden agenda to join the B1G? That's what I want to know.

They hired an analysis firm for this? Talk about overthinking it.

Big 12 doesn’t want to expand and never has. Lot of fiction still gets put out, however.

‏@GeorgeSchroeder Big 12 presidents meet tomorrow. Expansion isn’t on the agenda, Bowlsby says. Expects a report from composition committee as is usual.

Michael DeCourcy ‏@tsnmike · 40m40 minutes ago
@DanWolken Oh, OK. So Boren didn't say all this? http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsext...cle_cd7816c7-5571-5ebe-9392-3911e9337f83.html …

‏@DanWolken @tsnmike One president doesn’t speak for the entire league.

Michael DeCourcy
‏@tsnmike @DanWolken I didn't say he did. But to report on the existence of the possibility is hardly fiction.

Dan Wolken ‏@DanWolken · 39m39 minutes ago
@tsnmike Boren is a career politician. My sense is he’d be less public if his opinion was prevalent in the league.

Dan Wolken ‏@DanWolken · 28m28 minutes ago
@tsnmike Nothing has changed. Unless forced to expand at the point of a bayonet, no combo of available schools changes Big 12’s destiny.

It's odd that they seem to be going out of their way to say that they didn't discuss expansion. They wouldn't be doing their jobs if they didn't at least set aside some time to talk about expansion. Therefore, they are either completely incompetent or are lying about not discussing expansion at all. It all seems suspicious to me.

Big 12 working with Navigate Research out of Chicago numbers crunching and Bevilacqua Helfant Ventures (BHV) on TV and media consulting.
Expand ...

Number crunching???? That does not sound like the Big12. Why can't they just expand the way the B12 always has....pick the Texas team currently not in the B12 who had the best football season last year and add them. You do not need a search committee to tell you that you can never own enough Texas....

You cannot put a price on "cultural fit", ...ohhh, actually you can and its $40 million which is what the Big and SEC will be paying out but who is counting?.

If the Big XII is an FOI-able entity, and they are following Roberts' Rules of procedure, conference expansion is very well a contract action. Contract term negotiations may be held in executive session, which is off the record and cannot be FOI'ed. A decent lawyer can spin almost anything to fall under the terms of ES. A creative lawyer can remove the, "almost."

Is the fact that an "unbiased" firm is doing the research helpful for us? Seems like they'd favor us over "flash in the pan" programs like Memphis or UCF.. Just my two cents
