Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Now you guys really are screwing up this thread.

Unless you're posting something important from Twitter, take the chatter to another thread.

I'm going to have to start deleting posts and that's work and it will annoy me to the point where I will delete people.

   With Schulz leaving as chair of Big 12 board of directors, he could be replaced by K-State interim pres or next pres in line: David Boren.

   "Early research?" Like they're analyzing DNA strands or something?

@mikefinger Actually that part is pretty final, Bowlsby said. Probably bad phrasing my part. Work on schedule models, league number ongoing.

Disappointed. I was hoping they'd be scheduled for Hartford.

Semi-reliable sources at one of the universities says that Cincinnati, Memphis, Boise and BYU will be added to take membership to 14. Are you hearing anything similar?

Berry Tramel Mar 30 2016 12:11 PM
No. Not at all. I can tell you that Memphis is a non-starter. Way down the list. Now, Connecticut is a different story. You put UConn and BYU into a Big 12 Network, and you've got a lot of eyeballs. Cincy and Boise State would be fine, too. But not Memphis. No football fan base. None at all.

That's as key as we get around here. Nice find.

If the B12 final four were Cincy, Memphis, Boise and BYU, it could only mean that the B1G had taken UConn.

Thats the only sensible rationalization.....truthfully unless its the only option you guys need any P5 NOT the B12.....its a shaky house of cards...

 

[MattMang23]

And at those meetings they will introduce six new members: Cincy, BYU, Memphis, Florida St, Clemson, and Boise. Not UConn. And then the B10 will announce their two new additions to get them to 16: UNC and UVA. UConn and the AAC will then announce their backfill with Southern Mississippi and Notre Dame...

...Of Fairfield.

Don't spill the beans unless they know the secret handshake.

 

[UConn Dan]

Could mean absolutely nothing or could mean we are in.

Most likely means the B12 respects BYU and is willing to schedule them, but wants to keep alive a threat of disowning them in order to maintain negotiating leverage should they be considered for B12 invite. If staying in the G5 is potentially disastrous, BYU might accept a very low payout for a while.
