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

Delaney absolutely wants Texas. Believe me. He does. He's looking for one last power play before he retires and landing Texas would do just that.

Of course it's all speculation but I don't see JD ever taking the likes of a UT or ND. They're conference wreckers and this is his legacy. He's done quite well without headline grabbing, center pieces of the table. Plus he's got Rutgers.

He has been after ND for a very long time. He may get Texas. Time will tell.

I can't see Delany ever taking Texas into the B1G.

Why? Are you bad at math?

Which, translated, is Delaney saying 'we aren't coming to them but we sure as hell would be thrilled if/when they come to us."

Or is it, "We are laughing at the low rent way you boys have handled yourselves. That Suzie Herbst, though, has been a class act all through this process..."

I'm tempted to say, 'no, no that's not it.' But who am I to question Conspiracy Kitty. She has her paw on the pulse.

Utahns? Utahohans? Utahamanians? Utahonians?

 

[nomar]

Whatever the "Majority of Utahns" oppose is invariably something one will or should want to do.

Tough call whether there's a state I'd less rather live in. (Confession: I enjoy drinking.)

I would've thought "Utahans."

Lol yes, with more than half their home games still to be played, they have decided to turn their stadium into a construction zone.

Jamie Horowitz is sort of the Jeff Hathaway of television executives.

I am shocked to learn that Fox really hasn't been supportive of expansion. I thought for sure they were dying to cough up hundred of millions like I read here.

NOT a good decision by DB. Intent might have been benign but that raises eyebrows for no reason. Don't see Jay Jacobs retweeting Gene Chizik.

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

100% agree. That is a straight up bad decision.

It's just odd...DB doesn't tweet that much...so you would think each tweet has some intent. What could possibly be the intent here? If I was Diaco....this would annoy me. But then again...Diaco isn't on twitter (which doesn't make sense)...so he will probably never know.

It''s a message to the BY - "Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be."

The Buzz William retweet the same day must have been for KO - LOL.

I didn't notice Benedict was the one retweeting that, just thought it was some rando following Randy Edsall. Strange and not in a good way.

OU and Texas could save the Big 12, but do they want to?

Jake Trotter
ESPN Staff Writer


"Absolutely they can save the Big 12, without question," said one conference insider. "But they've also had plenty of opportunities to lay the cards down that way.

"And have yet to indicate that."

And in the Big 12, as the national brands and founding members, Texas and Oklahoma wield influence in the boardroom in a manner they wouldn't be able to in any other Power 5 conference. In fact, if it resulted in a rights extension, one Big 12 official suggested that the league would be perfectly fine with giving Texas the authority to pick one expansion school, and Oklahoma, the other.

OU and Texas could save the Big 12, but do they want to?

 

[UConnSportsGuy]

Texas the authority to pick one expansion school

HOUSTON

Oklahoma, the other

BYU

 

[gioff23]

If you've ever been there, you could just have easily guessed sniper pen. That's a great city, but that school and the stadium border an area that makes Bridgeport look like greenwich
