Big 12's presidents are done meeting, Bob Bowlsby just said. Most have left with bags. Saw Boschini, Hargis, Gee already leave.

David Ubben ‏@davidubben · 19m19 minutes ago
Meeting running shorter is most definitely not a good sign for expansion. Not sure of complete schedule, but plan was to conclude at 4 CT.

Ive spent more time on the can today than they did in that meeting. Apparently my nervousness was all for naught. Even my bhole hates the big12.

Georgia Tech to the Big 12

That's a yellow jacket, which is a wasp, not a bee.

University of Baltimore is the Bees.

 

[superjohn]

Big 12 is so incredibly dysfunctional, what was it a 12 minute meeting?

 

[Exit 4]

They have invested a lot of time here. If they voted for no expansion it hardly means this is over. In a year from now the same limited demographic reach/small footprint issue will be staring them in the face as it always will be until they get their conf more solidly in two time zones.

It'll be interesting to see what if anything is done by the left behinds.

Plus another miss in the CFB playoff.

One interesting bit of speculation I've heard: the longer discussions go today, probably the better for expansion. More details to work out.

Presidents have begun leaving Big 12 meeting. With meeting ending early, cannot be good for expansion today.

Chuck Carlton ‏@ChuckCarltonDMN · 4m4 minutes ago
Told meeting ended at 1:45, just short of six hours.

Chuck Carlton ‏@ChuckCarltonDMN · 3m3 minutes ago
Big 12 still holding to 5:30 press conference with Boren, Bowlsby.

University of Baltimore is the Bees.

It must not work very well because they don't have a varsity athletics program.

Take it for what it's worth.

No new members were added to the #Big12 during today's Big 12 Board of Directors meeting, multiple sources tell http://HornsDigest.com.

I am absolutely fascinated, come 7 o'clock tonight, what the relationship among ESPN, UConn, state government and the state's fans will be.

Big 12 spokesman: "We are on for 5:30 as of now” on the press conference. Oh boy...

Jason Williams ‏@jwilliamscincy 5m5 minutes ago
Big 12 spokesman just came out of mtg room and asked what decision is on expansion. He smiled and said: "It depends on your perspective."

 

[huskymedic]

The gap between now and the start of the press conference is going to be absolute torture for those on Twitter/Social Media who are naive and gullible.

 

[CL82]

I'm guessing it will be a "no decision."

Short of an invite, that's the best of all possible outcomes.

Entire Big 12 expansion/non expansion nonsense seems to have stemmed from David Boren thinking out loud. Maybe ignore him next time.

 

[SirHypeAlot]

No expansion is even worse. I was ready for my fate to be dealt today. God dammit!!!

Gary Parrish ‏@GaryParrishCBS · 8m8 minutes ago
This will go down as the most ridiculous quest for conference expansion in history. Such an embarrassing process.

Big 12 expansion meeting ends early, rumors exploding everywhere

That clears things up!

If Horns Digest & SI are 100 pct. correct and there is no expansion ... and according to SI Big 12 is still discussing more TV revenue 1/2

Jeff Jacobs ‏@jacobscourant 2m2 minutes ago
do you realize ESPN is leveraging against the state where it operates? 2/2

Jacobs is late to the party.

 

[Huskyforlife]

I can't believe the B12 wasted all this time to decide on adding nobody.

Steven Godfrey ‏@38Godfrey 2m 2 minutes ago
Can confirm that the Big 12 informed candidates there will be no expansion “at this time.”

 

[Skiblets]

Jacobs is late to the party.

Time for Jeff to uphold his promise(or was it a resolution) to use the power of the pen to apply the needed pressure on ESPN and whoever the hell else he can to get answers and help to make this happen. Blowhard article a year ago and then. Nothing from him.
