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

This is the last year of the BCS...I wonder what this year (2014-15) under the playoff looks like?
 
Teel tweets...

Unlike the SEC and others, #ACC has not projected 2014-15 revenue, but with MD settlement and CFP windfall, expect significant spike.
 
The ACC will likely land at about $25M all in.

And next year, the same. And then the next year, it'll be the same. And then, the same. Repeat until 2025.

Basically, the fifth horse in what will be a two-horse race.
 
Can't argue the money race. The SEC and B1G will be the money guys.

Doesn't translate into wins all of the time...or Texas would be doing better than they have.

But it sure won't hurt.
 
Georgetown sells rights to Fox...

"The deal will pay Georgetown an estimated $1 million-$3 million per year (more depending on its success, according to informed insiders), punching up the bottom line of Georgetown’s roughly $34.5 million annual athletic budget. Once Fox recoups that investment, revenue-sharing kicks in, with both the network and athletic department benefiting."

Our girls basketball team sold it's broadcast rights for $1 million before Aresco lumped in our tier 3 rights in the AAC media deal.

Actually, our women's basketball sold their tier 3 rights for $1.8m to a regional network, SNY.
 
Well, we all know what this means.

If Rule #1 of conference realignment holds true, the Big 12 is about to raid the AAC and take two non-UConn schools.

So far sounds like Boren has only mentioned taking 2, and also said it's not urgent. Ugh. My guess is UCF and either Memphis or Cincy is top of the list; my hope is they decide to think about adding 4, UConn gets a serious look (maybe along with Temple), someone leaks to the press, then the B1G or ACC swoops in...

If I am the Big 12, I go big and be the first to get to 16. Take the best chess pieces left off the table in UConn/UCF/Cincy/Memphis/BYU and Boise (with Boise and BYU as football only). This move would probably push the B1G to 16 as, which would result in raids on the ACC. At that point the SEC probably goes to 16 too and the ACC loses again. Strip FSU, Clemson, UVA and Georgia Tech out of the ACC and watch how fast that conference loses it's stature.

It's an aggressive move that in the near-term would probably cost members $$$, but long term will allow it to gobble up money the ACC would lose out on.
 
Boren is the one that Cincy's President keeps cozying up to:

“I think it’s something we should strive for while we have the time, stability, all of that to look and be choosy,” Boren said. “(We) can be very selective about who we want to add. It would have to add value to the conference. I think we should.”

“How many years can this go on?” Boren said. “Finally, it just gets to be really debilitating. I worry about that. That’s something I just worry about long-term about the conference, not short term.”

“The elephant in the room remains the network south of us (Longhorn Network) that has struggled and has in a way as long as it’s there,” Boren said. “And we have done quite well with our network and if anything ever changed, it has value to it which we see. But someday, maybe we’ll get past that other problem as well. It’s a problem.”

“The contract says that our main television contract … if we grow from 10 to 11 or 11 to 12, their payments to us grow proportionally,” Boren said. “So everybody’s share stays the same. If it’s ‘X’ dollars, it stays ‘X’ dollars.

LOL, so basically everything the hillbilly said was completely unfounded.

Boren says Big 12 would not have to cut TV $$$ pie into smaller pieces with expansion, which qualifies as news.

Dan Wolken ‏@DanWolken · 15m15 minutes ago
@ChuckCarltonDMN Bowlsby has made several statements completely contradicting that assertion…

Chuck Carlton ‏@ChuckCarltonDMN · 14m14 minutes ago
@DanWolken I've heard the exact same thing from Bowlsby and others and reported it. Trying to figure this one out.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 12m12 minutes ago
@ChuckCarltonDMN @DanWolken No way to reconcile what Boren said with what has been said before... repeatedly....

Reporting on all things Big 12 for the Dallas Morning News. Like the conference I cover, I've improbably survived a couple rounds of realignment.

That really is the No. 1 takeaway from today if nothing else from what Boren said today. People can read it as OU frustration with the Big 12, but I think he's laying the groundwork for expansion.

Never really thought UConn was a legitimate candidate for the Big XII. Then again, I didn't think Louisville was a better candidate for the ACC ahead of UConn either, so what do I know?

UConn adds value. If they are thinking conference network our mens and women's bball teams are valuable programming. Few schools bring the overall value uconn does. FB needs to step up.

Bob Bowlsby: "We talk about membership at ever meeting. I think our presidents individually have their own opinions on things." (more)

Chuck Carlton ‏@ChuckCarltonDMN · 56m56 minutes ago
Bowlsby (cont): "I get the feeling that nothing has changed since we last discussed it."

Chuck Carlton ‏@ChuckCarltonDMN · 53m53 minutes ago
Bowlsby said at some point majority in Big 12 may feel "that we should get bigger. I have not heard at this point that they feel that way."
 
Based on Bowlsby's comments, it's pretty obvious that Boren is making it clear that OU is saying "fix this issue with the LHN so we can have our own conference network or we're going to start looking for a new home".

The question that has always been out there is can OU make a break without little brother OSU? If they can make a move on their own then the SEC & B1G are likely in play. If they have to take OSU with them the only possibility is the PAC & IMO unless Texas come with them the PAC has no interest in any combination of schools that doesn't include UT
