@Dooley funny thing how people's opinion's change when even minimum subscriber fees and DMA numbers are put together. That's when reality hits and the metrics are realized....

The BIG gets it. Big chunks of geography having well-to-do people and cable access is the priority. Bad football programs and poor athletic departments can be fixed. Prime DMAs and demographics can't be replicated or relocated.

Remember this about the Big 12: The networks are already overpaying them or else there wouldn't be a Big 12.

Isn't the point that the B12 owns its Tier 3 rights and ACC does not? So long as B12 owns those, a B12 network has additional content to sell.

Yep...Boren said that Oklahoma cleared $2.5 million on it's Sooner Channel.

Mitch Vingle: Big 12 expansion and MEC tournament news

One comment and it is a UConn hater, of course. It is crazy how much people hate us. It goes back to what I've said here every time we are given zero respect. Everyone that knows us well is afraid of us. It is instinctual for the average fan to be horrified of UConn. Why? We win championships, we got good at football quick, we have facilities, we have a market, we have a brand and we are very strong academically.
Every hater wants to keep us out because they know they'll be challenged by us or constantly beaten by us and a P5 invite will put us right back on a level playing field. Its crazy. All these guys think Memphis and UCF and ECU are better choices, yeah, right. No they don't.

As I mentioned here before, adding Connecticut would give the league access into the Northeast, including New York. It’s what the Big Ten thought when it took in Rutgers — only Connecticut has good basketball. (And went to a BCS bowl in football.)

Cincinnati, meanwhile, isn’t Ohio State, but at least the Bearcats’ large state is cabled.

Remember when the Cincinnati Enquirer requested public records and published communications between UC and the Big 12? Well, after that, reports surfaced that Connecticut president Susan Herbst hosted dinner for Kansas State president Kirk Schulz, who happens to be chairman of the Big 12 board of directors.

As I’ve written, UC and UConn are the front-runners for any open spots, but word I get is a third option is Central Florida. There is also some sentiment for Houston and Memphis, but if the league wishes to dive into Florida, UCF seems the leader

"First, any expansion would happen over a two-year period."
Did I miss something? I don't remember this being said. I thought the B12 summer meetings would be when/where any expansion decisions are made. Maybe I'm jumping the gun.
 
Louisville left the AAC for $11 million and Rutgers for $11.5 million.....if you pay up, you don't have to wait the 27 months between notice and exit, I reckon.

Correct. We don't have an exit fee. We have a 27 month notice requirement, which can be negotiated down by paying up.

Announce in May/June, join 27 months later

CR talk begins at the 36 minute mark. Schroeder says from his digging around the past few months, there isn't the appetite for the schools available... but then later he says that inventory could play a role. Going back and forth on what Boren's endgame is. Talking about network numbers, mentions analysis that they think the B12N would do better than the Pac12N (which is having major problems).

Wolken "I'd be very surprised" if cable companies in central FL would pay whatever fee for B12... most potential candidates for markets UConn, Memphis, Cincy. Schroeder - MBB/WBB could be a staple for network.

Guess - Expansion unlikely. No binding votes on expansion in May, maybe in June. They're more in survey mode. If it's 6-4, likely nothing happens, need to get to 8 votes and then they'll need to decide what schools.

Who is in anti-expansion camp? DW - TCU. GS - probably Texas, Baylor, maybe K-State. Schools don't want that info in public eye of who is pro/anti.

AAC commissioner Mike Aresco said the league’s MBB tourney will most likely return to Orlando in ‘18 after heading back to Hartford in ’17.

Matt Murschel ‏@osmattmurschel · 17m17 minutes ago  Orlando, FL
Aresco said Orlando could also be one of the cities bidding to host the #AAC Tourney in the future ‘19 and beyond.

@DanWolken. FedEx Forum in Memphis makes sense but they won't do it.

Dan Wolken ‏@DanWolken · 15m15 minutes ago
Not until there’s a new coach and a different attitude about the local program.

Sorry, but at the risk of incurring the wrath of Fishy, I have to say that Wolken is an unbelievable loser.

What kind of comment is that? "There's really no good place to have this thing?" This is a conference with Top 25 media markets and densely populated cities. Moving it out of Orlando has nothing to do with the city not wanting it, it has to do with the NCAA being there next year.

This is a guy who from Day 1 seems to have resented the fact that The American even exists. He's been down on us and every program in the conference.

Sorry, rant over, I just can't stand the guy.

I think some of us resent the fact that the American exists... I'm just saying - there would be a good place to have this thing if half or more of the schools were within a reasonable drive's distance to said place.
 
There would be a good place to have this thing if anyone in this conference actually cared enough about this conference to actually show up to the tournament games.

So that leads to Temple. Not sure why they aren't looking at Philly.

Expansion has been an ongoing embarrassment for the ACC. On Tuesday, during those thrilling games involving the bottom four seeds, they curtained off the upper deck of Verizon Center to try to hide the emptiness of the building. (The crowd was announced at 7,000, which may have been counting by twos.)

On this episode of LSL, the guys spoke to ACC/Fox Sports South Network’s Wes Durham (54:20) about the ACC basketball season and the potential for an ESPN ACC Network and other possibilities for revenue. UofL Board of Trustee member Dr. Bob Hughes (1:22:00) joined us to give us some insight on the Board’s purpose and where all the drama came from last week.

We spoke to Wes Durham of the ACC Network/Fox Sports South on our program tonight. He told us that if there is no ACC Network agreement by July 1st, that 'reportedly' ESPN would owe the ACC $45 million.
PODCAST IS HERE

Wes mentioned something called "cross-platform branding", meaning that whatever Raycom produces it would fall under the 'ACC Network' umbrella.
