Couple small expansion notes I'm hearing: Big 12 expected to seriously talk with six to eight schools in the process.

Andrew Castle ‏@MileHigh_Castle · 30m30 minutes ago
@ChuckCarltonDMN any idea of the timeline for those discussions?

Best way to describe it: ongoing.

K-State offensive coordinator Dana Dimel, a former head coach at Houston, thinks Cougars would be bad for Big 12

Chuck Carlton ‏@ChuckCarltonDMN · 30m30 minutes ago
The suggestion is that Houston in the Big 12 would make recruiting that area even tougher. Already pretty difficult.

Chuck Carlton ‏@ChuckCarltonDMN · 29m29 minutes ago
As you can probably imagine, a lot of discussions behind the scenes. Industry source very skeptical any announcement before season begins.

There's a report of Big 12 officials in Orlando today to visit UCF. Is that one of the schools?

Chuck Carlton‏@ChuckCarltonDMN
@okieproud76 Based on what I'm hearing, UCF in the mix.

Take on more than 4 and the B12 is headed for G5 status in a few years!!

BREAKING: National LGBT groups are urging the Big 12 to drop BYU from consideration over alleged discrimination.

Jon Solomon ‏@JonSolomonCBS · 14m14 minutes ago
This is going to make BYU harder for the Big 12 to stomach.
 
So the timing of this can't be coincidental. By all accounts the Big 12 wants to wrap this up sooner rather than later. Key players are the 10 universities, Fox and ESPN. Who puts this story in the public? None other than FoxSports who has said they want the Big 12 to expand east. I'm thinking more and more there may be something to the UC/UH rumor.

All it takes is a nudge. Most of these groups probably have no idea what the Big XII even is, but it someone drops a line here or there someone will bite.

I agree with the groups, but you're right, the timing is suspect.

Because UH is East?

Clean out coaching staff. Hire new coach.

Here is a copy of the letter the LGBT advocacy group "Athlete Ally" sent to Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby:

That letter was also sent to all 10 Big 12 presidents, as well.

UH, on the timing of that LGBT tweet…

UniversityofHouston‏@UHouston 26m26 minutes ago
@AaronDickens Written and scheduled during business hours earlier today. UH Athletics need no help getting the recognition they deserve.
 
I'm very pro LGBTQ rights and I think it's definitely something that should be taken into consideration.

That being said, feel like it shows a total lack of tact from Houston to trivialize and use their LGBTQ archive and pander that for an invite to a football conference.

Or the UConn/Cincy duo. I'm not buying that the Big 12 is going to decide on two schools only and both of them be city schools.

It would surprise me if either UConn, Cincy, or Houston worked behind the scenes to bring this up.
 
So they wrote this drivel during the day and no one caught the spelling errors! UGGH !! Houston Cougars = Hillary Clinton. Lies, lies and more damn lies!!

No need to be surprised by Houston, behind the scenes, they do it on the scene.

If they believe they are directly competing with BYU, Go for it.

Your entire AD is at risk if you get left behind.

I just think it's pretty disingenuous and almost insulting to that community to have their University use their history as a pawn in their athletic conference pursuit.

And look, I'm not the prototypical person who finds a way to be "offended" by everything they see. I just feel like when you know people who go through some of those struggles, they might feel a certain if their school was tweeting out "Look at us! Look at us! They are bad, we are good we love LGBTQs can we play football now??"
 
Hey, I like football, and I also check off a couple of boxes in "LGBT." If UConn wants to be vocal about some of the ways they've been supportive to the community in recent years (which they have) in order to help snag a Big 12 invite, I am fine with that. I'm glad I can go to UConn games and feel safe at Rentschler Field (which I do). I also happen to know that the director of the Rainbow Center on campus loves football, and she wouldn't want our sports programs to fall by the wayside, either. :)

Nah. We don't send students to die on scissor lifts in windy conditions or look the other way on child abuse in our football locker room showers just to add an extra W or two to our football resume. If we ever get like some programs willing to sacrifice everything for a win I'd rather just disband the team.

LGBT players, coaches and fans are always welcome to the BYU campus. I mean, just look at my last name, the "l" is silent... what other proof do you need that myself and BYU love "those people". Everyone should be treated with respect, dignity and love before they are sent to the burning cauldron's of hell where all sinners belong. Tom
