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

Let's see...

Which of the B12's expansion candidates could help the league the most in attracting new sports streaming platforms like this:

Amazon Said to Seek Sports Video Rights From Tennis to Rugby

(I know it's not a tweet, but it is key.)

Hopefully the Big 12 was watching when the PACN signed a deal with Sling recently. The opportunity is there for the Big 12 to not only catch up from an image perspective but jump ahead by taking the conference network to streaming services like Amazon, Twitter, Hulu, etc.. while others are tied to ESPN.

1. Cincinnati and BYU haven't presented yet? Is that because the Big 12 scheduled them for later this week or next? If so, why? If it's not because of the Big 12, then what the hell else are UC and BYU doing right now? Odd that they'd be so late in the interview process.

Unless there was meaning in the order of presentations, with the two favored candidates going last.

Re Houston not going yet...

He didn't say Houston hadn't gone yet, it's BYU and Cincinnati who haven't and apparently won't until next week. CL's point could be true that they're saving their two favorites for last, but if I'm in the BYU and UC camp I have to be a little jittery sitting around for days while all of my competition has their chance to state their case.

According to the Cincy board on csnbbs, they presented today.

Wouldn't be shocked if Blauds' info was wrong lol

My group is gonna be on the highway xm next. Gonna give a UConn big xii shout. Give a listen.

We got it in. Not very gracefully, but got it.

Is there a SoundCloud or something that we could tap into?

Alum Jason Pierre Paul also attended and was seen leaving the meeting giving 1 and a 1/2 thumbs up.

 

[Stinger92860]

It would seem to me that a combination of UC/BYU/UConn/UCF would provide the most new eyeballs for B12 TV versus any other 4 team combo. If I am a network, this would get my vote.

 

[Kevin Caliendo]

if that reporting is correct, then UConn's best chance is if BYU and UH are football only members and UC and UConn full members

 

[Marty Jackson]

if that reporting is correct, then UConn's best chance is if BYU and UH are football only members and UC and UConn full members

That's been thrown out as a viable option. Then if ok and ut leave you've got two waiting on the bench

 

[UCFBfan]

That would make sense as football is the only program at Houston that seems relevant right now. If you're going to take a school as FB only UH seems to fit that bill. If/when UT leaves then they can add them for all sports.

Seeing people think UH should be an all sport member and UConn should be a FB only add is just asinine.

 

[Waquoit]

He also points out that for UConn it is simply a matter of waiting to see if they have finally cleared the hurdle into the Power 5.

What does this mean?

 

[MattMang23]

Is there a SoundCloud or something that we could tap into?

I think you can play the show on Sirius' on demand if you have an account. I don't have an account so I'm not really sure how to do it or how it all works.

 

[huskymedic]

What does this mean?

It was a direct quote. I took it as UConn has done all it could up to this point and now its a waiting game.

[NYUConn]

Brando realizes that if they expand tomorrow the team's won't arrive until next season right?

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

If Texas runs the table or even have one loss, there's a slim chance they're left out. Their remaining road schedule is very doable, at Cal, OK State, K State, Tech, Kansas. Outside of the OU neutral game, all of the Big 12's best teams go to Austin - WVU, Baylor, and TCU.

It's really not a key tweet but the title get's it placed here!

SportzEdge 8: Why the Big Ten should kick out Rutgers, add UConn

This line did make me chuckle: "Rutgers brings the New York City market the same way Taco Bell brings you quality Mexican cuisine."

[UConnDan97]

Wow. I would have put good money on the fact that UConn and BYU were locks for expansion when this all started, due to it being done primarily for tv money purposes. But if this backlash gets enough traction, it looks like UConn / Cincy will be the favorites in my opinion...

My man, Dennis Dodd, making a good salary stating the obvious. The Joe Tessitore of sports writers.

I don't care who the 2nd one is, as long as UConn is the first.
