@FOXSports Eric Shanks reiterates @Big12Conference expansion not the best path for conference #SBJSMT

Fox Sports' Eric Shanks and Fox Sports National Networks' Jamie Horowitz are on #sbjsmt Live now!
Watch here: SMT Live
 
Jamie Horowitz is sort of the Jeff Hathaway of television executives.

I am shocked to learn that Fox really hasn't been supportive of expansion. I thought for sure they were dying to cough up hundred of millions like I read here.

It's just odd...DB doesn't tweet that much...so you would think each tweet has some intent. What could possibly be the intent here? If I was Diaco....this would annoy me. But then again...Diaco isn't on twitter (which doesn't make sense)...so he will probably never know.

It''s a message to the BY - "Accept what is, let go of what was, and have faith in what will be." ;)

The Buzz William retweet the same day must have been for KO - LOL.

Being the best isn’t natural. You must bend your life around being great. Beat the urge to rest after you’ve achieved a taste of success.

I didn't notice Benedict was the one retweeting that, just thought it was some rando following Randy Edsall. Strange and not in a good way.

OU and Texas could save the Big 12, but do they want to?

Jake Trotter
ESPN Staff Writer


"Absolutely they can save the Big 12, without question," said one conference insider. "But they've also had plenty of opportunities to lay the cards down that way.

"And have yet to indicate that."

And in the Big 12, as the national brands and founding members, Texas and Oklahoma wield influence in the boardroom in a manner they wouldn't be able to in any other Power 5 conference. In fact, if it resulted in a rights extension, one Big 12 official suggested that the league would be perfectly fine with giving Texas the authority to pick one expansion school, and Oklahoma, the other.

OU and Texas could save the Big 12, but do they want to?
 
If you've ever been there, you could just have easily guessed sniper pen. That's a great city, but that school and the stadium border an area that makes Bridgeport look like greenwich

I have... it kind of reminded me of the area around Legion Field in Birmingham when we were there for the Papa John Bowl (but Birmingham was less built up).

I've been one of the biggest ones saying OK had no real place to go but, if it meant Delany could get Texas by taking OK he would do it in a heartbeat, then drop the mike, and walk off into the sunset.

The real question would likely be, "Would Texas be fine with just being a member like everyone else?"

If there are enough incentives to do so and too few viable options not to do so, everybody falls in line. Look at Nebraska and Texas A&M. In the Big 12, they were anti-conference network and anti-equal revenue sharing.
 
I like the comment about the big12 begin close to the AAC in pro top picks. Go AAC!
 
The only certainty going forward regardless of what does or does not happen is that OU and UT will be well off and the other 8 will he scrambling.

None of the L8 have a clear path to another conference.

So If quality of football is a major criteria for getting into the P5, as a result of this seasons games, Navy beating Houston, UConn beating Cincinnati, Cincinnati giving Houston a run for its money, and UConn almost beating Navy, I would think that both Houston and Cincinnati should no longer be considered P5 candidates. Maybe, Navy is a P5 school?? Lol
 
I love "transitive wins"...

So Navy beats Houston..but Navy is beaten by Air Force who is beaten by Wyoming....Wyoming ought to be P5.

Or Ga Southern

who beat South Alabama
who beat San Diego St.
who beat Cal
who beat Texas
who beat Notre Dame
who beat Syracuse
who beat UConn

Ga Southern to the P5
