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

The Big10 absolutely does. All but MSU (which would be a flagship if UofM wasn’t already), Purdue, Northwestern and soon to be USC. If those flagships are even decent, people in the state will watch, at least in the Midwest they will.

Northwestern not a state flagship .
Only private University in the conference - glad they are
 
On the PR front, I mean, we need to read what the university isn’t saying. There’s corroborated reports of Big 12 interest. Rather than your usual “We are fully committed to the Big East Conference. At this point, we have only had preliminary discussions about any option that may be best for the institution”. The subsequent lack of a lobbying effort after the visit would hopefully, fingers crossed, maybe, optimistically, says it’s basically done and they’re trying to figure out the other additions

Yup, that’s what I wrote. Illinois is that states flagship. USC will soon be the 2nd private university in the conference.

Hopkins (not counting I Chicago)? Which will also keep USC from being the B10 school in the toughest neighborhood.

The possible flow could be:

Recruit: Hey coach what’s all this talk about the B12?
Coach: Yes, I‘m hearing the chatter also. It’s certainly a possibility and I would support the move if it were to happen. Right no we have nothing definitive.

If I were a recruit I would ask. If I were the coach, I would be cautious but upbeat and it is a possibility.

Probably more like "Well Jimmy, that's nothing I can talk to you about today, but let me just say that this university is committed to competing at the absolute highest levels and winning national championships. We're going to associate with schools will feel the same way. I can't say any more about that to you today, but I hope to be able to real soon."

Hopkins is Lacrosse only. If you want to include them, I have no issue. You would also have to include ND as well (hockey). U of Chicago has no official connection remaining with the Big10 anymore. When the CiC was disbanded, UofC did not join the Big10 Academic Consortium.

Is a non-key non-key tweet a key to eat, kind of like multiplying a negative by a negative?

Hmm, based on that explanation I could make an argument that multiplying (-3)*(-5) actually equals 12.

If the explanation is that you "start" at the (-3) mark on the x axis, and "change direction" towards the positive side (of the y axis) by multiplying (-3) by (-5), then (-3)*(-5) moves you 12 ticks to the right of (-3) or to the +12 mark.

In a brief moment of self awareness, though, I realize I've come indoors from my Father's Day, poolside, family celebration to read the BY, and this is what got my attention? Back to the pool. Kawabunga, and Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers and grandfathers here.

It’s curious move. I think he is covering his backside because they clearly are under nondisclosure obligations. This a public way to paper over any future claim they improperly disclosed info to a recruit.
 
Recruit: Hey coach I would like to come to UConn, but hearing that you might be going to the big 12 any truth to that rumor?
Coach Mora: I'm hearing the same rumors, but if it was to happen it would be really great for this football program.

This is the feeling I am getting about the conversation dealing with CR and what Coach might have said.

Yeah, in and of itself I don't think the Cole Welliver recruitment can give us such confidence a Big 12 invite is coming. In fact, if I had to lean one way or the other, I would lean to a Big 12 invite not coming. But we will find out soon and I hope I am wrong.

I think the Colorado bylaws require a 24 hour notice of agenda items for their executive meetings/voting items.

Oregon State AD Scott Barnes supports uneven split of College Football Playoff revenue

Barnes believes it's appropriate to "incentivize" revenue to teams participating in the CFP, but is against an uneven split of media rights payouts
www.oregonlive.com www.oregonlive.com

->In the run-up to a Pac-12 media rights agreement and the grant of rights, uneven distribution of revenue among conference schools has been a point of discussion. Will power players such as Oregon and Washington eventually receive a larger slice of the revenue pie than Oregon State?

OSU athletic director Scott Barnes is unconcerned. He believes the “baseline revenue,” meaning television money, will be split evenly among the existing 10 Pac-12 members. Where uneven revenue sharing comes into play has to do with postseason bonuses.

Barnes said at this point, Pac-12 schools that participate in the College Football Playoff receiving a greater share of postseason revenue than others is a hypothetical concept, though it is being seriously discussed.

It’s substantial money, as a recent report said CFP payouts could hit $2 billion per year by 2027. If a competing school makes a playoff run and is allowed to keep up to half of the payout, it could be an eight-figure windfall.

“My feeling on that is that I’m good with it,” Barnes said. “I think that’s a next step and where we sit, we’re in a position, frankly, with our football program. As you think about the percentage split, it’s got to be balanced, but I think there’s traction and I would support going down the path of incentivized distribution of things like CFP.” <-
 
Interesting that leaders from two of the least valuable PAC schools (WSU and OSU) are the only ones that have been talking to the media. Nary a peep from Washington Oregon Cal and Stanford
