They’re not voting members yet. Big 12 needs more balance which means they need more teams in the east
The Big 12 presidents just invited 2 schools who 1) dont even want to be there. And 2) will sabotage any efforts to move further east.Yormark wants UConn but the Big 12 Presidents don’t,
Michael Crow and the other noobs won’t vote for UConn ahead of WSU and Oregon State.
Nelson wasn't completely wrong on his assessment, his timing was off by a reasonable amount and he (as he too often does) held on too tight to a notion and dismissed any possible alternative.
At the moment going entirely streaming (with the streaming service then selling off some content to linear distributors) is not far from what it would have been like in 1993 if someone decided to use a cell phone as their only source of phone service (which many do today). There are still some moving parts that will need to be tied down before this will be feasible as a norm but the day will arrive when this will almost universally be the norm.
If we are stuck in the BE for an extended time I would like our leadership to look into something like Apple as an outlet for all tier three (and independent football) broadcasts.
Exactly. With all the Western additions, there is no chance they will only have 3 in the East. UConn will enable the B12 to plant a flag here to plan for the eventual ACC blow up.They’re not voting members yet. Big 12 needs more balance which means they need more teams in the east
Out of curiosity do the newly added trams even have a vote yet? The next teams will be added before the end of the calendar year and the 4 pac schools will not be in yet.Yormark wants UConn but the Big 12 Presidents don’t,

They are not media experts. Let's hope Yormark can sell them in the national conference vision. It is a matter of survival for the future.The Big 12 presidents just invited 2 schools who 1) dont even want to be there. And 2) will sabotage any efforts to move further east.
These people are not very bright
The rumor is they want to add before December 2023. Yormark already got the presidents to approve 17th and 18th.Out of curiosity do the newly added trams even have a vote yet? The next teams will be added before the end of the calendar year and the 4 pac schools will not be in yet.
Great. Another beauty contest.
This is exactly why those presidents aren't media experts like Yormark. They are school administrators for a reason. Also, every school president wants to be associated with schools like Cal and Stanford. I am still confident both will end up in the B1G once B1G can find the media money to pay for both. B1G presidents will jump through hoops to get both into the conference even with crappy football.I think it’s funny that many are now annointing Crow as this sports visionary.
To his credit, he has changed the profile of ASU academically from a party school that was a safety school for SoCal kids to a legit higher education school that just became an AAU member.
However, he blindly supported Larry Scott as he was in the process of leading the PAC to extinction. He was Scott’s public mouthpiece for years.
I heard, from several ASU people, that the AZ Board of Regents basically had to drag him to the B12 because he wanted to stay attached to Cal & Stanford as the ship went down.
Full ASU president interview here. The Apple platform looks amazing though. UConn should look into this.
Around 5:30 mark, he mentioned the ACC option. GoKU was correct if this is true. ASU was ready to stay in the PAC until Friday morning call until 2 schools didn't show up to the meeting. You can guess which 2 were those schools. B12 would have invited UConn had the 3 corner schools stayed.
I am pretty sure conferences like B1G will go to 24 at some point. They are like the mafia, and they will keep growing as long as there are more money to be made.Maybe it’s exhaustion, but with all the nonsense and the fat west orientation of the league, I’m basically not really too interested in the XII anymore. A lot of my interest was predicated in building a big eastern contingent, and even if it’s us and like OSU there’s not a lot of eastern room left
This allows only current members to choose the expansion schools. They just added 4 western teams who will have 25% of the votes. I can’t see them adding any more western schools since the existing schools would be handing over too much power. If ACC gor holds up and the acc doesn’t implode by December, UConn has a pretty good shot at one of the big 12’s 17 or 18 spotsThe rumor is they want to add before December 2023.

This isn't over yet for this year. Therefore, I don't think the new schools can vote for 17th and 18th.
ACC is run by old dinosaurs who don't think out of the box, and they only react. They will never think like Yormark who got pro rata payout negotiation done for P5 schools number 13 to 16 with his last media deal negotiation.This allows only current members to choose the expansion schools.

This is why school presidents should not negotiate TV media deals. Leave it to the real experts.LOL. Crow called the Apple App “23d Century Star Trek”.
Someone tell this guy that it’s already brought to market.

ZooCougar- Don’t give up… Don’t ever give up.Stop torturing yourself.
When it comes down to it they will strongly consider us but at the last minute they will take SMU and some other school.
It always happens like this.
He was wrong. Why apologize? I think UConn will take the first offer that comes along now. I don't see UConn going to the Big 12 anymore as they would have been invited already, and now I wonder about the ACC. If they were going to add the Arizona's without UConn, then things are really grim.Yeah people that doubted him should apologize to him. I always thought his info was legit. ASU president's interview cleared up many things. Yormark was a genius for pulling them away from the ACC.
My only question is why the ACC didn't even bother to offer us even with all the B12 interest. Even if ACC offered, I really really hope our admin is smart enough to reject the ACC and take the B12 offer.
