Message: [QUOTE="dayooper, post: 1769731, member: 3859"] I think this is a shakedown of the media partners. The Big12 presidents/ADs can read the writing on the wall, so they are trying to milk as much money out of ESPN/Fox as they can. They don't want 14 teams in the conference, they want more money. Yes, there are certain schools that wanted expansion, but it wasn't majority. What kept the Big12 teams happy was Texas pushing the idea that FSU, Miami, GT and Clemson were coming once the ACC GoR expired. Now that is off the books, the push for expansion has hit the media. Now you are hearing certain P5 teams want to either come back or go to the Big12. We have heard rumors of Arizona, ASU, UCLA, Colorado, Missouri and Nebraska all have expressed interest is the league when their respective GoRs expire. Who has started these rumors? Texas? ESPN/Fox? And why would they get started? (I assume they are false.) [/QUOTE]
