Just been told something by BTM. I need to ask a few questions..bad bad day for this..but. Info has to do with FOX. I will be back

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
I've been told (BTM) many MANY in Big Ten leadership positions believe FOX will AT LEAST successfully win bid on 50% of Tier1 B1G TV Package

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
My questions on why?....why is there this belief...and question of what ripple effect if any should we anticipate

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
@AB670 Personally I have no idea. I was beginning to think ESPN was going to keep status quo and keep all (with ABC) B1G Tier 1...IDK

 

[CL82]

Please let it be UConn to the B1G....Please let it be UConn to the B1G...Please let it be UConn...

My expansion update is done. It’s even been edited. Will be posted Friday.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
I added Boise State & UH to the matrix.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
Based on the data (& only the data) the top 2 are BYU & Boise.

‏@theDudeofWV @dodgerjazzcougs BSU not under consideration due to location.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@dodgerjazzcougs As crazy as it sounds FSU may be looking in 2017.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@dodgerjazzcougs FSU has $ problems. Worried about ACC SoS going forward.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@dodgerjazzcougs @ToddatWyler If BYU gets in - and they should - it’s because of their program & TV ratings not Utah recruiting.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
My take is this. The B12 should add 4 but phase their conf revenues in over 10 years.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
add BYU, UCF, Cincy & let ECU/UCONN fight it out over last spot.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 55m55 minutes ago
But folks, & this is important, Big 12 has not decided to expand or decided on who to invite.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 55m55 minutes ago
Depending on the day of the week the B12 has between 4-6 votes for the idea of expanding.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 54m54 minutes ago
And the Big 12 is not close to deciding. 2016 at the earliest. Most likely 2017.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 52m52 minutes ago
Despite everything I’m told otherwise the safe bet us the B12 waits until 2017 & ESPNs decision on ACCN before making any moves.

Reading this entry makes it seem that the Dude is bipolar. He's up, he's down, he's all over the landscape. He's covering all bases so that, no matter what does or doesn't happen, he can say that he predicted the outcome.

 

[Dooley]

Let UConn fight it out with ECU?

He's such an arse crumb. His last "matrix" spit out UConn and BYU.

 

[don356]

Not to mention he said they were only going to look east.

My guess is that he thinks he has an audience that impatiently awaits his every tweet and that he feels that he can influence the decision makers by positing on scenarios that he kicks around in his head.

The guy is not fully in touch with reality.

 

[businesslawyer]

The guy is not fully in touch with reality.

Don't hold back. Come right out and say you think he's a lawyer.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Yeah, his official name/title is The Dude Esq.

25 Things To Watch going into 2015 season. From coaches gone wild to one bold prediction.
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoo...h-previewing-the-2015-college-football-season

#25 is interesting...
25. Bold prediction: The ACC will add its own network and -- soon -- another team. Hint: A certain nationally known independent.

I don't think it will happen but interesting nonetheless

I think it will happen - if ND has a two or more loss season. The caveat - ND will want to retain the right to go independent again at a specific juncture in the future in case the cable box melt down leads to a new media environment in 10 to 15 years.

If the ACC agrees to that...the countdown clock for implosion is on for them.

This is more of a Key Tweet. What happened to standards?

Wait...so the ACC is going to bring a team from the Mountain Time Zone when they don't even have a team in the Central?.....yeah NOT happening.

What was that flying over your head?

Dodd is talking about Notre Dame. He recently wrote an article about it:

Notre Dame has lost independent luster, should join conference soon
It's entirely possible that Boise State gets a guaranteed spot at 10-2. With the same record, Notre Dame could be left wishing.

That scenario alone is why the Irish will finally join a conference sooner rather than later. Don't ask me how that lucrative NBC contract would be folded in. That's fine print.

If Notre Dame made the all-in call to ACC commissioner John Swofford tomorrow, the details would be worked out pronto. As it stands, being half pregnant in the ACC isn't enough. Being left out is too much.

This column would not have been written unless that tipping point was imminent.

[31GuardTrap]

Yupp....I clearly missed the message there. My bad.

 

[nd73]

Yeah I was joking....

 

[31GuardTrap]

ND is going 8-4 this yr so any shot at the playoffs or New Year's six just isn't happening anyway.

This is a lot of smoke coming from Dodd over the last few weeks. Possible he actually has something here.

Much of the national guys these days are very, very careful when writing about expansion. They don't just put themselves out there anymore.

Yep and thats because many of them are employed by tv media giants who wish to avoid tampering/ tortious interference charges - legit or not.

@Smith_C12 If...IF...ND finally becomes 15th member of ACC...I believe ND will have a heavy hand in selecting 16...part of negotiations.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 58m58 minutes ago
@Smith_C12 Who would ND want? Who would ND go to bat for?
Navy?...yep...but that's not happening...nope.
Texas?.....UT not available..yet.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 56m56 minutes ago
@Smith_C12 CINCY or UCONN?....huuuummm....it doesn't ring out yes to me. But both are available....both have valid arguments to make

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 55m55 minutes ago
@Smith_C12 Who would ND want between CINCY or UCONN?
Who would ESPN/ACCN want between the 2?
I have no info nor opinion as of yet.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 54m54 minutes ago
@Smith_C12 But you are correct...If ND becomes 15...someone becomes 16 in ACC....and when Dereg passes in Jan..could be 17&18...in ACC

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 47m47 minutes ago
Actually the most interesting part of @dennisdoddcbs new article is his bold prediction of a ACCN coming SOON. If true...IF true..

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 46m46 minutes ago
....lines up perfectly to what BTM told us in April & June...ESPN will not let their ACC schools/content become vulnerable...to a raid

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 45m45 minutes ago
truth is...OU/KU are the most attainable/valuable schools for expansion from existing P5...this info I tweeted out in April caused meltdown

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 44m44 minutes ago
And again..let me repeat...OU/KU not attainable now. Unless UT bolts first...
But the point is..PACN getting > distribution with DIRECTV...

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 42m42 minutes ago
...and if...IF ACC is able to have Disney build the ACCN...Big 12 most valuable assets have lots of campaign gifts/packages coming their way

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 37m37 minutes ago
Remember
"perfect world for Texas (described...my Big 12 guy), they would want to join the ACC as full members with wait for it Notre Dame"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 36m36 minutes ago
My last tweet was a quote from @frankthetank111
Now combined it with @dennisdoddcbs article today on Bold Preductions #25.
interesting

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 30m30 minutes ago
Actually UCONN & CINCY both ring yes to me...at this point don't know who rings the ACC bell louder.
But yes..combo with ND...both work

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 18m18 minutes ago
@ScottBonz I don't see YET...ND having the vital relationship with UCONN to go to bat for them.
But I could've wrong in my assumptions

 

[CL82]

Damn, should have taken the 10 game ND deal.

 

[upstater]

Damn, should have taken the 10 game ND deal.

ND recruits Cincy football heavily. Doubt they want Cincy in the same conference.
