How do you know it's not real? The fed ex guy is going to bank roll their whole athetic department out his petty cash fund to make it happen. Or the coaches will coach for free.

Guys this is insane. Last year Memphis's Athletic Department expenses were $50.2 Million. Their revenue was the same at $50.2 Million.

What is being suggested here is that Memphis would be giving away an entire year's worth of revenue just for admission.

Of that $50 million in revenue #, $10 million is in rights and "other" meaning gate #s etc. Giving up that money means that they will be carrying at least a $10 million loss every year for five years.

Then to take a "graduated" payment over the next 10 years means that you're adding even more debt over the next decade.

So the real cost of admission for Memphis into the Big 12 is probably between $125-150 million.

NOT GONNA HAPPEN.

Haha no, sorry. I just think it's unbelievable how people don't seem to understand how much money we are talking about here. This isn't chump change even for a billionaire.

@MH3 B12 decision will be made on compromise...recruiting grounds with institutions that are good with travel and being dumped on 5-7 yrs

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 5h5 hours ago
@MH3 UH-MEM-CINCY...2 out of those 3 will be dumped on some for first 5-7 years. Will need to take backloaded contract...extreme backload

Greg Flugaur‏@flugempire @MH3 They will also need to take on a * load of 11:00am gms. BYU is not a candidate anymore...location doesn't work.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 5h5 hours ago
@MH3 To many schools raise red flag on BYU...
11:00am games are not going away..BYU would be difficult partner in taking more of 11:00gms

@MH3 Geography.
B12 is unstable enough..don't want to go 3rd time zone.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 5h5 hours ago
@MHver3 MEM is for reasons you have stated....are willing to be dumped on and will come out better for doing so. FB TV market and Recruiting

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 5h5 hours ago
@MH3 CINCY is now top 3...because they have no push back from any portion of the B12 decision makers..including FOX/ESPN.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 5h5 hours ago
@MHver3 UH is top 3 candidate for political reasons..the push for UT to include UH in Austin is intense. Intense. IOU's being passed around

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 5h5 hours ago
@MH3 There is no B12 Network in B12 future. That variable is not even being discussed when it comes to potential candidates.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 5h5 hours ago
@MH3 This is why,according to B10 perception, the candidates are down -CINCY-MEM-UH.
But final negotiations with schools have not started

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 5h5 hours ago
@Skurtz91 @MH If they were considering brand...TV following it would be BYU.
But they are not. Recruiting ground/travel not a BYU +

if this is a summary of all that tweet nonsense, thank you very much. I still think either Houston or Rice is in the conversation. Houston is too large a city to leave out, I don't know why everyone gets so hung up on state borders.

Houston is extremely valuable you're right. I've always thought Rice was an intriguing option with their academic prowess and their baseball team is always top notch. Problem is as much as people don't care about UH in Texas absolutely NOBODY cares about Rice.

What's hilarious in all of this is that the conference affiliation for the most part makes or breaks athletic programs/departments. If the SEC had taken freakin Rice and the University of North Texas, all of a sudden 5* Texas kids would be lining up to go there. Crazy how much actually rides on these decisions

@UHJDC @Epfourteen @JerryCoog UH has a shot only if BYU is disagreeable to compromise & Cincy falters. Has to hope UCF slide continues.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Doesn't look like the B12 schools will budge on expansion. Only about 4 or 5 schools in favor. OU, BU, WVU, ISU & KSU.

Gregory D. M. K. ‏@GregGregoryKJ · 34m34 minutes ago
@theDudeofWV Why would a school like TT, TCU or Oklahoma State not want to expand?

Christopher Lambert
‏@theDudeofWV @GregGregoryKJ Can't agree on candidates most likely.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Unless the Big 12 champ misses the playoffs then no expansion. They want to see a pattern of selection before acting.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
The good news is that all seem to agree a B12 CCG with only 11 just increases their chances of being left out.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
They are discussing a network & Texas is participating in the discussion. A B12 COULD change the key metrics.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@armysooner Expansion is inevitable. The other P5 confs resent the B12 not having a CCG.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@palmer4Cy Yes. Let's hope UT hires Luck.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@armysooner The first time a B12 champ with 1 loss gets left out again they will expand.

Huge game changer involving ESPN!

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 17m17 minutes ago
ESPN and NFL are working towards a deal that will transfer MNF off espn balance sheet and network and back over to ABC's

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 16m16 minutes ago
This will free up nearly 2 billion dollars in assets on espn's side of things to help stop the hemorrhaging and have room for new B10 deal

@posas13 @MH ver3 @flugempire @Expansion_Crush I think ESPN gets B1G tier 1

@posas13 you're getting it. Both networks win.

Aaron ‏@posas13 1m1 minute ago
@MH ver3 Then Disney has a lock on CFB. Top three assets, SEC & B10....CFB Playoff. @OmegaSupreme914


ME: That wouldn't be a move to do anything other than cost control. Moving MNF back to network TV (IF it happens) just appeases the NFL with more exposure. The payout is still the same. The NFL won't allow them to pay LESS than what's already agreed to. It's all Disney's problem, anyway. Frankly, I don't what's stupider, this reasoning or someone later asking if they're going to air CFB on Mondays?

[brasssbonanzaa]

Tulane to the Big 12??? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[DarthGrumpy]

The rumors surrounding the XII get wilder by the day. Reminds the talk surrounding the old Big E and the ACC right before everything exploded. I suspect it is safe to say something will happen with the XII, the question is what and when. If the XII is shut out from the football playoffs again (both Baylor and TCU end-up with 1 loss each or more), then when will be this winter or spring.

 

[Slasher]

I don't see any way MNF moves to ABC. They have three hours of content they'd have to move, which is already getting decent ratings. They move MNF to ABC and ESPN ratings tank and ABC sees a marginal uptick. In the end, that's not productive, they're one company.

If it were to happen, it probably wouldn't be until next season at the earliest. It appears that Disney is playing accounting games. A move like this does not save the 350 production and back office personnel on the chopping block.

Yes, moving MNF to ESPN was a great move. Whatever sporting event ESPN would run against MFN would likely get crushed, while ABC can run non-sports content that can compete for viewers who don't watch football (or at least not that game).

Because OSU would've allowed that. Plus it doesn't add a new market for the B1G, we already have Ohio on lockdown, and Kentucky isn't going to swap over for Cincy

• Dont even get me started on the Bullshit with Ohio State and Cincy.

Thanks for the Maryland thing, BTW. Only place I've had batteries thrown at my head after beating them.
