After the meeting with Navigate I'm told UT's coaches are now solidly in the want-to-expand-camp
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
The research showed that each time 2 schools were added to B12 the % for making playoffs went up
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
16 is actually the ideal number for % of making the playoffs as it dilutes the competition.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
14 is the sweet spot (when adding G5 only) as it keeps level of competition high and increases % of making CFP to 25% better than now
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
Being told that if coaches could make the decision to expand it would actually be a 100% vote in favor of.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
If TCU president will fully come on board then B12 will expand.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
If UT can remain whole they will give up LHN to the whole of the conference.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
Navigate listed the top 6 G5 schools as well
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
They were ranked on history, ratings, market size, market penetration, similarities with B12 schools, and population of state

1.Uconn 2.BYU 3.UC 4.UCF 5. Memphis 6. ECU(!?!)
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
Houston was not on the list but was discussed as was USF. Houston is in a market we control and UCF is preferred over USF

@MH ver3 so we went from your info that Acc teams were in the works to adding 4 G5? WTH
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
@geoffmitchell and B10 will have to pull that trigger first anyway.

@MH ver3 why wouldn't TCU vote to expand? They certainly have benefitted from previous expansions
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
@cjkrvc they have sided with UT on all issues since joining because UT got them in.

@MH ver3 What good is market size if members already share or dominate the same market?
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
@HuskyCast which is why Houston was not on the list

@MH ver3 0-12 UCF? That's funny

@KilcreaKelly @MH ver3 USF fan it's not based on 1 season of a sport.If it was, it would be beyond shortsighted & the most idiotic position
KMK. @KilcreaKelly 32m32 minutes ago
@BriUConn @MH ver3 question not answered, what advantages do they have over USF? Also why would you create another island team?
MH ver3 @MH ver3 30m30 minutes ago
@KilcreaKelly @BriUConn larger alumni base and enrollment, better facilities, better market(no pro team), better academics
KMK. @KilcreaKelly 27m27 minutes ago
@MH ver3 @BriUConn Check again. UCF does not have better academics. No research rankings at all
Brian A @BriUConn 24m24 minutes ago
@MH ver3 Come on now, how certain this is the list and rank?
MH ver3 @MH ver3 20m20 minutes ago
@BriUConn this is the order my source told me. Straight from our coaches mouth to his ear.
Jared Rossi @JaredRossi 25m25 minutes agoDenver, CO
@MH ver3 this list can't be taken seriously if Colorado State isn't even on it..
MH ver3 @MH ver3 20m20 minutes ago
@JaredRossi sorry BYU was the only western school on this list.

@MH ver3 Are they considering 14 now, or are we stuck on baby steps?
MH ver3 @MH ver3 5m5 minutes ago
@TheRealRonFunk I think it's baby steps until B10 has finalized deal and whether or not they will expand themselves.
