Also ACC could be targeting a school that B12 is talking to for expansion. In hearing Uconn but have heard Cincy from others.
80s Tiger @80sTiger 17h17 hours ago
THE
@MH ver3 problem with this is that the B12 isn't talking to UConn

New rumor from B12 country. 3 large donors from schools not named UT are offering to help buy UT out of LHN
MH ver3 @MH ver3 2h2 hours ago
These donors have jointly agreed to pay UT all the LHN money they have pledged to academics-plus 10%, for the remainder of LHN contract
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
These donors are also pledging to buy back some Tier3 content that fox controls for a B12N
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
These 3 donors are from Baylor, WVU, and OKST.

@MH ver3 Boone Pickens donates a lot to UT. He's one of them I'm sure.
MH ver3 @MH v er3 1h1 hour ago
@UTDrew6 I wasn't given their names but I'm assuming Pickens was one. No clue on Baylor guy. WVU is either Mylan's estate or Kendrick.

@TheFrogCastTCU @MH ver3 @UTDrew6 Baylor has a few possibilities Drayton McClane most likely.

@columbiasooner @MH ver3 @UTDrew6 B12 has issues but man those donors are loaded, even with oil and gas down.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
Interesting tidbit: OU source says AZ and AZST would join B12 today if not for the Pac12 GOR.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
These two schools could be the reason why B12 thinks 14 is the ideal number for now.

@MH ver3 Why don't the 8 TX/OK/KS schools join PAC to make it 20-team league + absorb UA/ASU/into a 10-team east div? Fixes P12N distrib prob
MH ver3 @MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
@bc_frogs same reason they didn't take UT and friends last time. LHN. And now GOR.
brock @bc_frogs 1h1 hour ago
@MH ver3 LHN already on the table & 8-9 can dissolve B12 GOR. Seems issue is $ because of P12N probs + UT not wanting to be in a mega-league

@MH ver3 what would that do to the ND NBC contract if they are in the ACC?? Wouldn't the ACC request a GoR?

@GygaxIsGod NBC contract is my question as well.

Expanded College Football Playoffs is not happening anytime soon. TV Media Partners love the current set-up....love their current contract
Greg Flugaur @flugempire 4h4 hours ago
But some continue to use this "hope" of a sudden change to expanded College FB Playoffs to put their head deep into their sandbox
Greg Flugaur @flugempire 4h4 hours ago
The solution to B12 issues is not an expanded playoffs anyways....but you already know this...
Greg Flugaur @flugempire 4h4 hours ago
We have some people on Twitter who have gone from"B12 has easiest pathway to playoffs" to "B12 believes it's not broken, needs plyoffs at 6"

College TV Partners pay lots of $ for regular season games (Conf & Non Conf) They don't want to devalue importance of these games.

@mavblues @Big12Conference No. If BYU is excluded it's because they are in "3rd B12 Timezone"...FOX don't support BYU addition to B12
Doug @NebGradDubDub 3h3 hours ago
So who is looking out for OU's best interest? Seems like Boren is obsessed with keeping OU/OSU tied together. Huge mistake.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 2h2 hours ago
@NebGradDubDub OU's best interest is in the Big 12.
Doug @NebGradDubDub 2h2 hours ago
@theDudeofWV OU/OSU best interest is the B12. OU's best interest is not the B12. It's the B10 or SEC. IMO, B10
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 1h1 hour ago
@NebGradDubDub It's the Big 12 at least until 2023.
Doug @NebGradDubDub 1h1 hour ago
@theDudeofWV I agree with you on the GOR, but I think OU can get out of it with help from the remaining B12 members and FOX/ESPN....
Doug @NebGradDubDub 1h1 hour ago
@theDudeofWV OU announcing future intentions to leave the B12 after current GOR would be very damaging to the rest of the B12.....
Doug @NebGradDubDub 1h1 hour ago
@theDudeofWV the uncertainty of the league's future would kill recruiting and stop future financial projects for the rest of its members
Doug @NebGradDubDub 1h1 hour ago
@theDudeofWV in other words, if OU wants out tomorrow, the rest of the B12 would be wise to collect a fee and let them go
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 1m1 minute ago
@NebGradDubDub No. That's not happening. The fee would be very, very large.
Greg Flugaur @flugempire 3h3 hours ago
@NebGradDubDub Boren can't move OU out of B12 unless it's total B12 implosion OU will move out in 2025 if reform not tried..or not worked
Greg Flugaur @flugempire 3h3 hours ago
@NebGradDubDub Boren is not the problem in the B12. To do nothing is certain death of B12 in 7-8 years
Doug @NebGradDubDub 2h2 hours ago
@flugempire it's looking like to me, that Boren is trying to keep OU/OSU together.
Greg Flugaur @flugempire 1h1 hour ago
@NebGradDubDub Boren has always wanted to save B12 first. But if he can't...better for OU future exit that he tried everything to save B12
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 4h4 hours ago
In other news.... So where are the people who told me I know nothing when I said the Big 12 wouldn't likely expand?
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 4h4 hours ago
The current thought process in the Big 12 is this: We are not broken. The playoff system needs 6 spots. 1 each P5 champ & 1 at large.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 4h4 hours ago
Yea WVU and OU still want to expand....
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 4h4 hours ago
Lyons says network and expansion are tied. they are a package.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 2h2 hours ago
It should be very clear that B1G fan boys know nothing about the Big 12.

@ChuckCarltonDMN Anything to say about the Coloradoan beat writer basically saying CSU won't be seriously considered for B12 expansion?
Chuck Carlton @ChuckCarltonDMN 56m56 minutes ago
@caingle We'll see. I was surprised by Colorado St as top 4 possibility but trust my sources. Still, UConn, Cincy, BYU better positioned.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV 4m4 minutes ago
@ChuckCarltonDMN @caingle BYU and UCONN are the schools of the day - today.
