Like I said, he is the only one saying the P5, will collectively bargain their TV rights. Makes 0.0, sense for Alabama and Michigan to collectively bargain argue for TCU and Wake Forest to make more money. Those teams are already taking less so Purdue and Vanderbilt get paid more in their own leagues.

His track record is similar to the dude's. Must have the same sources.

What a freaking cluster%$#@. I really want out of this conference, but damn, the Big XII is disorganized, sloppy, and airs way too much dirty laundry in public.

I'm sure it seems that way but keep in mind the people whose opinions really matter have all been rather quiet. Bowlsby, Boren and Gee have made comments from time to time but nothing they have said was controversial. Fenves hasn't even spoken, which is good because if there's one thing Chip Brown got right it's that his predecessor, Bill Powers, would have fired from the hip.

What the Big 12 is actually cursed with is a legion of ax-grinding, attention-seeking speculators with suspect sources, vivid imaginations and, of course, twitter accounts.

Don't get too worked up over anything you hear unless the source is cited as a direct quote from the president or chancellor of a Big 12 school.

Chip Brown is a Michigan native and Wolverine fan who went to SMU on a tennis scholarship and eventually became a reporter for the Dallas Morning News.

He was assigned to cover the Texas Longhorns and as long as he wrote positive articles, Mack Brown gave him full access, which made Chip a respected and reliable reporter for a good many years.

However, when Chip began reporting on cracks in the veneer of the program, the thin-skinned coach cut him off and Chip had to start quoting anonymous sources. He left the DMN and began working for Texas fan pay site.

You have to justify that $9,95/month pay site with "insider info" so Chip's news became increasingly speculative and dubious.

That said, he's still a funny and entertaining guy - as long as you, take everything he says with a grain of salt.

And believe it or not, I'd still trust him before I'd trust Kirk Bohls or Brian Davis. Those guys are the WORST. They have bad sources too but they don't even have the imagination to speculate.

Are the B1G and ACC going to sit back and watch the B12 potentially (if the news is trending good) devalue some of their NE properties or does it not matter on the balance sheet?

A quick edit I was thinking maybe the ACC doesn't have a choice if the networks wouldn't go along but the B1G would seem to have more leverage/flexibility.

Texas muddying the waters at B12 meetings. Unrealistic expansion candidates.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 6h6 hours ago
No vote will take place at these meetings for expansion. Too many interims. Baylor sent interim AD

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 6h6 hours ago
Data clearly shows value added by expanding even without an immediate network.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 6h6 hours ago

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 1h1 hour ago

@MH ver3 @flugempire That makes more sense to me; especially with all of the interims.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 43m43 minutes ago
Got this tidbit just now: the only G5 that UT supports as an addition is Houston.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 42m42 minutes ago
TCU and Tech support that addition as well but the other 7 do not. Houston wasn't even included in the surveys and fact findings.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 40m40 minutes ago
@BriUConn the presentations may be tomorrow but each school has had access to the data since last week. UT is trying to blow this up.

Brian A ‏@BriUConn 38m38 minutes ago
@MH ver3 Fine UT wants to blow it up, but a blow does nothing for TCU or Tech. It actually hurts them.Doesn't make sense.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 39m39 minutes ago
UT cares more about talking ACC scheduling alliance and joint network venture than expansion.

Brian A ‏@BriUConn 40m40 minutes ago
@MH ver3 NO WAY would 3 texas schools want Houston,it doesn't help them in anyway possible.No help for TV/Network.Hurts recruiting effort too

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 39m39 minutes ago
@BriUConn UT obviously doesn't care about a network an a TCU and TT are tail wagging lap dogs at this point.

Brian A ‏@BriUConn 37m37 minutes ago

@MH ver3 What changed?

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 16m16 minutes ago
@UHCougar07 the others want a network and adding a school in a state we already have heavy saturation isn't going to cut it

Ben J Smith ‏@benchillin05 9m9 minutes ago
@MH ver3 @UHCougar07 THATS right..the 6 million in greater Houston area are so pumped to pay for a network to see Iowa St play Uconn..SMH

UHCougar07 ‏@UHCougar07 10m10 minutes agoBrenham, TX
@MH ver3 Thought network didn't work without UT. UT has LHN. Expansion still adds value as was reported. Also UH 1 of 2who add to POff chance

[SubbaBub]

I would say this regarding Texas not wanting G5 schools. They are not completely wrong. There is a spot for one more mega conference aside from the SEC/B1G, with the P12 covering the Pacific time zone.

If Texas could convince the 11 best schools in the ACC/B12 to dump their current affiliation and move to a brand new conference, it could rival the other two. There are a fee problems with this idea, but it you have enough money you could do it.

Problem one: You'd need a rights deal in your back pocket and the people giving out the deals already own everything in a different configuration.

Problem two: You'd need enough schools to dissolve either league and then poach the remain schools from the other. As much as we like to think CR is and easy as moving chess pieces, it doesn't work that way and achieving that kind of critical mass is darn near impossible.

The six ACC schools poachable by the current B12 are FSU, UNC, Clemson, VT, Louisville, and Miami. Add them to TX, OU, OSU, KS and you have 10 fairly strong brands in a 16 team league.

The balance of GT, VA, Duke, Wake, NCST, Pitt, Cuse, BC falls to AAC level even if they add Cincy, UConn, UCF, Houston, USF, and Memphis.

If you're TX, why not give it a go, even if you can't pry away UNC. Getting FSU and Clemson on board may start the merry go round and free up a couple other pieces, so long as you are willing to give up the ESPN check for the LHN.

Fox might be dumb enough to pay 40M per team for a B12 + FSU, Clem, +2.

Just typical Dude nonsense, trying to create another false narrative so that if any of his drivel does actually happen, he can claim he knew about it in advance. Yet somehow, even though he's predicted every possibility under the sun, his predictions are still never right.

The thing I like about this particular Dude tweet is that it creates hysteria around Baylor.

There was all sorts of talk a few years ago about kicking PSU out of the B12. It was real.

If there's similar talk about Baylor now, does Baylor go against the wishes of the 7? Or of Texas? Who protects Baylor's future? Texas? Or the 7?

wethyhusky ‏@desrochers_ben 48m48 minutes ago @ theDudeofWV you keep changing your story. Hard to be wrong when you have both sides.

In the Doodler's straightjacket-wearing, insane asylum defense, his rubber-walled world's an octagon.
