This is incoherent babble. For one, anyone with google could see nobody is getting a new TV network. Secondly - expanding today doesn't not change the calculus for the Big 12 in 2025.
Nobody they can expand with is going anywhere and nobody they can expand with makes it any more likely the league stays together in 2025.
So you can go with a measured analysis of the scenario or you can go with people on Twitter talking out of their arses. I get the Twitter people are saying what you want to hear - but think about that proposition. People in athletic departments are leaking information to people with a few thousand followers on Twitter. Even if they were legitimate people - why would they feed them anything valuable? Why not risk your job over sharing information with someone who posts it on Twitter?
Maybe the.best boneyard move is claiming that 'inside' information that proves incorrect was still 'inside' information. If you claim something is going to happen based
on inside information and it does not happen - by definition this was not inside information. It was BS speculation.
Sorry I disagree ,any skepic knew that Flug couldn't possibly know what many of the conference presidents didn't know. Your the one one making the assumption that we gullible idiots bought into a Twitter prediction. I don't think is was taken as anything other than a rare positive non key tweet swimming in a sea of negative tweets.
To dismiss all information from that source is very short sighted
His prediction was the two best candidates were UConn and UCinn.
I believe it was at a time when UConn wasn't being talked about. So he apparently had some inside knowledge.
If the B12 bothered to evaluate 7 teams as likely candidates , a less knowledgeable person than yourself might take expansion as a logical eventuality. The fact that UConn and UCinn faired very well in that evaluation might lead one engaged in speculation to make that prediction. That is a prediction based on on those facts with the assumption that expansion was a given.
This prediction is at least grounded in some fact.
As a manager if a person provided you with two facts and then proceeded to make an incorrect assumption based in those facts . I wouldn't so much question their sources as their judgement.
To be fair you have been known to speculate on the gullibility of posters that you really have zero idea if they are doing anything other than playing the game. Or are your just engaging in your BY contrayian persona. Either way it's not that important.Speculation drives this board. Contrarianism gives that speculation balance.
PS
That first post was not related to the second and was a classic Sarcasm post. I think you would have enjoyed . I'm now sorry I deleted it as reading the first line takes the post out if context. I'm sorry if I offended you.
