No amount of back and forth changes the outcome. Tuesday will afternoon we find out.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
I have nothing more to add. Best everybody wait until Tuesday.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
I will add however that the B12 board of directors is meeting about expansion. Bowlsby has said it publicly.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
Many are assuming that vote to expand will be no. Mostly because reportedly they can't agree on #12.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
Others claim the TV contract is the reason. The loss of the nine conference games specifically.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
But if the B12 has a pro rata clause in the contract it means expansion is accounted for in the contract.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
There's also an easy solution: sell back the 1 T3 football game each B12 member gets.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
My point is that every item used to explain why the B12 will vote no to expand s easily solved.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
What's not easily solved is the perception that a B12 CCG with 10 is a liability.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Also I have no ill will towards anyone associated with BYU or BYU fans. I understand their angst.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
One more thing. Expansion in terms of the relationship between the school & the conf includes deniability.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Deniability that allows both to avoid embarrassment.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
So they deny. But explain to me why the board is meeting in Dallas, on media day, at a separate location, with a presser scheduled.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
What are they meeting about other than expansion? What's on the agenda? Why is a in-person meeting necessary?
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Why do they need a quorum?
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
They would need a quorum to ratify a revised TV deal, censure Baylor and for expansion.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Bowlsby said last week they were meeting to decide about expansion at the only time/place they could all gather.
