@Jeffery_Cobb However I'm told that ESPN/Fox are not pleased the Big 12 is considering 14.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@Jeffery_Cobb I believe the possibility grows every day that ESPN/Fox will pay to limit the Big 12 to adding 2.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@Jeffery_Cobb UCONN / Memphis / CSU. I hear those 3 for 14. CSU remains my dark horse.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@Jeffery_Cobb Not sure if it's true but I was told CSU dominates their market. Not so of the others.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
My opinion only. ESPN/Fox will pay to limit Big 12 expansion to 12. Keeps the door open to add P12 schools in 2024.

Zach Hedges ‏@zthedges · 2h2 hours ago
@theDudeofWV Why not go to 14 now and go to 16 if P5 schools become available?

@zthedges I've wondered the same myself.

If the Big 12 does limit expansion to 12 UC looks to be the odd school out. Assuming Texas really wants UH in the B12 & is willing to deal

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Industry sources tell me that ESPN/Fox could live with BYU & UH/UC added to the Big 12.

I wonder if he has an ounce of self-awareness when he puts this out for the world to see? He covered every possible outcome in just 8 tweets.

 

[Slasher]

Why is the dude still getting posted? He knows nothing. The Big 12 is not going to expand by only 2 and include Houston. That's about as dumb as it gets.

with the full realization that 99.99% of random twitter people who claim to have an inside source, do not have an inside source:

• Flug had Cincy/UConn as his 2 predicted additions wayyy before the Big 12 media was treating us like a real possibility
• Flug was the first one I saw to put together the Cincy/UConn/BYU/UH list. Writers or otherwise.
• Flug was the first to talk about "horse trading" votes, and said that it would lead ultimately to a 4-team addition. Now mostly everyone seems to agree on that, and a 4-team addition seems likely.
• He was also the first to say that candidates would be presenting to the Big 12 on an accelerated timeline, over the next few weeks. We don't know if that's actually happened, but there's rumor now that BYU and Cincy have already made their pitch.

Maybe he doesn't really have a source, I don't know. But if he doesn't he's gotten pretty lucky with his predictions lately.

Well.. none of those are actually true, though, right? Yet? More mainstream media could just be parroting him/fringe media, and those things might all be way off base.

Dammit that might be the best avatar ever.... his eyes burn into your soul if you stare too long!

This reminds of these tweets, for some reason:

Obviously questionable common sense and good judgement with her

My wife is a Tulane grad. She had an academic scholarship.

Where did that guy get my picture from?

 

[MattMang23]

He's right. UHart dominates Hartford.

The person in the picture has asthma and has lost 40% of his lung capacity in just fourteen months. Have some respect.

Easy fix. Change your picture. Please.

 

[Briuconn]

I love it, I cannot stop laughing.

Does he conjure up such negative emotions that you can't bear the sight of his face?

At the risk of making a Nelsonmuntzian post, if the AAC somehow gets stripped of 3 teams not named UConn, I do think that UConn might consider a radical move of some sort. I just can't figure out what it would be. Big East for All Sports? Sun Belt for football only? CUSA? MAC?

If you look at AAC without Cincy, Houston and Memphis, it is absurd in bball. Might as well be in the Patriot League. In football it will still be better than CUSA and the MAC, but the BE beckons at that point.

Will be interesting if something like this ever comes to pass because Fox would then pick up the UConn women. They are a draw nationally.

On the other hand, Memphis will not be selected. Remember, this school was horrid in football until recently. Few fans.

If UConn is excluded, its over. Joining the Big East and dropping football is the best case scenario.

We'd stay at least as long as the exit fee money lasted. Try to dominate the league in basketball and football, and pray for an ACC invite before we'd move back to the Big East

Absolutely I'm super anti radical stuff but if Memphis Cincy Houston leave there is no reason for us to hang.

Not necessarily dropping but something clever.

4 days more. #byu #big12

BYU & UTAH‏@BYUandUTAH 44m44 minutes ago
Update: #big12 has been talking with #unlv as well. Apparently impressed with market there and recent talks of building new football stadium

BYU & UTAH‏@BYUandUTAH 19m19 minutes ago
Las Vegas is trying to build 65,000 seat stadium on the strip for the Raiders to move there. Would be new home for #unlv as well.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Another crap school with crap teams. Cool cool

 

[whaler11]

If 3 other AAC teams leave UConn would have enough leverage to be a football only in the AAC - because Navy would be gone as well.

Why do tweeters say crazy stuff like "UNLV to the Big 12" just as they are starting to build credibility?

Was told Big 12 announcement day is Tuesday August 16. Will be 4 or 6 teams added.

Who knows but figured I'd post it.

This is gonna be like a "predict the date and time the baby is born" game for all these Twitter insiders. Anything before Sep. 1 is a reasonable guess.
