Non-Key Tweets

Looks like a banner

Agreed but exit 4 called it wrapping paper.

And FWIW Red Dirt Sports, an Oklahoma blog, just tweeted out a pic of this banner, too. Claims it was emailed to him and the pic is making its way around Cincy snaps. Since he didn't see it first-hand I'm skeptical.

Best case scenario is BYU and Cinci are already in and today is about adding two more. Basketball is screwed if Cinci is gone

I'll play... Actually looks like backdrop panel(s) for press conference but font is a tad small and no "sponsor" info.

Well, who knows if it's true or not but it certainly doesn't make me feel good.

I can't imagine though, through everything that the schools have been through the President of Cincinnati would risk letting the news slip out via some kid working in a print room.

At least that's what I'm telling myself.

Newspapers from Houston, Cincinnati, Colorado expected to be here in DFW Airport. Schools didn't send reps, I'm told.

Cincy Enquirer reporter:

Source: UC does NOT have a representative here in Dallas. (Not to worry. I don't believe any of the candidates do.)

If it's the day of an announcement it doesn't really matter all that much. It's what a few hours before the press conference?

No it doesn't. At best, it's a step and repeat sign.

You would think they'd have large banners with large logos on it.

Not sure how the President would be able to stop a kid with a cell phone from taking a picture. Even if it were made off campus by some private company, they need a banner made if they're accepted. Someone, somewhere would have to make it and could potentially snap a pic.

Well, if it is true… #prayfor4.

So who wants me to print one up for UConn, I have access to a plotter here at work.....

Maybe throw an ACC logo on there. B-12 motivation

Mh ver 3 is saying it's BYU and Cincy. FWIW.

Wow. I can't believe he was wrong!

Of the Twitterati, he was most correct and changed his tune the least:

he hasn't deleted his Tweet yet,

BYU and UC welcome to the Big12. Still trying to get verification on all sports or FB only.

It's possible in the alternate universe in which he resides that they did get invited in. Most plausible explanation.

@flugempire In exchange for new GOR extension, can these schools exit early?

This is something OU Contacts discussed last week..will again.
They call it "Relief Plan"

If those schools left, the GOR wouldn't be "extended". The deals with the networks would be completely restructured in a very bad way for the remaining B12.

So assuming the dude, flug and mh all nailed these developments?

I figured someone would pat him on the back during his victory lap.

He got nothing right until now when it was obvious this was the outcome.

I think he was pretty plugged into what Oklahoma was thinking. I think if BYU did not have their candidacy torpedoed by their issues, the "Four To Get Two" thing was the most likely scenario, or at least the one Oklahoma wanted/was lobbying for. That fell apart and no other package could get 8 votes.

Why do you believe that? They have literally gotten nothing right until the obvious play that the Big 12 wasn't going to expand - which Boren all but said over a month ago.

I took a ton of crap immediately after the ACC annoucement for saying they weren't going to expand because it would damage them in the future with their TV partners. I should have said I had sources...
