It helps if you say where you got this. If ESPN probably key tweet

Why would you say that?
This isn't news. The Big 12 was always going to wait until the Pac 12 media deal gets resolved. Hopefully soon.
I hate linking anything for ESPN clicks, but here ya go....

A source who participated in the Big 12 meetings this week told ESPN there were no votes on membership or expansion, but there were discussions about scenarios.

Correct. There is zero new information here.
Colorado (or any other current P-12 member) isn't doing anything until they know what the P-12 has to offer.
I still believe Gonzaga is a non-starter (if I'm wrong, the lower tier of the BE better worry). I don't see the B-12 starting a hybrid model but if they do look for three non-football BE schools to also receive offers.
Thanks I assumed it was the devilI hate linking anything for ESPN clicks, but here ya go....

Always trying to hold us back.
Well we know this is non key tweets but you probably know why. Since some these resent tweets and stories were getting to a fever pitch level as though COL and Uconn were imminent. Like the one a few posts above with Uconn accepting it's invite this morning and big news at 4PM , SMH !

Cliff notes of meetings: Colorado will rejoin the B12. Gonzaga is in for basketball. UConn is still in the air as there could maybe be an all sports invite coming if the right circumstances occur but may be a bball only. AZ has and AZSU problem.

Oh and B12 will be distributing over $50m per team average over the next few years including playoffs and ncaa money.

Also FOX agreed to prorata for any P5 additions and select G5 additions.

This guy really has no idea that our athletic department budget is already at the average of Big12 budgets and that is without elevated revenues that we'd start to be able to plow into football.

That’s because our coach gave up and stopped doing his job. Hurley is the guy and will flourish in the Big 12 or Big East

This guy is a donkey. UCONN already spends B12 money on athletics and has more national championships than most of the schools in the conference. Stop it.
No, they are dreaming of Arizona, ASU, Colorado and Utah before UCONN comes up........seriously, do you think that anyone from Texas and Oklahoma wants UCONN in the Big 12 before them?
Maybe, if only Colorado jumps, does UCONN become attractive as its pair.....but this is a difficult sell to football rabid fans who think UCONN has a lackluster football program with little history
I have been to a number of bedlam games.......when you get your teeth capped with UCONN you can join them.......because there were more than a few front teeth capped with OU.......they are rabid fans who think very little of eastern football
It is everything to them

Yes, they want 4 teams from 2 states. Not sure their TV partner would approve. And keep in mind that as part of the PAC, viewership was below par. So they would be doubling down on wrong with this plan. Just my opinion.

For the B-12 this is entirely about positioning for the future, if it requires some redundancy (two schools in the same states, Ut & Az) so be it.
The P-12 is either going to die a slow death or it will reinvent itself. If it reinvents itself, that will primarily be at the expense of the B-12, which is what the B-12 does not want to happen. Oregon and Washington are going to bide their time until the B1G is ready to add a few more schools. Cal and Stanford are going to hope they can remain at income and competition levels similar to what the current P-12 offers long enough to still be somewhat attractive if and when the B1G finishes adding schools (10-15 years out). I personally still see a reasonable chance that the SEC (when they decide to expand past 20, also 10-15 years out) will look seriously at Arizona & Arizona St.
I've felt all along that our best path at a B-12 offer would be if Colorado accepts and all other four corner P-12 schools decline. I also believe that the only chance we will have is if an odd number (one or three) of P-12 four corner schools say yes. If the B-12 can take any P-12 members this will be a blow to the P-12. If they take three or four, this may cripple the P-12 as if nothing else, it will allow the B1G to move more quickly on Washington and Oregon without fear of litigation or being labelled a conference killer.
I also will repeat (mentioned a few times in earlier posts) that nothing will happen until the P-12 finalizes their new contract terms. Nobody is leaving the P-12 prior to fully understanding what it is they are leaving. This doesn't mean that we will hear the P-12 contract announcement first, merely that all schools will be presented with the terms and and schools that may consider leaving will decide at that point.

Don’t disagree with that. The Big 12 isn’t the AAC.

And much more importantly, Hurley isn’t Ollie. In 2020 the year that got blown up by Covid, UConn was peaking at the right time and we wanted to see what that team could do in the postseason and that was in the AAC. Hurley can flat out coach and we know how good he is at recruiting

Not yet, but they're adding Cincinnati, UCF, and Houston, so they're well on their way.
