I can't keep up... Dood said B12 won't expand, said B12 will expend, said B12 happy at 10 and not looking, and said B12 is the hunter not the hunted.... Do I have that straight?

The only part of that I believe is "nothing on deck anytime soon"

That way he can always point to a comment that's right. I believe that's called "nelsonmuntzing".

 

[CL82]

If only we knew the Dood's source...

 

[Sea Goat]

yes - and also that he is not playing with a full deck anytime soon or ever.

WV AD - "Has to be the right partner..."

The Dude - "I know who it is!! But I won't say."

WV AD - "We play a true round robin."

The Dude - "Chill out, everyone. I need to play this angle, too."

He is certifiable.

@_KyleJacobson there may or may not be a group of B12 presidents considering expansion formerly.


People, the Dude is working a classic bootstrap paradox. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_paradox

If he is successful, this is some scary . We might be joining the Big 12 as founding member and also voting not to let ourselves in.

@URClassless I would love to see BYU in the B12. I once thought it would happen. Not now due to need to go east.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 17h17 hours ago
@SeanboSengo My opinion is that if the ACCN isn’t up & running by 2017 that both FSU & CU are members of the Big 12.

‏@theDudeofWV @SeanboSengo That’s why ESPN must pull the trigger & quickly.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@Expansion_Crush @SeanboSengo ESPN will save the ACC from losing FSU. They must.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 50m50 minutes ago
@geoffmitchell @Expansion_Crush @SeanboSengo If ESPN green lights ACCN-& they must-movement is done.

 

[Fishy]

Two things that have zero chance of happening in 2017:

1) An ACC Network.

2) Florida State and Clemson moving to the Big 12.

Just wait until SECN has full year

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago
MIzzouri-Nebraska-Texas A&M all better off for leaving the Big 12. Oklahoma is watching.
SEC=$455 mil (14 schools)
B12=$250+mil (10 schools)

RT:"@Andy_Staples: That SEC haul is after only 9+ months of the network and minus a host of one-time startup costs. So next year?

Yep

Some people are finally catching on...finally. Bundling live content (3rd tier) and selling it as you market and brand your Conf is the way.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago
B12 writers and bloggers are finally catching on to the monster of the SECN. And how LHN does nothing for the B12 but eventually weaken

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago
Finally the numbers are showing what I've been telling you all...the dudes words can't explain this away anymore, B12 and ACC need network

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago
You all don't think Oklahoma is not looking at the off ramps 7-8-9 years from now? Look at the SECN numbers in exposure and money. Look.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago
These Conf Net are only growing in power to set leverage for its schools during negotiations. Branding its Conf in most concentrated form.

Made up talk on Twitter of a Big 12 working on a Conference Network (sunshine pumping) will commence in....7..6..5...4..3..2..

Means UConn isn't going anywhere in the short term.

Means UConn isn't going anywhere in the short term.

As far as the other AAC presidents are aware.

Weren't BC & Pitt chairs of the Big East when they moved on?

Fast-forward to June 30 11:59 pm: Tuxedo says announcement will be June 2016 instead

 

[CallMeBruce]

Seems hinky to me that BYU would be football only. Their basketball team is usually pretty good.

Has anyone here ever met Tyler Durden, in persons?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that BYU can't play on Sunday due to religious reasons. Seems like that would be a pretty big issue scheduling wise for all other sports

 

[CallMeBruce]

I suppose. I'd be willing to accommodate that silliness if it got them on our schedule, personally.

 

[SubbaBub]

FB keeps all the BYU parochial scheduling issues out of the B12. It also allows the BYU network to continue in some form.

Not exactly buying it, but I would if it's being sold. Anything that gets schools moving again helps.

If a call from the B12 comes on June 30th, I would expect calls from B10, ACC, on the 29th. Unless their is a collision handshake that the P5 schools are staying put. FIFA has nothing on the FB power structure.

 

[Husky25]

BYU is in the West Coast Conference for all other sports and they are accommodated. I could see a potential issue in basketball because the Big XII Championship game is played on Selection Sunday, but there is nothing preventing the tournament from starting one day earlier, IMO.
