All the focus is the Big 12 when the real smoke is coming from the ACC. Can't you guys hear the war drums?

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 26m26 minutes ago
The frustrating part for me is this...

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 25m25 minutes ago
So much conjecture based on Boren's comments but what has really changed?

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 25m25 minutes ago
I tell you what... it was a foregone conclusion that the Big 12 was only secure until the GoR expired. Everybody on the planet knew that.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 25m25 minutes ago
But all this talk about OU leaving doesn't take into account the reality of modern college football... its a business.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 18m18 minutes ago
It's all about risk versus reward. It's about the instability in the market futures due to the O'bannon law suit.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 17m17 minutes ago
Expansion really doesn't pay off unless a conf. network is concerned. Look at the ACC. They added 2 schools that did what to the bottom line

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 17m17 minutes ago
Even the mighty SEC had CBS push back when they added TAMU and Mizzou.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 15m15 minutes ago
My point is that endless expansion reaches a point where its not profitable and it muddies the scheduling waters.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 14m14 minutes ago
Right now with the Big 12 GoR and the need to find an eastern school to balance out the conference it's too much risk.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11m11 minutes ago
The SEC and B1G both covet the same thing. Nielsen's 24th & 25th DMAs.

JA ‏@JeremyAnthony · 17m17 minutes ago
@theDudeofWV the talk of OU leaving stems from personal feelings. OU feels like they deserve better. Unfortunately, may have missed the boat

Christopher Lambert
‏@theDudeofWV @JeremyAnthony I'm not sure OU feels that way. The Big 12 needs to expand. They need a conference network.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 12m12 minutes ago
@JeremyAnthony Boren just told UT in no uncertain terms that the LHN jeopardizes the future of the Big 12.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 7m7 minutes ago
Big 12 fans should appreciate what they have. A football conference full of down to earth fans who not going to kill your trees.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5m5 minutes ago
In the past few days I've been accused of pandering to the WV fans. That's not true. WV folk are a pragmatic lot.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5m5 minutes ago
WV fans expect the worst. I would never let my love for my home state & WVU keep me from telling the truth.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3m3 minutes ago
So I'm telling you this out of tough love. Don't listen to the rumors of OU leaving or the Big 12 expanding.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2m2 minutes ago
It's only chatter. But the Big 12 must make some changes to survive. They must convince UT to give up LHN.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2m2 minutes ago
It that takes OU or a school like WVU to threaten the Big 12 and wake Texas up then I wish Boren well.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2m2 minutes ago
But the truth is that in an environment where the B1G picks new members almost exclusively on market size (cont)

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1m1 minute ago
even a prestige program like OU isn't worth the risk of the Big 12 GoR.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1m1 minute ago
Texas gave up a lot to save the Big 12. They will have to give up LHN to save it beyond 2025.
 
Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
Lots and lots of behind the scenes info today. Some repeat occurrences. Some new. Some obvious. Others not.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
While the B1G is ready to give up on Mizzou, they haven't given up on Vandy. Vandy decision makers not interested but some in the org are.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
BIG contacted Vandy again last week to gauge any change. Behind the scenes the SEC has all but said "go ahead, don't let the door hit you.."

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
B1G has more options than any other conference. All will be voted on eventually and expect calls to heat up as TV negotiations near.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
B1G will add for next TV deal.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
B1G has contacted many many schools and some haven't been contacted but are being vetted intensely.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
OU, KU, UT, Vandy, ND, GT, UNC, Duke, UVA have all been contacted. None are even close to a lock. Many scenarios.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
Also being considered by B1G due to market addition: Buffalo, UCONN, Pitt

Troy Adams‏@troybadams 10h10 hours ago
@PromiscuousJawa I was with until this tweet. Not buying this. Buffalo? Really?

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 10h10 hours ago
@troybadams yes. Really. The State University of NY or New York State. They've been laying the groundwork.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 10h10 hours ago
@troybadams lot of TV sets in New York.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 10h10 hours ago
@troybadams lot of rich Buffalo alumnus.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 9h9 hours ago
@troybadams b1g is all about TV sets. It isn't athletics success driven. See Rutgers. Maryland.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
SEC working on expansion to add 2 but not in hurry and will wait until right time. OU, KU, KSU, OKSt, UNC, VaTech, NcSt,are all candidates.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
If SEC adds it will be solely to increase geographic footprint. If ACC / B12 schools remain unavailable they will add programs to grow.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
SEC rules fandom in every state they have teams in with exception of Texas and that will change over time.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 14h14 hours ago
The only way the B12 can survive is to beat the ACC to 16. The first to 16 wins in the SuperConference game.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa 9h9 hours ago
Being told that some reps from the B12 met with Cincy reps in Cleveland this past week to avoid being immediately seen. Still getting info

If Fla. St. goes anywhere, it will be the B10 for obviou$ reasons. I'm sure it would be difficult to not partner with Wv, but they will get thru it. At the rate the dud is going, he will either get wv booted out of the big 12, or cause the conference to disband. He does realize they have been an also ran their entire time in the b12?

If FSU has it's heart's desire filled, it would be in the SEC; but, that is likely not to happen due to the folks in Gainesville and SEC politics. Thus, SFU will be in the ACC assuming that the XII and not the ACC folds when the P4 emerge. If the ACC folds, then I agree that the B1G will go to 20 and add UVA, UNC, G Tech and FSU plus 2 from a pile (ND, Duke, Miami, UConn, VT).

UT, OU & WVU are committed to the conference long term.

Seriously, this might be the most unintentionally hilarious thing he's ever posted. Anyone notice this tweet? He's basically implying West Virginia is a cornerstone of the league. Putting him in the same stanza as Texas and Oklahoma is brutal comedy.
Expand ...

I would say everyone in the XII that is not Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas are committed to the XII long-term because without the XII, the 7 other schools are in trouble, including WVU.
 
Can we officially ban WV twitter talk going forward? He's not plugged into anything - just a WV super fan with a lot more time to scour the web. If the Boneyard didn't watch him, not sure he'd have any followers.

I can't wait until WVU starts threatening The Big 12.

WVU- Expand or were leaving.

Big 12- That's cool. We hear Conference USA is looking for new members.

Marshall would never allow it. Most likely Sun Belt Bound.

Do you think the contiguous state requirement of the CIC is real?

The existence of a NYC B1G office now makes Connecticut contiguous to B1G territory.

Take a look at the title of this thread.

This thread has nothing to do with CR news; this is a place for the often humorous observation of delusional attention seeking misanthropes.

He's not even humorous anymore. It's beyond pathetic. When someone posts his tweets I scroll through it without reading it. It's like making a schizophrenic your go to guy for current events.

A thirsty man will drink from a muddy hoof print. The lack of readily available public information is what gives these guys a following.

Yes :Upstater

Upstater is tweeting now? I thought we were talking about HFD...he also had/has a thing for SUNY Buffalo. I think we should all open Twitter accounts and put out random with a ridiculously pro-UConn vibe. Something akin to "UConn turned down the SEC and ACC and is waiting for Notre Dame to join the B1G, otherwise it's completely content to stay in the AAC".
 
PJ has done the unthinkable. His posts are more worthless than the Dood.

To sum up, every team in the world is being vetted by the B1G, some so secretly that not even the subject schools themselves are aware of it.

Agreed, although the Boneyard itself is a big enough time sponge for me.

I don't remember HFD's love of Buffalo ,but he had so many. differentb scenarios who could keep track.
On second thought it's hard to imagine those Tweets being penned by Upstater unless the errors were intentional.

I'm actually a Buffalo grad that has been living in CT for over a decade. Grew up a Syracuse fan - but had to change my rooting interest when life brought me here. SUNY Buffalo is dreaming big - but they are 30 years too late to the show in my opinion.
 
I don't think Buffalo is a prime candidate, but with some rebranding and real public support, I could see them becoming quite valuable. I mean, end of the day, if you're the flagship for the state of New York, that has a lot of value. Of course, that only matters if it actually happens, and even then, who knows if anyone will care enough to bring them into a real league, without which it doesn't much matter.

I know were not posting his tweets anymore but the dude of WV flat out lost it tonight when he heard the Chuck Long comments about Texas having real interest in the B10
