The new rumors making the rounds about an impending B1G raid of the Big 12 are utterly & completely false.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago
The Big 12 has a GOR. The B1G amendment to require divisions for having a CCG was to keep the Big 12 from having a distinct advantage.

The B1G amendment is not intended as a spark to entice OU to leave. Think! If OU were to leave the B12 they would land in a conf with div

@theDudeofWV amendment is to damage the ACC. B10 doesn't care about B12
Christopher Lambert
@theDudeofWV @NebGradDubDub I agree with that partly Doug. If they expand again they want ACC schools.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago
Neither is it a mechanism to force B12 expansion. OU and Boren are the leading proponents for Big 12 expansion.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago
The amendment's sole purpose is to keep the B12 from cherry picking teams for its CCG.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago
There is nothing stoping the Big 12 from having 2 divs of 5 each should they not expand.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago
Delaney went to great lengths to explain the rationale of the amendment. He pointed out he believes the B12 should not be forced to expand.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
This is a fact. So own it... Many B1G leaders are on record including Delaney: AAU status is required for the B1G.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
OU is not AAU.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
Until OU is a member of the AAU you know straightaway that any rumor you hear about the Sooners & B1G is false.

One more issue. Recently I learned my lesson about political interference & conf membership.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
The Big 12 is a conf of pairs: KU/KSU, OU/OSU, UT/TT. Think of the 2nd school as an anchor to the B12.

@bking23 Political ties to act as an anchor to keep the larger school in the Big 12.

By the way there is virtually no chance that the B1G amendment passes. I think it's fair & should be passed myself.
