@jay_256 You need to accept the fact that expassion without a network kills the Big 12. It doesn't help it.

@jay_256 You need to accept the fact that Texas has 3 votes in its pocket - enough to block expansion.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@jay_256 And that KSU has an interim prez who doesn't want to cast KSU's vote on such an important matter.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@jay_256 Or that the last thing Ken Starr wants to think about now is expansion.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@jay_256 So that's 3 votes against & 1 abstention. At the very best that's only 6 yes votes & that's 2 short.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@jay_256 Because each & every B12 president understands that expansion without a revenue increase means the B12 is dead in 2024.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@jay_256 The B12 isn't saying no to Memphis, UCONN, CSU, BYU or UC. It's saying no to expansion.

So far every Big 12 source I have - conf & schools - who has responded says the Big 12's upcoming inaction is due to a lack of consensus.

Peterson: Slam the brakes on Big 12 expansion talk

The B12 is already managing expectations prior to meetings by quietly telling everybody nothing is happening.

"The B12 couldn't decide which hand it would use to wipe its ass." - someone I know who knows.
 
This might be the Dude's broken clock moment. It would be shocking to me at least to see any valuable school in the Big 12 or ACC sign anything that extends their GOR unless they were guaranteed at least 80% of what the Big Ten and SEC are making - and it seems pretty impossible that anyone is going to pay that much for either league.

It is your fault I actually read the Dude's ramblings. They are nonsense or regurgitations of other news stories.

The Des Moines article was interesting. It does appear that momentum is slowing on expansion, and this likely means the Big 12 will not expand.

UConn needs to solve its own revenue problem, or not. There is no white knight.

Once you realize that Oklahoma was making so much noise because they have no options it all makes a lot more sense.

I bet they have had a good laugh in Austin after they put Boren in charge.
 
The 12 isn't wrong to wait a month to see if the ACC GOR can be cracked. The problem is that if either the B1G or SEC want two or more of these ACC schools, then the B12 isn't getting them.

Good news for the B12 is that FSU and Clemson as their main targets are not likely the first choices for either league.

Let's assume VT and UNC to the SEC and VA and GT to the B1G.

That leaves an ACC of
BC
Cuse
PITT
DUKE
NCST
Wake
Louisville
Miami

They would add
UConn
Cincinnati
Directional Florida?
Houston?

Would that be enough to maintain their current TV deal? It's a clear 5th place, no playoff for you league and ND isn't joining it.
