The Dud of WV would make a great weatherman. "Today's high will be between 40 and 90 degrees with a 50% chance of precipitation."
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
In all seriousness... I communicated via email with BYU last night trying to confirm the vote and pending offer.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
While the email conversation was OTR I can say I felt confident in going public with my belief that BYU has an offer pending a vote.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
Officially my contact at BYU referred me to AD Holmoe. Unofficially my contact refused to deny the vote was to take place.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
The contact at BYU was the 3rd source that indicated BYU was up for a vote.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
It corroborate nearly identical reports from sources at WVU and the Big 12.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
Three independent sources are enough for me.
Calvin Wells @CalGTR · 5h5 hours ago
@theDudeofWV BYU AD's office isn't saying word one these days. Nobody in any position of leadership is saying anything.
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV
@CalGTR I had specifics.
Steve Nelson @englishnelson · 3h3 hours ago
@theDudeofWV Forgive me if I missed the mention earlier. But any inkling of who the second expansion school would be?
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV
@englishnelson Assume UC, UCONN, UCF or CSU. Unless we are in for a surprise.
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV
@That_Y_Lyfe @ParkerRob78 @espn960sports The network didn't happen but two other factors came into play.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
@That_Y_Lyfe @ParkerRob78 @espn960sports The Big 12 has a 15% greater chance of making the playoffs with 2 divisions and 12 teams.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
@That_Y_Lyfe @ParkerRob78 @espn960sports ESPN/Fox are open to reworking the TV contract to add money to eliminate the pro rata increase.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
@That_Y_Lyfe @ParkerRob78 @espn960sports That gets them off the hook for $1B if the B12 expanded to 14.
Jay @uconn24_7 · 3h3 hours ago
@theDudeofWV @That_Y_Lyfe @ParkerRob78 so how do they get around the billion extra?
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV
@uconn24_7 @That_Y_Lyfe @ParkerRob78 They give the B12 more money for expanding to 12 and eliminate the pro rata clause.
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV
@That_Y_Lyfe @uconn24_7 @ParkerRob78 ESPN/Fox didn't want to pay the Big 12 $120M a year for adding 4 G5 schools.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
@That_Y_Lyfe @ParkerRob78 @espn960sports Finally the Big 12 is worried about Baylor.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
@That_Y_Lyfe @ParkerRob78 @espn960sports Those factors may have motivated the Big 12 to reconsider expansion.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
@StudioBPR At this point I just want it over. UC is the safe bet but CSU may be the pick.

MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Sorry I have been so quiet. I have been mostly out of the loop for the better part of the past month between moving and the flood
H ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
However I do have an update and it's not great news.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
OU and UT are now both standing pat on the no expansion with G5 platform.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
There is more going on than meets the eye.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
ESPN is going the cheap way out on ACCN and FSU and others are livid.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Also pac12 is grasping at straws to increase revenue and there are unhappy schools there as well
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
So sadly it seems expansion is going to be again put on hold possibly until GORs start coming close to an end.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
But all hope is not lost for a few G5s.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Fox and ESPN are telling B12 they will rework contracts if B12 only takes 2 G5.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Will give them more money than pro rata but new contracts would have pro rata clause removed.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
I think it's a bad move though because that pro rata clause is too good a bargaining chip.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
So my source puts expansion this summer with G5 schools now at less than 25%.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
I personally hope he's wrong and at rooting for UC, BYU, and Uconn.
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Things can always turn on a dime and have in the past but don't hold your breath for an announcement this month.
Jacob Fechter @JWFUtah 3h3 hours ago
@MH ver3 so next week's meeting is just a party?
MH ver3 @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
@JWFUtah no it will be discussed but I'm being told the support is just not there.

Anyone else laughing at The Dude's assertion because a BYU 'source' would refuse an official or unofficial denial to a West Virginia twitterer/blogger, that it should be constitution as a verifiable independent source that BYU is voting on a change in conference affiliation.
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you.

@ezrambc If the B12 expands it does so for two reasons. Primarily to improve playoff chances is one reason.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc The other reason is security especially in light of what's happening at Baylor.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc The B12 TV contract is void if the conf has less than 10 members.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc the 3rd reason is the TV contract with ESPN/Fox. The contract has a pro rata clause that concerns the networks.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc It says that ESPN/Fox will add $ = to the average payout. That's $30M right now & it goes up.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc If the Big 12 would expand to 14 ESPN/Fox would be forced to add $120m per year at the minimum.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc So the B12 is currently renegotiating that contract to add money in exchange for eliminating the pro rata clause.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc Which schools available doesn't dilute B12 quality and adds the most value. It's easy. It's BYU.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc ESPN pays BYU between $600k and $1.2M for each home game. Way below B12 value but much higher than AAC schools.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc But I'm not just using logic. A source told me BYU would likely come to a vote.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc I contacted BYU directly with what I had & the dialog I had with BYU was enough for me to go public.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc BYU never denied they were up for a vote.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc I had a dialog with someone at BYU OTR.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@ezrambc I'll add this. We know BYU is acceptable to Texas. Why? Because Texas had a home-&-home with BYU.

The combination of idiocy and delusion on display in both The Dood and Mh3's Tweets is astounding. These two are like the Woodward and Bernstein of hillbilly internet journalists. All we need now is for Tuxedo Yoda to corroborate this BYU "Source" that they both so freely converse with, and we'll know that expansion in on like Donkey Kong.
Does anyone else find it creepy how obsessed The Dood is with WVU's Conference payouts? Its like his entire self worth is wrapped up in what WVU's AD earns in any given season. Maybe Kyle can remind him that Northwestern and Purdue still make dump trucks full of cash more than The Neers, and none of his wildest realignment fantasies will ever change that.

We have a home and home with Mizzou, BC, UVA, Cuse, Indiana, Illinois. Forget the Big12 there's about to be a bidding war between the SEC, ACC, and B1G!

Forget that. It's just sad to see how this guy views himself.
It's like the email he posted yesterday to the ESPN radio affiliate where he complained about being made fun of, then challenged them to cite him as a source regarding BYU as long as ESPN promised to either confirm or deny his information in research. So in other words, he wanted them to give him credit, then find out if what he was saying was true after they cited him in an on-air report.
What a desperate attention whore.

@PostJimmer @Kevin4byu @MattSBN BYU was my attempt at 3rd confirmation. Not a fishing expedition or even a 2nd confirmation. A 3rd.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 22m22 minutes ago
I regret mentioning BYU. Not because I doubt what I wrote but because of the complete lack of those who cover BYU to consider I'm right.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 20m20 minutes ago
@JaredtheCougrFn I gave Vanquish the Foe some info and offered them more? Have I heard back from them? Nope.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 19m19 minutes ago
@JaredtheCougrFn No excuse for the people who cover BYU. They should disinterested.

Here is the story about this BYU thing.
1: A random BYU fan on a chat room on a BYU message board said two days ago that BYU has an invite to the B12. Other BYU fans ran with it on the message board.
2: Dude of WV read the message board post and ran with it acting like BYU is heading to the B12 - all official confirmed, blah blah.
3: Two days later (today) the dude ov WV is starting to realize he could be wrong and is starting to get emotional over it. Now he is busy making up fake emails and attacking BYU people because they won't talk to him.
The real reality is that the B12 has a yes or no vote if they expand or not next week and have their usual press conference after the meetings. The dude of wv is praying that BYU becomes a member.
Dude of WV is afraid of Texas and Oklahoma leaving the B12.
