Unless the ACC takes a huge step up in the quality of its football product ACCN will struggle.

@HoneyRoyPalmer @GooseGyorko So the ACC increase revenue by $3-$5m. No big deal.

[Exit 4]

Will this news affect the Big 12's decision on expansion?

I think it means UConn and UT to the B1G in 2026 with OU to the SEC along with a TBD (Houston/Kansas/Memphis/whatever) from the cast of usual suspects. I don't see us loosing that B1G seat to Kansas.

 

[Jimdish255]

Will this news affect the Big 12's decision on expansion?

If the B12 was unaware of this it could certainly make them nervous about proceeding with a ten team structure. It just makes them look weak and indecisive. Could it prompt a shift towards Boren? New alliances?

[jlarson]

This is all so interesting the ESPN would leak news of its ACCn deal tonight on the eve of the B12 meeting. What could be the angle for ESPN?

There is a 1% chance the Big 12 didn't already know about the ACC Network. The Big 12 is talking to the networks about their own conference title game and they already talked to the networks about wanting to do a network and were told no. They obviously knew the ACC Network was coming. That is probably why they went public saying Big 12 expansion is dead. Everyone knows what is coming now that the B1G, ACC, SEC and Pac 12 have networks.

Brian Davis said that on the radio today. When he was talking about it the only conference he would talk about was the B1G. he was talking about it in a way where it came across as things already in the process of getting done. he was very specific in some of the reasons.

What ACC just got with ACCN/ESPN is what Boren was shooting for...
CCG+B12N+EXP (2 eastern markets (UC/UCONN)
FOX/ESPN said nope.

David Rooker ‏@dgrooker · 16m16 minutes ago
@flugempire The diff is the ACC had a contract (w/ a penalty to ESPN for no conf network) and the Big12 didn't. ESPN had to choose the ACC.

Greg Flugaur‏@flugempire
@dgrooker
Good point....
But let's face it...B12 is neither ESPN(SEC-ACC) or FOX's (B1G-PAC) 1st or 2nd favorite child.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 18m18 minutes ago
The question remains....what did OU & UT agree upon?
Expansion without extended GOR/B12N?
Would ESPN/FOX say yes?

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 17m17 minutes ago
The answer to the question does not effect OU's future for 2024 and beyond...they out.
But it sure does effect UC/BYU/UCF/UCONN.

I can tell you. OU will be going to the SEC. Full disclosure, I never bought into OU to the B1g. So what I find fascinating now is with UVA, UNC, and GT off the table, what does the B1g do, if anyting?

Bluevod is still irrationally hanging on to this "lets see if FSU really signs the new GOR" stance.

This reminds me of 2013 when the WVU and other Big 12 folks couldn't believe that the ACC schools signed and argued that partial member ND and future member Louisville couldn't legally sign a GOR.......

@MH ver3 why a pac12 school leave their conference for the Big 12? They own their Network Big 12 do not have ownership of anything.

@Odharris1 I because their network makes no money. Also B12 schools have ownership of T3.

@MH ver3 you're fooling yourself TV is included with your 3T contracts. You just won't let it go that PAC ACC will survive. P4 is happening

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 5h5 hours ago
@Odharris1 and I don't think P4 will happen anytime soon. I do believe PAC will be vulnerable. Heck B12 is vulnerable right now.

Flintdawg ‏@Odharris1 5h5 hours ago
@MH ver3 why is Pac-12 vulnerable they own their Network they have ownership in something that's there. Big 12 don't own anything

@flugempire Clearly speaks to BYU no? Obviously Sunday play would not be an issue.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 2h2 hours ago
@muddymuddster Yes.

Aaron ‏@posas13 1h1 hour ago
@flugempire Little chance. This is about solidifying for the time when Texas and OU are gone.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
@posas13 I would agree.

@flugempire greg what is the BTM hearing for 2 and 4 school

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
@BriUConn I will talk with him again soon. As of May/June it was UC/UCONN. Will see..

Kyle S. Lamb ‏@Kyle_Lamb 1h1 hour ago
@flugempire always thought size of UCF + location + quality of facilities would be big ally in expansion, but what is good about timing?

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
@Kyle_Lamb Before ACCN announcement..would been impossible for ESPN to support adding another P5 FLA school...would have pissed off FSU

junglehusky ‏@junglehusky 1h1 hour ago
@BriUConn @flugempire Also Greg, does this change OU/UT exit ramp? Anticipate extended B12 GOR if/when expansion happens?

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
@junglehusky @BriUConn Are we expecting extended B12 GOR? Is it needed? I have no idea at this time

BYU & Cincy are in... UCONN likely in...

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
The Big 12 knows who the 4 are. The question is do they expand to 12 or 14. That's in the hands of ESPN/Fox.

david_gibson ‏@BaylorFight · 5h5 hours ago
@theDudeofWV No it isn't.

Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV
@BaylorFight Yes it is. If ESPN Fox agree to pay more but less than the pro rata amount for 14 the B12 stays at 12.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
I'm certain BYU is #11 and UC #12. The question is do they add 2 more?

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
The Big 12 will extend their GoR. OU and Texas are aboard.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
And you can bet on a presser in Provo in Cincy in 3 weeks.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
The Big 12 has had a composition committee for 2 years. Navigate and HBV have done analysis. You really think they don't have their list.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago
@ChrisLevel @JoeParkerCSU BYU & CSU don't infringe upon current recruiting footprint. They also add new markets.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
One more time. The Big 12 has is 4 picked. They are pre-approved.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
@UConn6thBorough Honestly. BYU is the only one I'm certain of... UC, UCONN seem good bets.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
@UConn6thBorough UCONN & UC fit the description of what the B12 wants. Stability. UCONN football could be an issue.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
The Big 12 has its four. Now comes the real. Negotiations with ESPN/Fox and the schools. Expect a very lengthy phase-in period.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
I hate to see fans of the G5 schools get overly excited. 1st ESPN/Fox likely to pay to limit Big 12 expansion to 12.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago
Secondly I'm certain BYU is in as football/hoops only if they agree.

Taylor Jackson ‏@taylorijackson · 40m40 minutes ago
@theDudeofWV can you confirm that the vote on BYU actually happened after the expansion vote?


Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV
@taylorijackson Give me a few days. I have reason to believe all 4 are already chosen.
