Based on what I've seen from sports media from Joe D to Thamel to Brando to Dodd I would guess his source is more than just someone in sports media. Sports media is made up of biased, clueless idiots.

Except Gresh.
 
Flug claims only one source and he doesn't really say anything that comes across as sensationalism. Plus, he doesn't wildly through out 15 different scenarios every week to cover his every base. To me, he seems grounded enough to be believable. That's more than I can say for most other key, non-key tweeters.
 
Throw* out, not through*

(It won't let me edit my previous post so I'm making a correction here)
 
Obviously questionable common sense and good judgement with her

"Herding votes and official voting on 4 school packages will occur before September 1st"
"This will not go beyond August"

@flugempire Still same 4 favorites? UC/UCONN/UH/BYU?

Have received zero info that would contradict our July 21st statement.

@Jeffery_Cobb However I'm told that ESPN/Fox are not pleased the Big 12 is considering 14.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@Jeffery_Cobb I believe the possibility grows every day that ESPN/Fox will pay to limit the Big 12 to adding 2.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@Jeffery_Cobb UCONN / Memphis / CSU. I hear those 3 for 14. CSU remains my dark horse.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
@Jeffery_Cobb Not sure if it's true but I was told CSU dominates their market. Not so of the others.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
My opinion only. ESPN/Fox will pay to limit Big 12 expansion to 12. Keeps the door open to add P12 schools in 2024.

Zach Hedges ‏@zthedges · 2h2 hours ago
@theDudeofWV Why not go to 14 now and go to 16 if P5 schools become available?

Christopher Lambert
‏@theDudeofWV
@zthedges I've wondered the same myself.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
If the Big 12 does limit expansion to 12 UC looks to be the odd school out. Assuming Texas really wants UH in the B12 & is willing to deal

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago
Industry sources tell me that ESPN/Fox could live with BYU & UH/UC added to the Big 12.

I wonder if he has an ounce of self-awareness when he puts this out for the world to see? He covered every possible outcome in just 8 tweets.
 
Why is the dude still getting posted? He knows nothing. The Big 12 is not going to expand by only 2 and include Houston. That's about as dumb as it gets.

with the full realization that 99.99% of random twitter people who claim to have an inside source, do not have an inside source:
  • Flug had Cincy/UConn as his 2 predicted additions wayyy before the Big 12 media was treating us like a real possibility
  • Flug was the first one I saw to put together the Cincy/UConn/BYU/UH list. Writers or otherwise.
  • Flug was the first to talk about "horse trading" votes, and said that it would lead ultimately to a 4-team addition. Now mostly everyone seems to agree on that, and a 4-team addition seems likely.
  • He was also the first to say that candidates would be presenting to the Big 12 on an accelerated timeline, over the next few weeks. We don't know if that's actually happened, but there's rumor now that BYU and Cincy have already made their pitch.
Maybe he doesn't really have a source, I don't know. But if he doesn't he's gotten pretty lucky with his predictions lately.

Well.. none of those are actually true, though, right? Yet? More mainstream media could just be parroting him/fringe media, and those things might all be way off base.

This reminds of these tweets, for some reason:

At the risk of making a Nelsonmuntzian post, if the AAC somehow gets stripped of 3 teams not named UConn, I do think that UConn might consider a radical move of some sort. I just can't figure out what it would be. Big East for All Sports? Sun Belt for football only? CUSA? MAC?

If you look at AAC without Cincy, Houston and Memphis, it is absurd in bball. Might as well be in the Patriot League. In football it will still be better than CUSA and the MAC, but the BE beckons at that point.

Will be interesting if something like this ever comes to pass because Fox would then pick up the UConn women. They are a draw nationally.

On the other hand, Memphis will not be selected. Remember, this school was horrid in football until recently. Few fans.

If UConn is excluded, its over. Joining the Big East and dropping football is the best case scenario.

We'd stay at least as long as the exit fee money lasted. Try to dominate the league in basketball and football, and pray for an ACC invite before we'd move back to the Big East

Absolutely I'm super anti radical stuff but if Memphis Cincy Houston leave there is no reason for us to hang.
