Well you are welcome to go back and read the posts. Good luck finding anyone who has gotten more right than I have.
Even Waylon will tell you I'm the about the only one who understood the ACC wasn't going anywhere and was never in any danger.
The Big 12 will go one of two ways:
More likely they back down on expansion in exchange for an increase on this deal.
They might choose to play it halfway and add two schools - getting their increase by withholding most of the money from those two schools. I'd venture those two schools are Houston and Cincinnati - with BYU having a shot to displace them.
As stupid as they are I don't see them committing the long-term suicide of adding four teams - fighting the pro-rata in the courts and hoping new bidders arrive by the time their deal ends.
That's a bad bet. If they come out of this having added half of Cincy as a market, they will be even bigger laughingstocks. They need to come away with one of BYU or UConn. Maybe UCF.
