ESPN's PR blitz to paint the Big 12 as Big East 2.0 begins. Talking about Oklahoma to the SEC serves one purpose.

Would Oklahoma be better off in SEC?

Jay Poole ‏@JayPoole247 3h3 hours ago
@C_Austin_Cox @espn Oklahoma would go to the Big Ten long before it goes to the SEC. Too much $$$ outside of athletics in the B1G to ignore

C. Austin Cox ‏@C_Austin_Cox 3h3 hours ago
@JayPoole247 @espn Have felt for a long time it would be OU/KU to the B1G if they can cut KSU/OSU loose. OU/KU continue B1G bordering states

Cujo ‏@Big12Cujo 4h4 hours ago
@C_Austin_Cox Isn't West Virginia the only school from the Big East that the Big 12 has? wouldn't the ACC be Big East 2.0?

C. Austin Cox ‏@C_Austin_Cox 3h3 hours ago
@Big12Cujo You're thinking too literal. Big East 2.0 refers to how the network portrays the league as weak and that the big names must leave

Cujo ‏@Big12Cujo 3h3 hours ago
@C_Austin_Cox Oh Ok, So basically the networks want to destroy it like they did the Big East?

C. Austin Cox ‏@C_Austin_Cox 1h1 hour ago
Those complaining that Big 12 expansion is just a cash grab must think sports are run by UNICEF. It's a business. Cash grabbing is the point

LGBT group pushing Bowlsby and #Big12 not to invite #BYU is the same group that got the #NBA All-Star game pulled out of North Carolina.


MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 7h7 hours ago
My source is telling me that there was a major breakthrough in network negotiations last night and B12 is very close to moving forward.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
Should have a full update later tonight but was just told it looks like networks have reached an agreement with the Big12

Murr ‏@MurrDCU 1h1 hour ago
@MH ver3 12 or 14?

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
@MurrDCU looking like 14

Brian A ‏@BriUConn 1h1 hour ago
@MH ver3 4 or 2 schools

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 1h1 hour ago
@BriUConn looks like 4

Sports Betting Dime just sent a PR e-mail with tons of college football prop bets including...Big 12 expansion

@DanWolken
According to that site, next team to join Big 12 is: BYU (5/3), Houston (5/2), Cincy (5/2), UCF (3/1), Memphis (7/1), UConn (8/1)

Bummer, given that Vegas is often right about these things. But not entirely surprising. I think the geography is just a huge problem. I know we keep acting like it isn't, but what conference (besides the American, which has no choice) has intentionally invited people that far out of their geographic footprint? Nobody. Cause it all adds up.

If we were in Tennessee or Ohio, we'd already be invited. But we aren't. So we just have to hope. But I'm pessimistic.

Then again, maybe I'm using pessimism as a way to avoid keeping my hopes up.

That isn't Vegas that's just two dudes with a website. There's no actual betting lines on this.

All the odds tells us is that they need to incentivize people to pick UConn (or think that they do.) It doesn't mean that they have inside info.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 2h2 hours ago
A reliable source tells me that UC has enough votes for admission to the Big 12 even with WVU in opposition. Caution... still early.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 1h1 hour ago
So let's close the books on UC and pencil them in as #11.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 1h1 hour ago
ESPN/Fox want BYU as part of any expansion. BYU doesn't have much leverage. They must address Big 12 concerns effectively.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 1h1 hour ago
Here's what I think. So take notes so Flugar won't be confused.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 1h1 hour ago
Networks are basically picking the 4 for the Big 12 to add with some contingencies. BYU must ease the concerns of B12 presidents.
 
Irish Loop said:
Oh. Well, that's a relief, haha.

Good lord. Even if it was Vegas, the line is based on what bettors will think. There aren't university presidents betting on this in vegas, so it doesn't represent anything but the fans' perception.

Or the house's sense of fans' impressions, at least until there is some traffic on the opening line.

At least in Vegas the bookmakers are actually knowledgeable as hell and follow the sports they set lines on. Doesn't seem like these guys have done more than follow the Dude's tweets if they think USF has a 10-1 shot.

He also covered himself by saying Fox approved everybody
Expand ...

He was saying those were "network approved" schools. Everything this guys says is horse . But it gives us that warm and cozy feeling we need after we read another tweet that says "BYU, UC, UH and Memphis"

This needs to end already....my data usage is through the roof!

USF is 10-1 because there is a ton of vig. The prop is the NEXT team so it's pretty much going to be graded as straight garbage.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with 'Vegas' and is some garbage offshore book.
 
Here is the matt murschel tweet:

Odds on which team will join Big 12 next per @BettingDime:
BYU: 5/3
UH: 5/2
UC: 5/2
UCF: 3/1
Memphis: 7/1
UConn: 8/1
Colo. St: 8/1
USF: 10/1

Fox wants to get it done quickly before there is more public backlash against BYU. That could complicate things.

I get it. Fox wants to make sure they've got a contract signed with BYU before the next ugly news breaks. Because you definitely want to buy in on something when there's an imminent risk of it going down in value.

If this is true, then why would they wait any longer to announce it?

Cause it's not true? For anything other than rumors please consult the "Premium Top Shelf Tweets"

It's the number one rule of PR - you want to get in front of the train.

That's the exact point I was making. If it were actually true it would have been announced, or scheduled to announce in the next day or so.

I know...in the mean time what would we talk about tho?!?

I don't know about you guys....but I have a fresh 30 pack in the fridge ready to celebrate or drink my conference realignment sorrows away! I'm praying for celebration! Might even go to church and pray this week?
 
For anyone on Facebook looking for a little realignment entertainment....check out "The College Football Expansion Cohort" It's a closed group but you'll be added if you request.

It's Chris lambert (theDudeofWV) spreading his lies. But lots of entertaining commentary. Nothing you haven't seen here already. But not many UConn voices heard on there
