If the conditions are right for the Big 12 to expand they will add as many schools as are profitable.
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV ·
6h
That number could be 12 or 14 or even 16. The caveat is it has to be even numbers.
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV ·

Right now, if the Big 12 had to expand, the schools in order of preference are:
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV ·
6h
BYU, UCF, UCONN, USF, CINCY, Memphis, Houston.
Mister_Solenday @Mr_Solenday · 6h
@theDudeofWV In your opinion, would a UCF/USF combo be more or less valuable than UCF by itself? Also curious why you have UConn so high.
Christopher Lambert
@theDudeofWV @Mr_Solenday For the Big 12 its either or not both. UCONN is valued higher by the networks because of ad rates & the value they add in hoops
Christopher Lambert
@theDudeofWV @Mr_Solenday Let me add this... for schools without a long history of success in football the hottest commodity at the time is the leader.
Mister_Solenday @Mr_Solenday · 6h
@theDudeofWV I would have thought that the pair would be valued as travel partners and that Uconn was too far flung. Always interesting.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 6h
@Mr_Solenday What does a travel partner mean? The Big 12 is only interested in making money.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 7h
Keep in mind what I said about BYU & UCF and their chances of being added to the Big 12.
Martin borg @Martyaborg · 6h
@theDudeofWV help me out meaning the part you said that byu UFC are next or that it will be a while before the are added part?
Christopher Lambert
@theDudeofWV @Martyaborg Right now IF the B12 decided to expand BYU & UCF would be invited. But right now the B12 has no interest in expanding
@Poca_Ashworth What if I told you the very concept of a CCG was being re-examined? High risk & little reward.
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV ·
6h
But again... all that is "what if" conditions are right. What if Fox & ESPN agree to pay.
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV ·
6h
Right now NONE of the conditions required for Big 12 expansion equate to true.
Christopher Lambert@theDudeofWV ·
6h
Just remember, in the coming days, who gave you correct info & not rumors. Info confirmed by Oliver Luck & the Big 12.
Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 7h
There is a path that leads to expansion for the Big 12 sooner rather than later. That path will be determined in August.
Mountaineer Steve @Mountaineer_Ste · 6h
@theDudeofWV Sorry for missing it, what is that Path and why August?
Christopher Lambert
@theDudeofWV @Mountaineer_Ste August is when the 350 FBS schools vote on legislation to give big 5 autonomy & B12/ACC legislation on CCG.
Christopher Lambert
@theDudeofWV @Mountaineer_Ste Necessity... the path is need i.e. CCG or votes and/or Fox/ESPN paying for expansion.
