[URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@[B]theDudeofWV[/B] [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/496648341640712192']20m[/URL] The vote Thursday, along with the B12 & ACC request on CCGs, will affect expansion in the next 5-10 years.

[URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@[B]theDudeofWV[/B] [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/496648883645464578']19m[/URL] So ESPN would say if you want SECN you have to take ACCN too. Just concept phase for now. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@[B]theDudeofWV[/B] [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/496649122481704960']18m[/URL] I would imagine the ACCN would discounted in such a scenario.

[URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@[B]theDudeofWV[/B] [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/496649948214358016']19m[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/1998Grad']@[B]1998Grad[/B][/URL] The SEC wouldn't. ESPN would. Look at the details of the SECN agreement. ESPN has most of the risk. SEC most of the $.

Nobody is saying no to the SECN.

Hey so you want to advertise on WVU... well you have to buy a Pitt ad too...

If anything it'll help the ACC and do nothing for SEC. Bury the acc should be the aim [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@[B]theDudeofWV[/B] [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/496652386904309760']9m[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/1998Grad']@[B]1998Grad[/B][/URL] Likely it will prompt the SEC to take FSU & Clemson just to show dominance. Just my opinion - no info on that. [URL='https://twitter.com/1998Grad'][B]Jeremy[/B] ‏@[B]1998Grad[/B] [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/1998Grad/status/496653647204601856']4m[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV']@[B]theDudeofWV[/B][/URL] there will be a civil war if the sec proposes that. Especially in South Carolina. No way we take the taters! [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@[B]theDudeofWV[/B] [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/496649318703857664']18m[/URL] I'm also told that an ACCN virtually shuts down the notion that Texas would ever join & that has ramifications as well. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@[B]theDudeofWV[/B] [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/496649530923053056']17m[/URL] Currently only the ACC & Big 12 don't have conference networks. An ACCN would mean only the Big 12 is without. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@[B]theDudeofWV[/B] [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/496652968394240000']4m[/URL] I'm told the deal is that any conf. who can afford to play with the P5 will not be excluded. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@[B]theDudeofWV[/B] [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/496653169502720002']3m[/URL] That's more difficult that it sounds because one bad apple spoils the opportunity for the whole conf. ME: Just remember that ESPN wouldn't be talking about an ACCN unless there's money to be made. Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. [/QUOTE]
