Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1087946, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV @PromiscuousJawa I agree with you about expansion. The B12 is safe until 2021 at least but it has to expand the footprint. Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa · 35m35 minutes ago @theDudeofWV They'll never make it to 2021 with 10 teams. No one outside the conference cares about us. Except for OU and OKSt. UT fading Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @PromiscuousJawa We don't agree on that. The GoR is in place. Fox wants the Big 12 intact. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @PromiscuousJawa OU is committed to the Big 12 if Texas is & Texas appears to be committed with new leadership. Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa · 32m32 minutes ago @theDudeofWV Texas' new leadership is onboard with expansion it seems. And Castiglione wants it sooner than later. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 29m29 minutes ago @PromiscuousJawa Texas isn't onboard with expansion. I don't know who is telling you that. Even OU won't vote for it. Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV @PromiscuousJawa ESPN is going to pressure Texas to move to the ACC but Texas has diminished interest after traveling to WV. Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV @PromiscuousJawa They are not hot about the travel the ACC would require. Not the costs... the hassle. Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 36m 36 minutes ago @PromiscuousJawa So the Big 12 could be in a position to benefit from a bidding war between Fox & ESPN. Could be... Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 36m 36 minutes ago @PromiscuousJawa That opens another can of worms. Does Fox push the B12 to expand to increase inventory? Texas has been deadset against exp. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @PromiscuousJawa Fox can't use the Big 12 as tentpole with only 10 members. Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV @PromiscuousJawa But Fox won't pay for expansion under the current contract they share with ESPN. Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa · 35m35 minutes ago @theDudeofWV talks are already ongoing man. Daily. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 34m34 minutes ago @PromiscuousJawa They are not & I'm not going to argue with you. I spoke with several contracts in the past week & NOTHING is happening. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 33m33 minutes ago @PromiscuousJawa Yoda has joined the dark side. Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 29m 29 minutes ago If people are trying to tell you that Big 12 expansion is imminent be very leery. [/QUOTE]
