Why? I'm not sure. Maybe I'm just burned out. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595946665179279360']13m 13 minutes ago [/URL] So I'm not going to post anything but I will post summary points here. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595946845353947136']13m 13 minutes ago [/URL] The Big 12 will not expand. Maybe not ever. Texas & Oklahoma are not leaving the conference. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595946939528642561']13m 13 minutes ago [/URL] Anyone who tells you they have info otherwise is is lying. It's that simple. They are lying. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595947113923670016']12m 12 minutes ago [/URL] That's not to say that the conditions that make the Big 12 strong will not change. But according to what I'm hearing they will not. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595947351329628161']12m 12 minutes ago [/URL] Fox & ESPN have already guaranteed the Big 12 a huge paycheck for their next TV contract. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595947748547010561']10m 10 minutes ago [/URL] That's not my opinion. That's not heresy. That comes from the Big 12 conference. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595947966021672962']10m 10 minutes ago [/URL] There are fans of the B1G who will try and lead you to believe the Big 12 is just about to collapse. That too is a lie. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595948086897287168']9m 9 minutes ago [/URL] They will tell you many things but the truth. The Big 12 isn't the conference desperate to expand. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595948262491889665']9m 9 minutes ago [/URL] They don't understand the forces at play to maintain the status. How the SEC doesn't want the Big 12 or the B1G in their market. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595948409950965761']9m 9 minutes ago [/URL] Or that the SEC doesn't want to expand again despite the money to be made. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595948513428635649']9m 9 minutes ago [/URL] They wont tell you that Texas doesn't want to be in the B1G or the P12. The same goes for OU. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595948974437224448']7m 7 minutes ago [/URL] I've read many scenarios about the Big 12's demise over the last few days with each one more ludicrous than its predecessor. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595949210807181312']6m 6 minutes ago [/URL] The Big 12, all ten members, have put the past behind them and are working together for a prosperous future. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595949430282559488']6m 6 minutes ago [/URL] As for the CCG.... the Big 12 made the right decision. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595949606455930880']6m 6 minutes ago [/URL] If you doubt me or anything I've divulged this is where I remind you I was the only one who said the Big 12 might not adopt a CCG. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595949884521447425']6m 6 minutes ago [/URL] That's not to say I have all the pieces of the puzzle. I don't - no one could. But I trust the people I speak to and they trust me. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595951102710939649']46s 46 seconds ago [/URL] I also want to say something to the fans of Cincy, UCONN, UCF and USF. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595951309955735552']28s 29 seconds ago [/URL] I am a fan of all of your programs. You guys got a raw deal - one you didn't deserve. I wish I could give you good news. I'm always looking. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595951475030945792']32s 32 seconds ago [/URL] But the truth is that deregulation of the CCG rule likely means the Big 12 never expends. Unless Fox agrees to seriously overpay. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595951571474771969']1m 1 minute ago [/URL] That just came to my attention the last few days. I debated about it over and over. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595951735241371649']26s 27 seconds ago [/URL] But the Big 12 has decided that if they have the right to play a CCG with 10 - and that will pass easily - then why expand? [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595951842531667968']35s 35 seconds ago [/URL] The paycheck will always be greater with 10 than 12. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595951990292754433']58s 59 seconds ago [/URL] I hope they change their minds. I wish you only the best. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] @theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/595952237387632640']30s 30 seconds ago [/URL] Anything I've said that has come across as negative about your programs was only meant to present an accurate picture of expansion.
