Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1339899, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5 May 2014 The Big 12 expansion committee is not discussing expansion. It doesn’t even exist anymore. Joe McMurphy ‏@JoeMcMurphy · 12h12 hours ago .@theDudeofWV Too bad Lyons just said differently. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @JoeMcMurphy That just started recently. Sorry you missed it. Yet nothing is happening. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @knightbengal I'm sorry. Big 12 isn't adding anyone. They can't without losing money. Until that changes... nada... Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @knightbengal How many times do these rumors pop up? I hate to be the one with the bad news but nothing has changed for the Big 12. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @knightbengal They are more than content to wait to see what ESPN does with the ACCN. Because we all know AAC schools are not going anywhere Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @knightbengal So there is absolutely zero incentive for the Big 12 to expand. It adds nothing to the TV contract therefore nothing to $. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @knightbengal I'm hearing absolutely nothing about the Big 12 adding anyone or considering anyone but FSU. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @knightbengal Define sprint. If by 5 years rather than 12 then I say its possible. Heck...I'll give you a 3 year window if they can find Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @knightbengal A way to get more content for a B12N. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @knightbengal But that's the only way it happens. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @caingle @knightbengal Personally I would welcome UCF, Cincy, UCONN and ECU into the Big 12. But the economics haven't changed. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @caingle @knightbengal Unless they find a way to do an end-around the LHN and buy back rights then expansion could be feasible. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @caingle @knightbengal But they are not doing that unless they have an agreement on B12N in place and its just in the concept stage. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @knightbengal I hate to say this but what else would he say during fund raisin season? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @caingle @knightbengal Big 12 contact says he is not aware of any statements made by UCF. That the Big 12 will talk about expansion in Oct. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11h11 hours ago @caingle @knightbengal The school assumed to be discussed is FSU but he wouldn't confirm it was FSU. So unless I can get specifics from him.
