Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1350367, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago Let's talk a minute about the Big 12 and rumors. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago Before we begin lets set the record straight on the AAC schools. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago They, the ACC schools, all have red flags. None of them meet the $25 pro rata standard & that standard goes up each year. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago Now if you agree that if/when the B12 expands that it will be in the EST then you have a group of AAC schools who are pretty much equal. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago UCONN has the best hoops program & UCF, Cincy & ECU arguably better football programs. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago They are all equal right now but they are all far short of the mark. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago Here's the thing. The AAC would be powerless to stop the Big 12 from poaching it. There is no need to keep it secret. No need at all. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago If B12 expansion were in the works you would hear it from the conference. Not the same rumors that keep surfacing time and time again. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago the Big 12 will not/can not expand unless its economically viable to do so. It will not add schools for a CCG. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago It will not add schools if doing so loses $ or even if they break even. They want profit. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago That's what you look for first. Talk of a B12N or redoing their TV contract. Still years out. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago My opinion from talking to people who know is that the Big 12 will expand but not for 3-5 years at the earliest. Aaron Wilson ‏@AJ97Wildcat · 2h2 hours ago @theDudeofWV I feel ESPN may push UConn. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @AJ97Wildcat Where? UCONN has the most liability in terms of football. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago @AJ97Wildcat UCONN could be the 1st one into the B12 due to hoops & market but its more likely they get left out because of football. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago So let's put some rumors in the grave. UCONN isn't being considered for the B1G. Sorry no offense but no basis to that one. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago Cincy did talk to the B12. It was a courtesy meeting. Cincy was told basically don't call us we will call you. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago UCF and ECU are real candidates. USF is not. Memphis is but a real dark horse. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago @AB670 UCONN's football program is millstone around their chances of P5 membership. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago @AB670 I have nothing against UCONN. No agenda. Just metrics & an understanding of what each conf. needs. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago @AB670 What you have to understand is CR is all about football. Any hope UCONN had of the B1G died when they added RU. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago @AB670 But the ACC.... UCONN is a much better fit. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @lwillfollow @AB670 Not this again. Rutger's addition to the B1G killed UCONN's chances. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago @lwillfollow @AB670 The B1G bar is so high now that only a few schools merit inclusion.
