Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1355548, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 20m20 minutes ago @ScottPoi There is nothing to gain for the Big 12 by expanding now. Boren said. It's true. Scott Poindexter ‏@ScottPoi · 21m21 minutes ago @theDudeofWV you have said multiple times that everything in Big12 land is fine and that no expansion would occur until TV contracts are up Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @ScottPoi Yes. That's true. Or they find a way to make a network. Nothing Boren said counteracted that. Scott Poindexter ‏@ScottPoi · 21m21 minutes ago @theDudeofWV you have quoted figures before that showed how much a school would have to be worth for the TV contract. That is not true. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @ScottPoi Yes it is.... do I have to prove it to you. Who do you think told me & everyone else those numbers. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 15m15 minutes ago @ScottPoi Everyone from CBS, ESPN, Fox and all local media were told the same thing. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 19m19 minutes ago @ScottPoi I was told, and many others were told, that money would not be added to the TV contract for expansion. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 19m19 minutes ago @ScottPoi But we were told expressly by the Big 12 it would result in a loss of revenue. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 19m19 minutes ago @ScottPoi Boren's statements yesterday were in context to a network. A possible network that makes expansion feasible in the future. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 15m15 minutes ago @ScottPoi I do not know how to reconcile what was said yesterday versus what everyone who covers the Big 12 has been told before. Scott Poindexter ‏@ScottPoi · 17m17 minutes ago @theDudeofWV I understand it. It's you who can't admit it. They can go to 12 teams TOMORROW and their TV share per school stays the same Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @ScottPoi Value? and it would reduce revenues even if what Boren said was true. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11m11 minutes ago @ScottPoi The bottom line is no value = no expansion. No expansion without network. No AAC school adds value. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 10m10 minutes ago @ScottPoi While you completely miss the context of Boren's statements & the fact the basically confirmed what I've said for years. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 7m7 minutes ago @ScottPoi "Adding two more schools makes economic sense if it brings in at least another $50 million per year in revenue." Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4m4 minutes ago @ScottPoi By the way Bowlsby said yesterday that 40-40% of Big 12 revenue would have to be split 12 ways instead of 10 without an increase.
