Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1355614, member: 1737"] Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 3h3 hours ago If the Dude comes out today and says he was dead wrong about the state of the B12...& OU/UT relationship I won't dig into him anymore. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 3h3 hours ago It will all be water under-the-bridge. But if the Dude lectures me again about how I got the OU info wrong...or lectures anyone else.... Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 3h3 hours ago ...it will be holy hell coming down on all directions. You feel me? David Boren was not having a bad day. DB had his day..about time Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago And there it is....no humility from @theDudeofWV I was the one who explained to him why B12N will not work with LHN. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 31m31 minutes ago OU not happy with B12 inability to grow...ESPN & UT makes sure it couldn't grow with the creation of LHN. Boren Finally makes it all public Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 28m28 minutes ago Big 12 is not unified and it's currently totally built on a short term basis. LHN is the Widowmaker. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 26m26 minutes ago LHN is stopping the Big 12 from a branding/marketing itself down at the ground level. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 23m23 minutes ago And for those who spout the LHN is only a minor issue for the Big 12...it can be resolved. I disagree respectfully. ESPN got what it wanted Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 21m21 minutes ago Example: Can you Imagine a Baylor & TCU branded everyday on a 24 hour Big 12 Network?....being carried in Orlando?...CINCY?...Minneapolis? Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 18m18 minutes ago All of it is being stopped by ESPN....all of it. Why? ESPN did not want to lose the great brand of Texas to a FOX conference Network. Redhawk Land Service ‏@RedhawkLand · 5m5 minutes ago @flugempire The LHN COULD be folded into a B12N. Would take ESPN, UT, Fox & all the individual schools coming to an agreement. long road. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 4m4 minutes ago @RedhawkLand Who would own it?...or have 50% of it? ESPN is not going to let FOX have University of Texas. FOX not giving up other 8 schools Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 3m3 minutes ago @RedhawkLand ESPN has Kansas...but other 8 is FOX affiliated in some capacity. ESPN/ Disney LHN did what they wanted..stopped B12 growth/FOX Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 16m16 minutes ago I tried to explain the falsehood of Big 12 3rd Tier Deals in how they were being explained by some. Outside of OU/UT/KU they don't hold up Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 15m15 minutes ago Even in the case of OU/KU their 3rd Tier Deal will not keep up in mid-term.Most of these deals and include all-media rights..BTN/SECN do not Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 15m15 minutes ago So no matter if you are discussing pure $...or exposure...or potential growth...or marketing...or branding...Big 12 needs B12N Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 13m13 minutes ago What Boren said yesterday did not just occur...this has been boiling over in Norman for months...no...years. But the success of SECN/BTN... Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 13m13 minutes ago ...has created a political environment which has made it internally possible in Norman for Boren to make his statements. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 11m11 minutes ago In Conclusion: Big 12 will lose Oklahoma and its great fanbase...it's great brand...it Flagship University in the heart of this Country... Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 10m10 minutes ago ...if Texas doesn't change course and dump the LHN on its rightful ass. It's up to Texas. Oklahoma has spoken. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 9m9 minutes ago Oklahoma has suitors..it's not WILL IT..it already has suitors. And NO..Delany and B1G have never PASSED on Oklahoma. Just another falsehood Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2m2 minutes ago @RedhawkLand Boren is laying down the groundwork for the next OU President to have options yrs from now.... LHN problem not going away Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 33s34 seconds ago @Expansion_Crush None of this is a surprise to Big Ten...this is why they did number crunching on OU/KU even AFTER they signed B12GOR [/QUOTE]
