Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1359046, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago Thinking about the Big 12 coverup. Dennis Dodd knew. So did @mikecasazza because he told me 3 years ago. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago So who was the first person to say the Big 12 would lose $ by expanding? Oliver Luck I believe followed by Bowlsby. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago But neither said specifically TV $ was included. Could it be that we all just made an assumption? i know I did. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago Because I've poured thru my notes while on vacation and nary a person told me that Big 12 TV $ would not go up. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago What they did say was revenues would go down. They did say no one had the value they needed. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago And there is one rather detailed explanation by a WVU source about TV appearances and guarantees per school. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago How minimum & maximum appearances effect earnings. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago So my apologies. I got it wrong. i knew better. I violated my own rule about double & triple checking. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago it's especially troubling to me that I had in my notes Dennis Dodd's statement about the B12 getting the same amount of $ for expansion. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago No matter who they added. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago The troubling thing for me is that @dennisdoddcbs reported that fact in 2012 but a year later he also reported the same about B12 expansion. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago So clearly the party line was not to expand. It's the same. I'm told a B12 CCG may add no money to the TV contract at all. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago Then again Chuck Neinas was told the same thing by representatives of ESPN/ABC and Fox Sports Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago ESPN/ABC and Fox Sports indicated that Notre Dame would increase the value of the conference relative to future TV $ [URL]http://www.si.com/si-wire/2012/06/29/big-12-commissioner-irish-only-team-add-value[/URL] … Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago The answer is Yes. OU & WVU have both spoken to the SEC in 2013. They decided the GoR is insurmountable & Texas told the B1G no thanks. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago I've told a select few about OU & WVU & the SEC. Didn't see the need to stir up trouble with the GoR & all. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago Both OU & WVU were concerned about UT. The neither have those concerns anymore. And the GoR... Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago i only mention that about WVU, OU & the SEC now because it's old news but rumors from the lunatic fringe starting to seep out. [/QUOTE]
