Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1361298, member: 1737"] Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 49m49 minutes ago Must remember…this info comes from somebody who’s employment puts him in a B1G (non-decision maker)…who passes along current B10 perceptions Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 48m48 minutes ago Last dinner with friend/source was April 17th. Check my Timeline of April 17 if need..info is still a “live wire” with exception of Missouri Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 47m47 minutes ago Big Ten’s current perception on MIZZOU is they will be in the SEC for over 100 years. The door is closed. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 45m45 minutes ago But if you check April 17th timeline - B10 Man discussed the real B1G targets of 15/16 being OU/KU. So, this is what was said to me tonight Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 44m44 minutes ago First, B10 perceptions, the B12 (as was said April 17th) is not stable….not a shocker with Boren’s recent statements in the background Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 43m43 minutes ago But the B10 does not believe the B12 will get stable….it is almost impossible….there is only 1 route to B12 stability. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 40m40 minutes ago The pathway toward stability for B12 is to expand to 12 - big markets and large schools 1st importance - fan bases size and academics - 2nd Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 39m39 minutes ago 2nd step toward stability is the creation of the B12N. Expansion won’t create stability alone.This why Boren brought up LHN being a failure. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 38m38 minutes ago Tonight I’m not going to waste time discussing the high value of a Conf Net - either believe in it or not at this point-Boren is a believer. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 38m38 minutes ago Before I get into what the B1G believes what they have to do to acquire OU/KU years out from now….lets 1st discuss B12 expansion Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 35m35 minutes ago B10 perception of B12 expansion is it is going to happen period.Sooner rather than later.High probability of next year-ready 2017 FB season Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 33m33 minutes ago Now this is where it gets very interesting.B10 perception(which could be wrong of course)is coming from this at a different angle than most. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 32m32 minutes ago Because of B12 situation with their contracts -with different factions being for/against expansion -11/12 will be a compromise choice. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 32m32 minutes ago Especially…..now get this…..especially between ESPN & FOX. According to “Big Ten Man” there is no way in hell both 11/12 come from the East. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 30m30 minutes ago ESPN will not allow it..not happening.ESPN would be willing to “support” 1 new Eastern B12 school.but not 2.Big Ten Man very strong on this Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 30m30 minutes ago ESPN does not want FOX to increase their P5 stock in the Eastern portion of the United States. FOX has some stock in WVU-RUT-UMD-PSU… Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 28m28 minutes ago ESPN wants to limit “FOX schools/content” in the East,even if its shared content in some form/manner with ESPN.ESPN will stop 2 Eastern adds Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 28m28 minutes ago So what does it mean? Look for ESPN to Champion Cincinnati over UCF. Look for FOX to champion UCF over Cincinnati...FOX already in Ohio Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 27m27 minutes ago FOX is already in state of Ohio in P5 content…so ESPN would have no problem a CINCY addition to B12. FOX wants to get into Florida with UCF. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 26m26 minutes ago “B10 Man” says B10 perception is FOX will get their 1st choice & UCF will become #11 for the B12 & ESPN and Texas will choose #12-compromise Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 25m25 minutes ago B10 perception UT will try to let out a little steam in pot of boiling water by finally agreeing to B12 expansion. But UT/ESPN choose 12. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 24m24 minutes ago Keep this in mind before I pass along what the B10 perception is on what UT/ESPN will do with 12. Texas is not choosing 12 based upon a B12N Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 24m24 minutes ago Texas and ESPN will not throw in LHN in the dumpster…they may change it a bit if they bolt to ACC/PAC in future…but not put LHN in dumpster. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 23m23 minutes ago According to B10 perceptions they believe Houston or BYU will be 12. B10 at this moment says Houston has inside track to 12. Why? Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 23m23 minutes ago For 1 reason:Because of internal state politics…UT politicians can gain GIANT IOU’s in the state legislature if it deals in Houston at B12. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 21m21 minutes ago According to B10 perception its wildly known the SECN/TAMU has gutted the B12 from the Houston/ Metro…this is also a BIG + for UH inception. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 20m20 minutes ago ESPN will fight for Houston….but ESPN is also close with BYU….but Texas politics make UH a slight favorite for 12….less headache. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 19m19 minutes ago UT is not looking to create B12N…not going to happen. UH fulfills what UT/ESPN is looking at out West… Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 18m18 minutes ago ESPN not concern with FOX gaining “stock” in Houston....as they would be in FOX gaining "stock" in Memphis-Tulane-New Orleans-ect Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 18m18 minutes ago So now what happens?….with an expanded B12 to 12 schools (UCF+Houston or BYU) but without a B12N? Instability in B12 is what happens Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 18m18 minutes ago B10 is already talking with Kansas & Oklahoma….every once in a while….these discussions are happening. SEC is talking with OU all-the-time! Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 17m17 minutes ago This is the reality. B10 has a “long road to hoe” in acquiring KU/OU but it has taken first steps. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 16m16 minutes ago The content and value of the next B1G Basketball contract with CBS/ESPN-2017 is HUGE...HUGE...when it comes to KU-B1G possible marriage. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 15m15 minutes ago B10 will try to convince KU not to redo its 3rd Tier Contract with ESPN in 2021/22. If KU opts for FOX or another option in 2022…LOOK OUT! Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 15m15 minutes ago This is what the B10 is focusing on…..working on a platform/contract/exposure/BTN which will elevate KU BB Value into even bigger heights. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 15m15 minutes ago If KU does not re-up with ESPN on 3rd tier….this gives the signal to OU and everyone that KU is ready to jump to B1G in 2024-25. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 14m14 minutes ago B10 needs to get KU to get OU….KU addition will bolster getting OU. KU is the “turn-key”. Not just for OU but for B1G Presidents-acceptance Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 13m13 minutes ago Yep, were still talking 9-10 years out except B10 perception if UT bolts to ACC/INDY/PAC the GOR gets destroyed by pure inertia. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 12m12 minutes ago B10 believes Boren’s comments about LHN failure - mocking UT on not giving it up….is a message from OU to UT to go ahead and bolt-were fine. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 11m11 minutes ago It’s almost if…from a B10 perception….OU is telling UT nothing will ever again be cool between us b/c we want different environments. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 11m11 minutes ago So what do we have from a Big 10 perspective? 1)Big 12 will expand next year. 2)Big 12 will expand with UCF/Houston (or BYU) Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 10m10 minutes ago 3)Big 12 can’t create B12N (Texas-LHN)...even with additional markets. 4)No sugar daddy to create/support B12N without Texas content Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 10m10 minutes ago 5)B10 talking with OU/KU…thinking they have a shot at both…but need KU to say bye to ESPN 2022 first…OU taking B1G option seriously.... Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 9m9 minutes ago 6)SEC will go after OU aggressively. SEC is frontrunner for OU only if Boren does not take steps to insert PRO-B1G next OU President. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 6m6 minutes ago 7)B1G believes Boren and KU are close..relationship is tight. Both give each other coverage in any package deal. Everybody wants them Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 5m5 minutes ago 8)B12 will stay P5 even if it implodes w/o KU/OU or even UT. Why? It has to do with Autonomy rules and other stuff-Tomorrow explanation [/QUOTE]
