B12 discontent isn't real. It's manufactured. Big 12 is waiting on ESPN & ACCN. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @TalkinACCSports The Big 12 wants FSU. OU wants FSU in the Big 12. So does WVU. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @TalkinACCSports There is > 90% chance that FSU is a B12 member by 2018 if ACCN doesn't drop. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @TalkinACCSports There is also 0% chance that ESPN passes on the ACCN. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @TalkinACCSports Because without FSU their ACC investment until 2027 is worthless. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 48m48 minutes ago @TalkinACCSports What if UT caved & the Big 12 convinced ESPN to morph LHN into a B12N? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 47m47 minutes ago @TalkinACCSports Because that's necessary for the Big 12 to expand with anyone. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 47m47 minutes ago @TalkinACCSports UT loses money in the short term but secures the future of the Big 12 by doing so. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 46m46 minutes ago @TalkinACCSports Based on my convos UT wants the Big 12 to last. They don't want to play in the pacific time zones & they don't want B1G. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 46m46 minutes ago @TalkinACCSports It's looking more & more like its going to be either the ACC or Big 12 survive. The Big 12's GoR is valid. I'm certain. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 46m46 minutes ago @TalkinACCSports Because each school was paid $6M for signing it & it was a condition of the new TV deal which pays them over market value. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 45m45 minutes ago @TalkinACCSports Many people think Boren's comments were a statement of OU's dissatisfaction. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 45m45 minutes ago @TalkinACCSports I'm told his statements were a warning to UT that if the Big 12 is to be healthy & endure they need a CN & to expand. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 44m44 minutes ago @TalkinACCSports And I would bet my life that the Big 12 has their sights on FSU and perhaps Clemson. That's "informed" insight. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 44m44 minutes ago @TalkinACCSports But one big gamble for both the ACC & Big 12. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 45m45 minutes ago @KilroyFSU @TalkinACCSports The ACC has a huge footprint but NC saturation & 7 private schools. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 45m45 minutes ago @KilroyFSU @TalkinACCSports At least 4 of those private schools have serious financial problems athletically. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 44m44 minutes ago @KilroyFSU @TalkinACCSports The real mystery is the ACC grant of rights. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 44m44 minutes ago @KilroyFSU @TalkinACCSports Everyone says it's valid officially but they are terrified of what happens if ESPN doesn't pick it up by 2017. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 43m43 minutes ago @KilroyFSU @TalkinACCSports Long term... the Big 12 is being paid a premium with a small footprint. 4 schools have 80% of value. [/QUOTE]
