Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1362552, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 26m26 minutes ago All the focus is the Big 12 when the real smoke is coming from the ACC. Can't you guys hear the war drums? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 26m26 minutes ago The frustrating part for me is this... Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 25m25 minutes ago So much conjecture based on Boren's comments but what has really changed? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 25m25 minutes ago I tell you what... it was a foregone conclusion that the Big 12 was only secure until the GoR expired. Everybody on the planet knew that. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 25m25 minutes ago But all this talk about OU leaving doesn't take into account the reality of modern college football... its a business. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 18m18 minutes ago It's all about risk versus reward. It's about the instability in the market futures due to the O'bannon law suit. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 17m17 minutes ago Expansion really doesn't pay off unless a conf. network is concerned. Look at the ACC. They added 2 schools that did what to the bottom line Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 17m17 minutes ago Even the mighty SEC had CBS push back when they added TAMU and Mizzou. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 15m15 minutes ago My point is that endless expansion reaches a point where its not profitable and it muddies the scheduling waters. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 14m14 minutes ago Right now with the Big 12 GoR and the need to find an eastern school to balance out the conference it's too much risk. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 11m11 minutes ago The SEC and B1G both covet the same thing. Nielsen's 24th & 25th DMAs. JA ‏@JeremyAnthony · 17m17 minutes ago @theDudeofWV the talk of OU leaving stems from personal feelings. OU feels like they deserve better. Unfortunately, may have missed the boat Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @JeremyAnthony I'm not sure OU feels that way. The Big 12 needs to expand. They need a conference network. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 12m12 minutes ago @JeremyAnthony Boren just told UT in no uncertain terms that the LHN jeopardizes the future of the Big 12. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 7m7 minutes ago Big 12 fans should appreciate what they have. A football conference full of down to earth fans who not going to kill your trees. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5m5 minutes ago In the past few days I've been accused of pandering to the WV fans. That's not true. WV folk are a pragmatic lot. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5m5 minutes ago WV fans expect the worst. I would never let my love for my home state & WVU keep me from telling the truth. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3m3 minutes ago So I'm telling you this out of tough love. Don't listen to the rumors of OU leaving or the Big 12 expanding. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2m2 minutes ago It's only chatter. But the Big 12 must make some changes to survive. They must convince UT to give up LHN. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2m2 minutes ago It that takes OU or a school like WVU to threaten the Big 12 and wake Texas up then I wish Boren well. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2m2 minutes ago But the truth is that in an environment where the B1G picks new members almost exclusively on market size (cont) Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1m1 minute ago even a prestige program like OU isn't worth the risk of the Big 12 GoR. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1m1 minute ago Texas gave up a lot to save the Big 12. They will have to give up LHN to save it beyond 2025. [/QUOTE]
