I don't think this combo of BYU/Boise St is going to happen for a simple reason which I'll explain.. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago However, this article really puts in a good argument for this particular scenario. Many good points. B12 should not worry about Boise St ACD Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago Big 12 should not worry much about Geography..let's face it..Big 12 needs to add as Big as Brands as they can get. But that is the problem.. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago ...what this fantastic article does not do is talk about what the B12 TV partners want... FOX will not commit to a BYU/Boise St combo. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago ESPN could probably buy into BYU/Boise St combo..but FOX wouldn't. So question is?..does going to 14 help grease the FOX skids w expansion? Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago I think there is almost zero chance of expansion to 14 so a BYU/Boise St combo doesn't work.But I will keep this in mind and will ask BTM Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago But also keep in mind..I don't see BTM until Sept 25th..and as much as he was ahead of the story...now we may be way behind the story. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago @geoffmitchell The current TV contract may just be pro-rata for 14 as it is for 12...it possible. However Bowl $...NCAA BB money ect.. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago @geoffmitchell ..would be slice up 4 more ways instead of 2...would a CCG for 20-25 mil a year make up the difference? I don't think so. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago @geoffmitchell Logically...heck..even emotionally these cautiousB12 Presidents would probably flinch severely at an exoansion of 4 over 2. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago @geoffmitchell FOX needs to be satisfied with one of these 2 additions..this means an addition in the East. Tramel write great article..but Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago @geoffmitchell ...but I don't see the scenario happening. But I will ask the question 8 weeks from now. Will see. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago @geoffmitchell Best part of the Tramel article is the first part where he describes added value to FOX/ESPN b/c it creates flexibility/Sched Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago @geoffmitchell ...because of the Mountain West Timezone. I think that argument has a lot of weight to it..IMO.But does FOX give up East add? Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 60m60 minutes ago @geoffmitchell Is the 2 Mountain West Timezone adds give enough overall value in FOX perspective to give up the FLA (UCF) add? [/QUOTE]
