Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1508657, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago The new rumors making the rounds about an impending B1G raid of the Big 12 are utterly & completely false. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago The Big 12 has a GOR. The B1G amendment to require divisions for having a CCG was to keep the Big 12 from having a distinct advantage. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago The B1G amendment is not intended as a spark to entice OU to leave. Think! If OU were to leave the B12 they would land in a conf with div Doug ‏@NebGradDubDub · 3h3 hours ago @theDudeofWV amendment is to damage the ACC. B10 doesn't care about B12 Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @NebGradDubDub I agree with that partly Doug. If they expand again they want ACC schools. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago Neither is it a mechanism to force B12 expansion. OU and Boren are the leading proponents for Big 12 expansion. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago The amendment's sole purpose is to keep the B12 from cherry picking teams for its CCG. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago There is nothing stoping the Big 12 from having 2 divs of 5 each should they not expand. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 4h4 hours ago Delaney went to great lengths to explain the rationale of the amendment. He pointed out he believes the B12 should not be forced to expand. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago This is a fact. So own it... Many B1G leaders are on record including Delaney: AAU status is required for the B1G. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago OU is not AAU. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago Until OU is a member of the AAU you know straightaway that any rumor you hear about the Sooners & B1G is false. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago "AAU membership is a part of who we are. It’s an important part of who we are." - Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago One more issue. Recently I learned my lesson about political interference & conf membership. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago The Big 12 is a conf of pairs: KU/KSU, OU/OSU, UT/TT. Think of the 2nd school as an anchor to the B12. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago @bking23 Political ties to act as an anchor to keep the larger school in the Big 12. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago By the way there is virtually no chance that the B1G amendment passes. I think it's fair & should be passed myself. [/QUOTE]
