Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1537241, member: 1737"] Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 5h5 hours ago Bowlsby wants there to be a compromise considering those 2 provisions, but I don't see how it's possible. #Big12 Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 5h5 hours ago My gut feeling: Big 12 will bite the bullet and expand within the next 2 years. They'll continue to hem and haw as long as possible, though. Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 5h5 hours ago Big 12 being able to hold CCG w/ 10 teams but divisions required does nothing for them. Whole point is to have 2 highest-ranked teams play. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire @frankthetank111 having an auto 2 highest rank teams play for B12-CCG is a disadvantage for B1G/SEC/PAC. Big 12 is not getting total Dereg. Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 5h5 hours ago Yes, it's a disadvantage for the leagues with logical geographic divisions. That's why there's now pushback. KyDerbyJay ‏@KyDerbyJay @frankthetank111 BYU and Cincy your prediction? Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 5h5 hours ago IMHO, they have always been leaders in the clubhouse. Can't discount schools like Houston, Memphis and UConn, though Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 5h5 hours ago For better or worse, the Longhorn Network is here to stay, so there won't be a Big 12 Network. Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 4h4 hours ago If ESPN doesn't want ACC Network, it definitely doesn't want Big 12 Network. Vast majority of B12 net $ are in Texas Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 4h4 hours ago There's little reason for ESPN to trade LHN for Big 12 Network. Texas market is only one that really matters there. Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 5h5 hours ago Any Big 12 candidate is going to have to push national media profile and football recruiting area above all else. Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 5h5 hours ago Main hurdles UConn has to overcome: short FBS history, poor football recruiting area and geography w/ rest of Big 12 Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 4h4 hours ago UConn has to sell TV territory, academics & basketball brand are strong enough to overcome Big 12 geographic issues Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 4h4 hours ago Frankly, Big 12 only taking WVU screwed UConn the most. UConn would be in ACC if Louisville was in Big 12 w/ WVU. Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 · 3h3 hours ago I think UConn might be the most valuable G5 school in a vacuum. It's just about its fit with Big 12 specifically. [/QUOTE]
