Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1545454, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 22m22 minutes ago @Hindstr4 @CincyP5orbust In that 2/4 meeting Boren, Gee & Starr have to build a consensus on expansion. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 22m22 minutes ago @Hindstr4 @CincyP5orbust Building that consensus requires balancing the needs of their media partners & geographical concerns. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 21m21 minutes ago @Hindstr4 @CincyP5orbust With the needs of existing members. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 21m21 minutes ago @Hindstr4 @CincyP5orbust UC is in great shape because it ticks off a few boxes. It's close to WVU. It's in between WVU & the B12 proper. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 19m19 minutes ago @Hindstr4 @CincyP5orbust But the decisions they make during the meetings will supersede decisions made under the threat of needing 12. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 17m17 minutes ago @Hindstr4 @CincyP5orbust UC, & every other hopefuls, greatest cause for concern, is that now expansion is only feasible with a network. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV If you refuse to listen to me about the B12 then listen to Berry Tramel: [URL]http://newsok.com/does-ou-want-the-big-12-to-survive/article/5472760[/URL] … Albert Ruscitto ‏@CincyP5orbust · 4h4 hours ago @theDudeofWV Why listen to Berry Tramel when Tuxedo Yoda is on the story? Yoda says UT on board; Cincy and UConn locks. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago @CincyP5orbust Yoda is as clueless as the rest. Everything is TBD. Tramel is right. The Real Bob Mayhew ‏@HabibHaddad @theDudeofWV If they don't listen to you, they won't listen to Berry. Sadly, most have agendas that aren't based in reality. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 18m18 minutes ago @HabibHaddad Indeed. It frustrates me. I may just quit Twitter until the Big 12 meetings are over. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 13m13 minutes ago So Fenves at UT has said Texas is committed to the Big 12 but will not give up LHN: [URL]http://sportsday.dallasnews.com/college-sports/collegesports/2016/01/17/texas-president-fenves-big-12-vibrant-school-committed-longhorn-network[/URL] … Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 12m12 minutes ago This is not an issue. Boren knows a network is not possible at this time. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9m9 minutes ago Let me be clear: ESPN is short on cash. They will not outlay the funds to transform LHN into a B12N. They can't. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 8m8 minutes ago It's unfair to Texas to ask them to give up $15m a year. Boren wouldn't do it if it were OU's check ESPN was writing. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 7m7 minutes ago Boren knows this. He's not a idiot. He is using LHN as a tool to finally get UT to agree to expansion. It's called compromise. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 7m7 minutes ago Boren will give up the idea of a network now if UT agrees to expand. [/QUOTE]
