Some tidbits on the eve of the B12's "Come to Jesus Meeting"...

Fox & ESPN would partner on a Big 12 network converted from LHN. That's pretty much close to being worked out.

Major obstacles remain and I didn't get the vibe that current members are entirely sold on the idea.

Keeping Texas whole is another concern. But the money would seem to be there if the right additions are made.

A presentation on the value of candidates will be held to educate Big 12 stakeholders on the projected profitability of B12N.

[URL='https://twitter.com/davidmlatimer'][U]@[B]davidmlatimer[/B][/U][/URL] The fact is a network changes the equation. Value is now cable households in the state DMA.

The focus, according to sources, is on UC, UCONN, USF & UCF.

14 is the magic number for the B12N - based on info from the same source.

However don't expect any decisions until May. Once Texas agrees, if they agree, to transform LHN the complex talks start.

If you are a fan of UC/UCONN/USF/UCF don't count your chickens before they hatch.

Without a network there will be no expansion.

And Boren's ill conceived statements only hardened Texas.

Hopefully sanity will win the day & the dollars that expanding to 14 & having a network sooth any hard feelings.

But make no mistake, the future of the Big 12 (beyond 2025) depends on what Texas decides.

BYU fans need to chill. Just wait a week. This is the Big 12 they're likely to go back & forth a few times before deciding.

Remember a network reduces the value of a school to the total number of cable households in their DMA & state.

That's a wee bit of over simplification but good enough to understand why schools with little football cachet suddenly have mad value.
