Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1674011, member: 1737"] Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago BTM says no B1G raids will happen before 2024...zero reasons for it to happen. No incentive. Properties B1G will target will be there 2024 Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago BTM continues to state B1G next moves are KU/OU as 15/16....and 17/18 will work itself out...but to difficult to comment on now. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago BTM: FOX getting 1/2 of B1G TV media is a clear message in conference realignment. 6 year deal is even a bigger one. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago BTM: EXAMPLE:Check when Kansas is free of their current 3rd Teir deal. Let's just say KU won't be renewing that deal,will run its course. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago BTM: B1G 17/18 will be Eastern Expansion. But who...impossible to know interest levels of UNC/Virginia/VT in 2025/26. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago BTM: ESPN is not letting any ACC properties go...not until ACC GOR runs out...& ACC will be fed more $ to extend GOR Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago BTM: Will there be ACC schools interested in B1G & won't sign extended GOR's? Probably..too many variables to comment on in any seriousness Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago BTM: But shared interest between B1G & KU/OU is known...it's a known factor. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago BTM: Big 12 will remain a P5 conference far in future..even with roster shakeup in 5-6-7 years...this is the strong perception of B1G Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago BTM: This also seems to be perception of B12 schools who do not have another landing spot in future B12 shakeup. So B12 expansion is slowed Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago OU Contacts: Big 12 will expand...it will be in Eastern Timezone...UC/UCONN most attractive candidates for increase exposure....but... Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago ...but...the anticipation and now reality of what B1G will get in new media contracts...well...it's a bouquet of flowers to KU/OU. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago And because of this OU contacts have perception that in odd sort of manner Boren has lost some inertia..some power in B12 to move EXP faster Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago BTM & OU contacts are in agreement...6 year deal with FOX is a precursor to B1G expanding with HUGE brands in West before eyes turn eastward Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago And those huge brands being KU/OU...of course. BTM: Texas future can't be determined with any seriousness...except it will stay with ESPN Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago BTM: But Texas future does not include PAC or B1G possibilities....this is B1G strong perception. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago So in conclusion BTM: What we are seeing being played out in B1G Media deals for 2017-2023 is leading us to next B1G 100 year decision OU/KU Josh Cantor ‏@JCantor34 · 3h3 hours ago @flugempire with all of this info has this changed your opinion on Big 12 expansion of UConn and Cinici? Greg Flugaur‏@flugempire @JCantor34 No...but timing may be slowed. Big 12 needs to expand before it needs to backfill. ...for so many reasons. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago @calluke1 B12 can wait forever to expand... B12 can and will salvage Conf...but reality of OU:KU leaving B12 in 2024 is reality. C.L.H. ‏@calluke1 · 2h2 hours ago @flugempire so Big10 will not expand, ESPN will feed ACC $ to stay, & Big12 will add UCONN/UC this summer but OU/KU will bolt in 6 years? Greg Flugaur‏@flugempire @calluke1 Yes on all...except timing on B12 may now be slowed. Odd power change...Boren has less now because OU future is in great shape Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago @80sTiger Boren will try to lead charge for EXP...but others in B12 know OU got love letter from another Lover = B10. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago @WesJacksonUSF Yeah...B10 is not raiding anyone now. But 2023 Delany negotiates new deal and will add 2 HUGE very attainable brands: OU/KU Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago @JDLugOU Boren will continue to lead B12 reform...but in all honesty...others in B12 have same perception as B1G....OU is gone in 2023/24 Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago @JDLugOU BTM has never believed OU would challenge the B12 GOR...GOR only gets over run by Conf Implosion Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago @JDLugOU And it's difficult to see implosion in B12 because of Disney/ESPN hold on Texas. Zach Hedges ‏@zthedges · 2h2 hours ago @flugempire @80sTiger if B12 knows OU/KU will eventually leave, isn't expansion even more necessary while conference is still stable? Greg Flugaur‏@flugempire @zthedges @80sTiger Yes. But B1G perception is in an odd way...the power has moved away from Boren to - KSU-BAY-WVU-TCU..and others. Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago @zthedges @80sTiger Example: OU won't do any reform deal with an extend GOR as a piece of the deal. Others will want an extension Mike Orwig ‏@OCCReds · 2h2 hours ago @flugempire it would seem B1G footprint expanding south along eastern seaboard into Florida is very important, no? Greg Flugaur‏@flugempire @OCCReds Yes. But not attainable for now..and after OU/KU. [/QUOTE]
