Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1700997, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago @jay_256 You need to accept the fact that expassion without a network kills the Big 12. It doesn't help it. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago @jay_256 You need to accept the fact that Texas has 3 votes in its pocket - enough to block expansion. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago @jay_256 And that KSU has an interim prez who doesn't want to cast KSU's vote on such an important matter. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago @jay_256 Or that the last thing Ken Starr wants to think about now is expansion. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago @jay_256 So that's 3 votes against & 1 abstention. At the very best that's only 6 yes votes & that's 2 short. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago @jay_256 Because each & every B12 president understands that expansion without a revenue increase means the B12 is dead in 2024. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 5h5 hours ago @jay_256 The B12 isn't saying no to Memphis, UCONN, CSU, BYU or UC. It's saying no to expansion. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 3h3 hours ago So far every Big 12 source I have - conf & schools - who has responded says the Big 12's upcoming inaction is due to a lack of consensus.
