Message: [QUOTE="Seaa Blue, post: 1707759, member: 4774"] He's still posting (I think). More at [URL='https://twitter.com/flugempire']Greg Flugaur (@flugempire) | Twitter[/URL] Post order is from bottom, up. [URL='https://twitter.com/flugempire'][B]Greg Flugaur[/B] @flugempire[/URL] That is what BTM told us this weekend. Now we shall see what happens when B12 Presidents meet. [URL='https://twitter.com/flugempire'][B]Greg Flugaur[/B] @flugempire[/URL] BTM: Next Spring & Summer CFB news will be dominated by how Conferences and NCAA will be dealing with Concussion Lawsuits. [URL='https://twitter.com/flugempire'][B]Greg Flugaur[/B] @flugempire[/URL] BTM: OU contacts believe B12 Reform will happen...numbers will grow by 2 for now...[B]UC/UCONN will finally get their votes by end of Summer.[/B] [URL='https://twitter.com/flugempire'][B]Greg Flugaur[/B] @flugempire[/URL] BTM: However, New and ongoing TV Media contracts with "New B12" would fall behind other P5 confs...highly probable. BTM: [B]Controlled Implosion will assure B12 schools who do not have a seat with other P5 conferences a seat at P5 table with restructured B12.[/B] BTM: No one believes OU & Texas will willfully wreck their relationship by keeping status quo in place for another 8 years. .....BTM: Then UCF candidacy to further B12 Expansion becomes chalk BTM: If Texas pulls back from Reform (EXP/CCG) then next step will be Texas & OU working with TV partners on controlled B12 implosion. BTM: UCF candidacy to B12 upcoming years will be dependent on relationship of FSU/Miami with ESPN. If ESPN makes FSU "whole" with ACCN..... [B]BTM: BU damage...it has only made the candidacies of UCONN/UC even more chalk.[/B] BTM: OU Contacts - BU, more than ever, will be pro expansion in light of what has happened. They have no other potential landing in 8 years BTM: OU Contacts scoff at notion Baylor would receive death penalty, nor would they ever be dismissed from B12. BTM: We don't have info on changes...it's not money or length of contract, but it has to do with flexibility. We don't know what that means. BTM: FOX is willing partner...FOX does want something in return. FOX wants some changes to their portion of B12 Tier 1 contract. BTM: FOX won't stop the creation of B12N...It's up to ESPN to negotiate with FOX on many B12 3rd Tier Contracts. BTM:7 of 10 B12 schools recieve so few $ on TV part of their 3rd Tier Contracts...FOX will retain licensing part of many of those contracts BTM: No one expects B12 will grow by 4 in this expansion at this time. Possible growth to 14 in 3-4 years if B12N successful at 12.. Greg Flugaur @flugempire BTM: Colorado State is BYU's shadow. CSU candidacy is only breathing if B12 goes to 14 in future and if BYU can't make it work with B12. BTM: Memphis is not being discussed as candidate. Houston has no traction. BTM: Most internal traction among B12 Presidents (not majority yet..but most traction among combo's) UCONN/Cincy. This has not changed. BTM: Data will be presented this week...data will not surprise many B12 Presidents. Cincy-UCONN-BYU-UCF data will be good to decent. BTM: ESPN/Texas final decision makers..OU contacts say momentum is with EXP & CCG with 8 B12 schools. BTM: Expansion with CCG still most likely. B12N won't be built overnight. FOX will play ball on giving up 3rd tier TV rights w B12 schls BTM:4 options for Big 12 coming 8 years. Most likely to least. 1) Reform 2) Controlled Implosion 3) Non Controlled implosion 4) Status Quo Greg Flugaur @flugempire All following tweets are from BTM - Long conversation over the weekend.
