Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1708150, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago Who wants some Big 12 tidbits prior to the meetings? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago The Baylor scandal has caused a major shift in the Big 12's thinking on expansion. Expansion is now possible without a network. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago That's a big shift in the Big 12's thinking. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago But if the Big 12 expands without a network the criteria flips. Strength of program becomes most important metric instead of market. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago Also if the Big 12 does expand its 14. Two now and two later. P5 schools are targeted for the second round. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago Big 12 has 2 ACC schools & 2 PAC 12 schools on the wish list for round 2. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago Chances of Big 12 expansion now at 60-40 against. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2h2 hours ago @TAFKASirThinks Expansion - if it happens now - does so because the conf is worried about Baylor. They need 10 to keep TV contact. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @BaylorFight Concern over more BU violations & the conference TV contract that says unless B12 has 10 members the TV deal is void. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @BaylorFight About expansion. Don't get mad at me. I'm just passing on the current vibe. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @BaylorFight The B12 is worried about NCAA violations and sanctions on BU. Expansion provides a buffer should any penalties be serious. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @BaylorFight I'll be blunt. The B12 is worried BU will get hit so hard by the Feds & NCAA that the effect will be a defacto death penalty. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago @BaylorFight Expansion ensures the Big 12 has enough members to survive severe sanctions on Baylor. [/QUOTE]
