So my source tells me B12 is 30 days away from a decision on who to add. Expansion is going to happen now period.

[URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/758872141185941504']19h19 hours ago[/URL] UT will probably get their wish(and campus) with Houston getting in but it will come at a price. [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/758872299315441664']19h19 hours ago[/URL] LHN will be folded into a B12N when all current T3 deals expire. [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/758872646037610500']19h19 hours ago[/URL] New schools being added will take a loooong time to reach full payout share from B12. Ten years long.

Don't know if it will be enough. [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/758873047105286144']19h19 hours ago[/URL] USF and UCF also making lots of calls and trying to bargain in as well [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/758873212348305409']19h19 hours ago[/URL] But as of today it looks like UC, Uconn, BYU, and Houston. [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/758873333647618049']19h19 hours ago[/URL] BYU might be FB only at first but will transition to all sports eventually. [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/758873522957455363']19h19 hours ago[/URL] Lots of moving parts in BYU deal so if it falls through then CSU takes their place.

Let's call this the Houston-clause. [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/758875748627156992']18h18 hours ago[/URL] Now B12 could still decide to only add 2 but that's not likely at this point as all the TV negotiations are centered on 14 with 8 conf games [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/758876065200607234']18h18 hours ago[/URL] New additions will have no voting power for first 2 years then they will each be half a vote until fully vested. [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills'][B]nathanmills[/B] ‏@nathanmills [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills/status/758875987853455362']18h18 hours ago[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3']@MH ver3[/URL] thoughts on divisions? [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/758876873124302848']18h18 hours ago[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/nathanmills']@nathanmills[/URL] UT, BYU, UH, TT, ISU, OKST, and Kansas in one. OU, BU, TCU, WVU, UC, Uconn, Kstate in other. My guess based on rumors [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/759049369169657856']7h7 hours ago[/URL] Fox and ESPN offering a 17% increase over current contract if we only take 2 and remove pro rata clause. [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/759049529014554624']7h7 hours ago[/URL] Therefore 2 additions would net pro rata plus 17% but after that pro rata won't be an option. [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3 [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/MHver3/status/759049773215166466']7h7 hours ago[/URL] But B12 seems adamant about adding 4 ME: Big 12 putting a reevaluation clause on new members seems like the biggest load of BS I've ever heard so far. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
