So hearing now that Fox supporting B12 expansion and ESPN pushing against.

But Fox telling B12 if ESPN doesn't want their contract on next renewal then fix would be more than happy to take it all.

And surprise surprise: Fox wants 4 teams. BYU and 3 in the east.

But fox will settle for BYU, 2 eastern teams and Houston.

Fox also offering to keep pro rata in the contract in case B12 wants to expand again later on.

But fox wants at least 12 more years and a new GOR

Fox trying to persuade B12 to add a Florida school. Wants exposure for Fox in that market

Fox prefers B12 to add BYU, UC, Uconn, and UCF.

Fox executives telling B12 that if we expand then Pac12 will be the next to expand with at least 2 G5s.

[URL='https://twitter.com/']@MH ver3[/URL] just merge with the AAC already and call it a day.

[URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3  [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/                                          /status/760631535531913216']11m11 minutes ago[/URL]
[URL='https://twitter.com/DocBunyan']@DocBunyan[/URL] you mean like the ACC did with the BigEast?

[URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3  [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/                                          /status/760631881910087681']8m8 minutes ago[/URL]
Fox telling B12 that adding those specific schools maximizes their market penetration from available candidates.

[URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3  [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/                                          /status/760632017784545280']8m8 minutes ago[/URL]
And those are the same four that the research firm suggested for maximum market coverage as well.

I have one source telling me Cincy has formally told the AAC they are withdrawing from the conference.

[URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3  [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/                                          /status/760632667113160704']6m6 minutes ago[/URL]
Haven't been able to verify that with my AAC(former BigEast guy that always has good info) contact though-he's been very quiet.

[URL='https://twitter.com/'][B]MH ver3[/B] ‏@MH ver3  [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/                                          /status/760632894012481536']5m5 minutes ago[/URL]
Was told this happened today at AAC meetings. Still trying to get verification on this. Stay tuned.

So in 5 minutes I've had 10 different people pm me that UC has indeed told AAC they are leaving. Still awaiting word from my AAC guy...

ME: Hmmm...the Civil Conflict might live on...;)
