Being hurt by honor code/LGBT issues. Football only looking more likely. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762102547150667776']6h6 hours ago[/URL] UC is also short of the necessary 8 votes. So is UH. Don't expect a resolution before mid Oct. as lots of horse trading of votes will occur [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762102833005096961']6h6 hours ago[/URL] UCONN, CSU are the only realistic options for 14. Tulane also in the mix but the Green Wave would cause ESPN/Fox to throw a fit.

No expansion without Texas & Texas wants UH. Networks adamant about BYU too. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762103316264476673']6h6 hours ago[/URL] ESPN is pushing BYU hard. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762103492530020352']6h6 hours ago[/URL] UCONN being hurt by geography although WVU & KU want the Huskies to get basketball back in NY market. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762103708469583872']6h6 hours ago[/URL] Huggins would love to have WVU on the airwaves in NYC by any means possible. NYC exposure means hoops recruits. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762103933858881536']6h6 hours ago[/URL] CSU is still my sleeper. Great market, new facilities coming on line & the only addition with the chance to dominate their market. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762104231738347522']6h6 hours ago[/URL] UT & OU still secretly feuding over a potential network. OU wants one. UT wants to keep LHN. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762104498336755712']6h6 hours ago[/URL] UT will only agree to 14 if the GoR is not extended. Adding 2 only keeps extending the GoR on the table to at least match the LHN deal. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762104889325543424']6h6 hours ago[/URL] My opinion is this... Adding 4 is a simple money grab that means defections in 2024. Adding 2 means there is hope for the Big 12. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762105181999865856']6h6 hours ago[/URL] If the B12 adds 4 then WVU, TCU, Tech, OkST & KSU must win at least 9 games a year between now & 2024 to have a shot. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762105393795432448']6h6 hours ago[/URL] WVU should be ok... If they win. 8 win seasons though aren't going to get them a spot in the SEC or ACC. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762105444991115264']6h6 hours ago[/URL] So the time to win is now. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762105543389478912']6h6 hours ago[/URL] I'm not going to worry about it. 8 years is a long time. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762106101542359040']6h6 hours ago[/URL] New additions are not going to get a 50% share before 2025. At best they may be looking at a 40% cut in 2023. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762106361815728130']6h6 hours ago[/URL] I wonder how schools like UH and UC would be able to continue the massive subsidies they are pumping into athletics. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762106526962180096']6h6 hours ago[/URL] UCF is still alive.

Or possibly nothing [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL][URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762107965029646336']6h6 hours ago[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/angeraddict']@angeraddict[/URL] Its going to be either 2 or 4 from BYU, UC, CSU, UCONN & UH.
