Message: [QUOTE="CoastAtlantic, post: 1766651, member: 5174"] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762822255055343616']13m13 minutes ago[/URL] ESPN/Fox would rather the B12 not expand. 12 is understandable & justifiable. They accept that. 14 not so much.

Actual TV ratings for football.

UH is also acceptable to ESPN/Fox.

McMurphy had them as the early leader in the Clubhouse when you said BYU was all but in...

BYU is still all but in... Unless they blow it.

[URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/762823420472090627']10m10 minutes ago[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/Mike_ohio26']@Mike_ohio26[/URL] WVU will try & trade a vote for UH to UT & TT in return for a no vote on UC.

That's why I list UC as #13.
