ESPN has a fiduciary responsibility to protect its investment in the Big 12. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/774324522090717184']13h13 hours ago[/URL] ESPN is merely advising the B12 as to what additions do not dilute the Big 12 product. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B] ‏@theDudeofWV [/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/774324781990735872']13h13 hours ago[/URL] Certain members of the "Memphis" media are trying to coverup their failure by claiming ESPN somehow killed UM's B12 chances.

Each is slightly different.

That changes tonight. My source said he has a bunch for me later.

No dice.
