Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 1833422, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago The rumor started by @flugempire is 100% false. Absolutely no basis in reality. The sad part is I shouldn't have to tell you that. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 29m29 minutes ago Days like today make me regret becoming involved in expansion. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 25m25 minutes ago Two things about the B12 TV contract that makes the rumors today impossible. 1/3. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 24m24 minutes ago The pro rata clause works both ways. Money can be subtracted from the contract as well. The GoR is the B12 not ESPN/Fox. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 24m24 minutes ago If the B12 has less than 10 members the TV contract is void. As in nobody gets anything. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 23m23 minutes ago So in order for the B12 to agree to let any member(s) leave they would first add members to ensure they had 10. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 22m22 minutes ago If they are going to let UT & OU leave they would add 4-6 and keep the cash knowing the TV contract would be significantly less in 2025. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 21m21 minutes ago If the Big 12 let OU & UT leave the B12 champs chances at making the playoffs would be next to zero. The conf would lose respect. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 20m20 minutes ago Texas would have to give up LHN to join any conference. UT athletics gives the academic side $7.5M in LHN money per year. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 20m20 minutes ago There's not a single conf network that pays $15m a year. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 19m19 minutes ago Plus this: why would the 8 members allow UT & OU to leave when the GoR binds them until 2025? What do they get? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 18m18 minutes ago How much money to sell their future? Nobody knows what the market conditions will be in 2025. Or who is in power. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 18m18 minutes ago Finally consider ESPN/Fox. They don't want to devalue their investment in the Big 12. They don't want consolidation to be that much closer. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 15m15 minutes ago @CincyBeerGuru ESPN & Fox are going to push back against B12 expansion & then give P5 money to a conf without UT & OU? You believe that? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 14m14 minutes ago @CincyBeerGuru You think Tech, OkST and KSU are going to be happy taking less money in a conf without P5 status? Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV @CincyBeerGuru Its not ESPN / Fox that grant P5 status. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 13m13 minutes ago I'm done talking this batshit rumor concerning the Big 12. I'm deeply disappointed anyone falls for it. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 10m10 minutes ago Fox Sports Prez Eric Shanks says expansion not the best path for Big 12. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6m6 minutes ago @ki676love ESPN & Fox want to maintain the current status. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6m6 minutes ago @HoneyRoyPalmer If ESPN / Fox want the GoR extended (and they do) then extend the TV contract with more money. Get it? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2m2 minutes ago Here's what's going on... The B12 is playing chess with ESPN/Fox. They want more money. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 2m2 minutes ago @HabibHaddad @HoneyRoyPalmer I'm glad Eric Shanks said what he did today. [/QUOTE]
