Gallogly is a war time president. As in the Big 12 is going to war against the Pac 12. If the Big 12 can pry Colorado free from the Pac 12 they feel they can add the Arizona schools.

They have to have viable (and valuable options) lined up for expansion before sitting down at the table with ESPN/Fox.

Nobody is going to vote no. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B]‏ @theDudeofWV[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/978451188646629376']1h1 hour ago[/URL] In regards to B12 expansion we all need to think like TV execs & accountants & not fans. The Big 12 would welcome Colorado back in a NY minute because it means survival. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B]‏ @theDudeofWV[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/978451951351418880']1h1 hour ago[/URL] As for Colorado the financial need is there to look at a move. It depends on what the Big 12 can get from ESPN/Fox with additions from the P12. As always the key is profit differential. How much of an increase in revenues justifies the pain of the move? Thats TDB. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B]‏ @theDudeofWV[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/978452848601190403']1h1 hour ago[/URL] All I’m saying is the Big 12 plans to target P12 schools prior to the exclusive window with ESPN/Fox closing on the current TV deal. They need 2-4 more schools for the next TV contract. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B]‏ @theDudeofWV[/URL] [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/978453314915438592']1h1 hour ago[/URL] If the P12 continues on the downward trend then it gets easier. Big 12 schools don’t see the P12 as a home because of the drastic loss in T3 revenue they would see as partners in the P12N.

Dude is explaining tonight that somehow Big 12 is in strong enough position to lure CO, AZ schools from PAC, but yet if they fail to lure P5 schools Big 12 will fold before next Media negotiations. Yep, that should sell well and give PAC targets confidence to move.

Some of those schools are operating in the red athletically. As shaky as the B12’s landscape has been, PAC is at a significant financial disadvantage—which is how the B1G landed Maryland [/QUOTE]
