Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 978610, member: 1737"] Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 6h B1G wants a small majority, say 60%, to force changes that smaller schools can’t afford. Transic_nyc ‏@Transic_nyc · 4h @theDudeofWV Why would the @©© vote for something they know would force some of its members out of the P5? That's the part that doesn't jive Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @Transic_nyc I don’t have all the details yet. Monday. TyBull ‏@TyBull · 3h @theDudeofWV So would the Big "Backfill" with G5 public larger schools? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @TyBull Dont have all the details but I think they are thinking about voiding ACC & B12 GoR by having schools like TCU, Pitt & BC drop out. Geoffrey Mitchell ‏@geoffmitchell · 45m @theDudeofWV @TyBull TCU has deep pockets BEFORE big 12$ Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 41m @geoffmitchell @TyBull No specific schools were mentioned. I just named a few private schools in both ACC & B12. Geoffrey Mitchell ‏@geoffmitchell · 40m @theDudeofWV @TyBull more like Wake BC and NW Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 38m @geoffmitchell @TyBull look at the dept of edu report on athletics & pick the private schools with the lowest revenues & budgets. Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 47m No specific schools were named. Right now it’s just B1G thinking outside the box. If one school leaves the GoR is voided - or so they think. Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 46m First the B1G would need either the P12 or SEC to play along. Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 45m Secondly when I ran it by a B12 source they said the conf would just replace the member & the networks would comply. Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 45m So I’m going to run this down but it seems like much to do over nothing. Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 25m So why is the B1G so anxious to expand? UMD & RU added huge markets? Are they looking to upgrade the football product or what? Murr ‏@MurrDCU · 24m @theDudeofWV more markets, more programming, more money, transition from regional to national. thinking UConn/UVA next two? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @MurrDCU Methinks they are stuck. [/QUOTE]
