The caveat is it has to be even numbers.

Mister_Solenday ‏@Mr_Solenday · 6h @theDudeofWV In your opinion, would a UCF/USF combo be more or less valuable than UCF by itself? Also curious why you have UConn so high. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @Mr_Solenday For the Big 12 its either or not both. UCONN is valued higher by the networks because of ad rates & the value they add in hoops Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @Mr_Solenday Let me add this... for schools without a long history of success in football the hottest commodity at the time is the leader. Mister_Solenday ‏@Mr_Solenday · 6h @theDudeofWV I would have thought that the pair would be valued as travel partners and that Uconn was too far flung. Always interesting. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h @Mr_Solenday What does a travel partner mean? The Big 12 is only interested in making money. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 7h Keep in mind what I said about BYU & UCF and their chances of being added to the Big 12. Martin borg ‏@Martyaborg · 6h @theDudeofWV help me out meaning the part you said that byu UFC are next or that it will be a while before the are added part? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @Martyaborg Right now IF the B12 decided to expand BYU & UCF would be invited. But right now the B12 has no interest in expanding @Poca_Ashworth What if I told you the very concept of a CCG was being re-examined? High risk & little reward.

What if Fox & ESPN agree to pay. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B]@theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/479618137201979392']6h[/URL] Right now NONE of the conditions required for Big 12 expansion equate to true. [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV'][B]Christopher Lambert[/B]@theDudeofWV [/URL] · [URL='https://twitter.com/theDudeofWV/status/479618397873774594']6h[/URL] Just remember, in the coming days, who gave you correct info & not rumors. Info confirmed by Oliver Luck & the Big 12. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 7h There is a path that leads to expansion for the Big 12 sooner rather than later. That path will be determined in August. Mountaineer Steve ‏@Mountaineer_Ste · 6h @theDudeofWV Sorry for missing it, what is that Path and why August? Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @Mountaineer_Ste August is when the 350 FBS schools vote on legislation to give big 5 autonomy & B12/ACC legislation on CCG. Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV @Mountaineer_Ste Necessity... the path is need i.e. CCG or votes and/or Fox/ESPN paying for expansion. [/QUOTE]
