No Big 12 expansion

Postby skyscraper » Mon Oct 17, 2016 2:56 pm

Jake Trotter @Jake_Trotter
Filed to ESPN. No expansion. No candidate could generate supermajority.

Chip Brown @ChipBrownHD
No new members were added to the #Big12 during today's Big 12 Board of Directors meeting, multiple sources tell HornsDigest.com.

Good news for SMU. UH has to be feeling pretty bad right now.

They say no one got the 8 votes needed. Wonder if we got a vote at all.

I hope Cargo Gunki did not open his party supplies so he can return them and get his money back.

It is all about the money. The money trail is to extort Fox for $25 million per year per school. Who needs expansion when you can greatly increase revenues and do nothing.

Saved so much time this Expansion Cycle by ignoring the chances of Big 12 expansion. They never ever had the votes to admit any of these schools which should have been pretty obvious on their merits. The only way that it was remotely possible is if 8 teams went "all-in" and did a little horse-trading on 2 schools to admit

When momentum starts rolling downhill in recruiting-WATCH OUT.

I'm more interested in what you did with all your extra time.

The whole thing was just embarrassing for all of the schools whoring themselves out to the Big 10-2 but especially to the conference who never had any real desire to expand. Power 4.

Is anyone really the least bit surprised by this decision, or non-decision as it were

We got our presentation ready and hopefully some valuable feedback about the real perception of our program to use next time.

The Cinci folks are really angry about this, not so much that they didn't get it but rather they are just now realizing that they got played big time. They put a lot of time and energy into this.
