Big 12 to expand...or not

[Jake]

If it's good news for BYU, it's good news for at least one other school.

Unless they are getting the Notre Dame deal while expansion is on hold.

 

[PhatOrange]

Houston and BYU ?

 

[Alsacs]

I can't see BYU being added by the Big XII. They are just too toxic because of outside protesting.

The Big XII will likely do nothing. If they add 2 Houston/Cincinnati, if its 4 probably a Florida school and UConn.

 

[MaxwellCuse]

I will be very surprised if the Big 12 expands today. If UCONN is one of the expansion schools I will be shocked.

no way they add without taking cincy.

they should take byu too, but the liberals will have a field day on them.

so sad.

I'm wondering just how many there are in TX, OK, and WV. I think it's more of a scheduling deal.

But either way, I think they are staying as is.

Isn't the Pope watching this? (He's hoping for a pulled pork sandwich, at least that's what my sources say)

 

[MaxwellCuse]

The meeting is over. The Texas and Texas Tech presidents have left the building. Next up comes the announcement. Unless there's a leak, don't expect to hear anything until 6:30.

 

[NKR1978]

This has been making the internet rounds.

 

[MaxwellCuse]

The WVU Twitter Mafia is now being heard from. Mhver3 is first up: Claims his "sources" say it is Cincy and BYU.

Think I'll stick with "no expansion" for the moment.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

It's not a done deal until the Dude of WV says so.

[oldpinepoint]

Rumors say BYU and Cincinnati,

But now say no expansion. Big 12 implodes when GOr is up

 

[Frozen]

It's official: Alabama to the Big 12.

They probably talked about the concept for the process that would drive the potential execution for expansion operations.

Conceptually of course.

That conference is a hot mess.

I agree, it's done when GOR is up

Must have used Powerpoint.

Bummer. Can't believe it happened again.

The options before you for today's vote are to expand by adding two new institutions, to expand by adding four next institutions, or hold pat at 12 teams ... er 10 teams ... 10 teams.

Gregory Fenves, President U of T - Why don't we just make more money?

Other presidents - Yeah, more money. That's my vote.
