Big 12 in 2016

This is the dude of wv. He has no sources. Total contrived peace. Read the comments section at the bottom. He actually plants his own comments. Shows how contrived all these internet articles are.

I've read that and I agree with you. There are some facts on TV media legal stuff mixed in but the article is total bunk.

Something is happening at 10:40 ET this morning but I think it might be a scheduled football presser. Not sure it's going to the be the announcement.

Jed Demuesy this morning from 12.
Source: Today (Monday) the Big 12 will announce they have narrowed down their list of teams they're considering. UC will be on the list.

They make perfect sense. Look at Louisville and their investment prior to getting a seat at the table. Look at what UC is trying to do with Nippert and 5/3rd. The only problem is that with smaller schools in smaller conferences, they will never see the payback in their investment with the inequality of TV revenue. Fresno also did not make themselves into a national joke by lobbying for a seat that they would not get.

Obviously those are the 2 PUBLIC Texas universities - interesting, IF this is true, UT doesn't seem to be able to get either TCU or Baylor to support Houston, Again IF, this is true,that's a lot of wood to chop to get Houston to 8.

Houston's not getting to eight ever. No one outside of Texas is going to touch them for this round of expansion. The other school's aren't stupid. They know exactly what Texas is trying to do here.

GSwaim 2h2 hours ago Houston no longer in the two team picture, with only votes from #UT and #TexasTech.

No other team having two? Does that mean the UTexas voting bloc is smaller than we thought? Or does it mean GSwaim doesn't have the full story?

If anyone tweets/twitters, could you ask him if he knows who are the seven for BYU and who are the six for UC? I only see public Twitter feeds by opening the pages on my browser.
