This is starting to look and sound like dancing with the stars.

It it's 8-2 I couldn't care any less - 6-0 on the other hand isn't nearly as exciting.

It was 1052 -1046 when I voted...not that these fan polls matter

As for Big 12 Presidents, I think it's closer to UC leads ECU 7-0.

UC leads ECU by only 6 votes

Maybe someone should tell this guy how to spell Cincinnati. It might make him a little more credible.

Per Greg Flugaur as he tweets an info dump from his source at OU (he gave the source location no names):

"Most likely block to get eight votes includes UC, along with UConn, BYU, and Houston"

Per Greg Flugaur as he tweets an info dump from his source at OU (he gave the source location no names):

"Ok St promoting UC too, along with Memphis" Tweet said "people (a person) at Ok State is promoting UC and Memphis"

At least part of the negotiations pertain to B12's willingness to accept reduced ESPN/Fox payouts for the addition of 4 teams.

Also saying there's more than 2 voting factions... so it isn't just Texas vs. the rest as we thought. My guess is the western schools like Kansas and K-State and possibly Iowa State are in favor of CSU/BYU or Memphis because they are closer to their side over someone like UConn but who knows anymore.

[Chewbacca2099]

Fluguar is dumping some more details right now for those interested. It's about the FOX/ESPN negotiations. Sounds like the Big12 could be willing to not expand but the networks won't give them enough money to hold it back. I think we end up with 2 expansion teams... hopefully we make the cut

Can't wait for the thread, Big 12 in 2017!

Are you referring to a 2 or 4 team expansion proposal? Or is that the number of votes a school has and the horsetrading determines if need 2 or 4 to get to quorum on each school?

Either or. Horsetrading is where it's at. I think we'll get to needed amount. Not sure about BYU. Houston gets there if the trading is successful. If it is 14 I really have no idea who's 14 but I would think UConn based on sports and academics combination. Academically UConn is actually the leader of the bunch unless you want to throw Tulane in. Can't remember if I mentioned this on here but Tulane was in the final 3 during the last go around in the Big 12 because of the AAU affiliation and they took WVU and TCU instead on the combination of sports and academics.
