Big 12 in 2016

[blackattack]

Nothing to advance? Does that mean you think they've already decided not to expand or who will get invites?

Here's something they should advance..............how about the Big12 member schools voting to expel Texas so they can have a REAL conference.

The way the line of questioning so far for media days is going, it's Baylor, Baylor and more Baylor and Bowlsby's looking really bad on it right now. Here's the presser schedule:

Combining two comments, maybe the vote is to evict Baylor from the conference? Then they could add three to get to 12.

[Lobot]

All kinds of smoke on this right now from Bowlsby They may actually expand after all. Also Houston met with the Pac 12

@McMurphyESPN 34m34 minutes ago UH AD to Larry Scott: I am in SF want to meet? Scott: OK. UH AD: Can we join Pac-12? Scott: No. UH: We discussed expansion w/Pac-12

Just filed to CBS Sports: UH AD says "œno substance" to implication that meeting with Scott was a pitch meeting. œ"Pac-12 not expanding."

ACC Network to launch for 2019 is a 20 year deal and the ACC also extended their conference GOR through 2035-36.

Here's hoping the timing bodes well to influence Big 12 presidents

From ESPN: "When the ACC Network revenues are included, the ACC will be very competitive with the upper tier [Big Ten and SEC] of the Power 5 leagues," a source said.

With the ACC Network, and the extension of their GOR until 2036 (which includes Notre Dame), this officially makes the Big 12 the poor outcast of the Power 5 Conferences. Remember all of the comments we have read in recent months by Big 12 coaches and AD's hinting that the Big 12 would expand if there were strong candidates available (i.e. Florida State, Clemson, Miami) ??
In reality that was never going to happen anyway, but this ACC deal puts that idea to rest basically forever.

Wuz up Lobot? Everything I am hearing through very unreliable sources says BYU and UH are likely to get invited with UC finishing a close 3rd but not invited. Have you heard anything yet today that would lead us to believe otherwise?

Still BYU and either UH or UC. I can not see West Virginia voting if it only includes two schools that are even further away. Only because of WVU am I still holding my breath for UC's chances.

[Chewbacca2099]

Sounds like there is a conference call with reporters around 5:30EST... hopefully they say yes we are expanding or no and get this over with

[Chewbacca2099]

Listen here maybe? - http://www.big12sports.com/mediaPort...d=0&id=1724477

[ucjay99]

So.... nothing again.

[Chewbacca2099]

I listened... no news really.. .we are considering expansion candidates basically... we will continue to discuss and decide at a future date. Typical Big12

[Lobot]

I wasn't listening but apparently the audio on that call went dead. I'm going to guess overload.
