If true, this would be a horrible deal for ISU, and several others that won't find a soft landing spot. A better outcome would be lower pro rata, expand by at least two and say goodbye to marquee programs and P5 status. A best outcome would be lower or no pro rata, extend GOR and still say goodbye to P5 status.

The presser today from the Big 12 meetings is supposed to begin at 6:30 ET. If they get stuck in a smoke filled room together it could always be longer.

Kirk Bohls has sources at Texas and Houston saying nothing will happen at all.

I saw a tweet with a printing of a UC Big12 banner someone was making that was ordered from the president's office. It looks like it has been removed now. Could be a hoax I guess

I saw that too, looks like a fake to me. Here it is.

I don't think they would do that while we're still in the AAC (2017 to B12 at the earliest). Looks good though.

Someone's yanking everyone's chain. There's now a fake Alabama/B12 logo on-line.

Jake Trotter has a short article on ESPN that says the decision is no expansion at this time. His article was posted around 4pm today.

CBS sports reporting no expansion as well.

What a pointless and embarrassing exercise.

[bearcatjd]

If no expansion happens, then the only word to describe the B12 presidents/ads/coaches is IDIOTS!

[Lobot]

Well if you believe Chip Brown or Pete Thamel it's not happening. Still 2 hours until the press conference but doesn't look good.

Seeing a lot of stuff flying about UC doing everything right and only had 7 votes despite making a great pitch.

Almost doesn't count, though it feels like a hand grenade was tossed in our general direction.
