B12 TV contract was signed w/ESPN in Sept. 2012 - what's your source?

There were 10 teams then, the same teams they have now. What is your source that the contract requires 12 teams and a CCG?

The Big 12 simply can't afford to add BYU (Best insight)

Very well written article. It explains very clearly why the B12 won't expand

If cash is the problem, few offer the financial clout BYU brings.

Of course it's been a HUGE issue. Anyone that has followed expansion knows that

So you're saying there's a chance?

The article begs the question: can Y football join while keeping our ESPN deal?

BYU should propose this right now

The problem with your idea is the need for a second team to make twelve teams.

It sounds like 12 won't be a magic number for long.

Yes...with a scheduling agreement.

This is a much more likely scenario IMHO.

This article, to me, clearly states why they must expand.

Great point. I've said before that if I were OU and Okla St, I'd look into

OU and OSU have signed away their TV rights to the Big 12 even if they

Expansion doesn't prevent poaching.

You're right, but sitting at 10 members invites it.

+1. And so does doing the same things the Big 12 has been doing...

If the SEC or B1G is going to make OU an offer it can't refuse...

He's wrong about how much B12 third tier brings

fleaman

7/31/14 7:08am

The problem is that the revenue they get from 3rd tier rights won't increase

SEC renegotiated with ESPN after expansion

fleaman

7/31/14 8:57am

ESPN/Fox have insinuated that they won't renegotiate the value with expansion

jreid191

7/31/14 9:17am

ESPN renegotiated with B12 in 2012. What's your source?

fleaman

Unless BYU deals outside their TV deal. Boom fixed
