a walk down memory lane RE expansion announcements:

Hard to argue against that

SUAVO

Nice. What was the time frame for Big 12 additions?

BabyJ24

7/26/16 9:51am

TCU invite was mid october and WVU invite was end of October, I believe

SUAVO

7/26/16 9:52am

So after their regularly scheduled meetings in October? We may have to wait

BabyJ24

7/26/16 9:56am

Not necessarily. TCU was invited before that, but the timeline right before that

SUAVO

7/26/16 10:10am

It had NOTHING to do with the LHN, which aTm president admitted later

SoldierHorn

7/26/16 10:21am

I'm just going off the timeline that wikipedia has

SUAVO

7/26/16 10:23am

ok but you included...

SoldierHorn

7/26/16 10:30am

Ya, I know. that's just what is said on Wikipedia. Probably hasn't been changed

SUAVO

7/26/16 10:59am

aTm had decided to leave the conference...

SoldierHorn

7/26/16 11:07am

Sounds like 80k tore a page out of that book

SUAVO

7/26/16 11:56am

If by "flex their muscle" you mean pay millions of dollars

Tulane adds nothing but academics

SoldierHorn

7/26/16 10:22am

New Orleans... the #1 recruiting hot-bed city

Dissenter

7/26/16 11:30am

Recruiting "hotbed" is not the reason to expand...

SoldierHorn

7/26/16 1:45pm

Oh, I don't disagree. That's just something else they bring to the table

Dissenter

7/26/16 5:13pm

Could mean scheduling too.

Did ACC add Pitt and Syracuse on the same day?

mannheimadler

7/26/16 10:03am

Timing also depends on Plan A working out versus contingencies. See PAC

boscatar

7/26/16 10:06am

Plan A, B, C, and D should all be BYU and then whoever else they decide on.

BabyJ24

7/26/16 10:09am

Again, context matters. CU would not have been added by itself

SoldierHorn

7/26/16 10:29am

Interesting stuff. I'm not sure what you mean by the B12 flexing its muscle

Bob Vance

7/26/16 10:12am

I don't think that is what it means...

CoachSpeak

7/26/16 12:11pm

And there is by implication a threat to avoid scheduling them.

Bob Vance

7/26/16 12:21pm

Maybe...

CoachSpeak

7/26/16 1:23pm

You've lost me. I get the metaphor and all, but how exactly does the Big 12 do

Bob Vance

7/26/16 1:39pm

The point is....

CoachSpeak

7/26/16 3:07pm

Ultimately, demeanor is irrelevant, if that really is what you are driving

Bob Vance

7/26/16 3:16pm

Demeanor is only part of it...

CoachSpeak

7/26/16 3:43pm

"official" dates dont really say anything without context

SoldierHorn

7/26/16 10:19am

No way in Heck...what is heck lol!

LVCougarFan

7/26/16 10:52am

If we have learned anything it's that the Big12 doesn't do things like everyone else.

MacGyver

7/26/16 11:02am

Utah knew they were in the Pac 12 after west regional

El Boricua

Memory Lane been happening for a long time ...

1956-ish Texas Tech leaves Border conference...

SoldierHorn

7/26/16 11:31am

Why didnt you include Big 12 expansion announcement timelines?

NacoCoug

7/26/16 11:44am

i had a client appt and had to post rather than keep writing

nashty

7/26/16 11:50am

just saying, probably the most important context/history to consider

NacoCoug

7/26/16 11:58am

So expansion began right around the time of "The Curse Of Max" ?

Gerald-DeGroot

7/26/16 12:16pm

Question: could the announcement be waiting on BYU bot meetings/ acceptance

StalwartBraveTrue

7/26/16 5:30pm

I don't see BYU BOT holding things up. You could be right though

BabyJ24

7/26/16 6:35pm

I dont think they will make that mistake again
