Yormark for expansion only if it creates value and adds a fourth time zone.

Seems like Colorado probably isn't high on the list, but also seems like this is maybe walking back some expectations a bit.

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark was asked several times about expansion:

“ I love the composition of this conference. ... We don’t have to expand, only if it’s additive, only if it creates value and only if it gets us into a fourth time zone." 🧵

This always seemed like the logical move. And if UW and UO want to come along

I wonder if he's angling for UW/UO or nothing?

I still think the B1G is going after one or both of those.

Probably, but are they going to sit and flounder in the new PAC10 until that invite comes?

Its pronounced PAC 8.

I would have to think conversations are going on though.

With both the PAC10 and Big12 renegotiating media rights right now? Absolutely.

I think the B1G is still trying to determine if they want to stay at 16 or

I'm guessing maybe Stanford and one of Oregon/Washington. I just don't think they want to

They are on hold until the LA schools are fully engaged

I don't think so. I think the B1G found that they don't move the needle enough

Maybe not. I guess we'll see how it plays out.

That could be. However, USC & UCLA are likely pushing hard for...

One other possibility for the B1G is to continue to woo ND and then wait until

This would be my choice as a B1G school alum. UO and UW will always be available

I would hope the Big 12 would require a long and prohibitive GOR for them.

Bluforever

10/26/22 3:51pm

I would. Those are both huge brands that would increase the collective worth of the B12

Also not in the 4th time zone.

Utah to the MWC is going to be the gift that keeps on giving.

If the PAC expands and takes the guts out of the Big XII and BYU is left out

Is it really that impossible?

Sure anything is possible, but it’s more likely that UW and O leave for b10.

This and Utah being left out are equally as likely.
