Jeez that UNC TD call was horrible, even for ACC refs standards.
I wonder which Ref crew had that game

Barry Switzer says it was a mistake to let TCU into the Big 12, cuz it made it harder for OU. He also says they should vote to keep Houston out so they can plunder the city of Houston's recruits, instead of risking UH rising to legitimacy.

Is the B12 going to add BYU and Cincy today?

Big 12 leaders are stupid, but I just don't know why you would hold a press conference to announce you're doing nothing.

Looks like the Big12 got strong armed by the TV networks not to add members.

They weren't ever gonna let Houston in...
What does adding Houston do? Doesn't add TVs. Doesn't add a new market. Doesn't expand the Big XII's footprint. All it does is water down the conference even more, and adds another mouth to feed from the recruiting base.
Chip Brown says they're not going to expand... Which means they'll probably announce they're adding Cincinnati and BYU at 5:30.

we can't ever leave it up to the officials. We already know how everyone feels about Miami

UH doesn't add a new market, but it would help TV ratings in the market.

The Fox TV people basically said they aren't ponying up money to pay schools that would possibly be added. Don't blame them at all.

And the Big 12 is going to continue to sit on their hands until the conference collapses. It doesn't make much sense.

But seriously I think the worst thing the Big 12 could've done was put their fate entirely into the networks. When espn decided they didn't want to pay big money into the Big East they just pulled the plug and killed the conference altogether.
This is the same thing. The Big 12 is only in existence today because of ESPN & the Longhorn Network network.

The big 12 made their own bed by running schools off.

What are there any drawbacks to them not expanding? Whats the big deal with them only having 10 teams? I guess I don't see the point of adding teams, especially a team like cinci.

The TV networks have to pay the conference more money if additional schools are added. Fox said they aren't paying for said teams, so it was over at that point

Will be interested to see what happens from here... The Big XII is dying, slowly and publicly.
Networks refused to pay more because there's nobody available for expansion that moves the needle.
The conference is going to dissolve sooner than later. Curious to see where everyone ultimately ends up.
Fox refusing to pay now with hopes Texas ends up in the Pac?
