      Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

        • Writing like Dick Harmon seems to be the natural evolution of internet expansion gurus.

              A school that doesn't get much discussion but actually is a dark horse to get in B12 if BYU and UH don't happen: Temple.
              My source tells me Temple has been quietly climbing the ranks and has plead a great case.
              Expands footprint greatly. Bridges gap between WVU and Uconn. Offers everything Pitt has plus a football team!

                          Don't underestimate what happened here, ESPN and Fox both chose the Sports Business Journal, a widely respected high end publication for industry sources, to fire a shot across the Big 12's bow on Monday morning, a time perfectly designed to attract wide media attention. This wasn't just private disagreement, this was a public threat of war designed to send a clear message to the Big 12: expand at your own risk.

                          • These guys are such assholes. Just invite BYU already.
                            Will donate kidney for B12 membership.

                            • I know I am bias, but if BYU gets into the Big 12, I would put BYU behind Oklahoma and Texas as far as national recognition.

                              Who else would be above BYU??

                                From that article..

                                What would these four schools, Houston, Cincinnati, Memphis, and BYU -- sell their TV rights for on the open market right now if they were a standalone conference? Maybe $5 million total? At the absolute peak, they'd be worth $10 million a year, and that's honestly way too much given present market conditions.
                                Somebody help me out here-- how much does BYU make per game w its current ESPN deal?
