We're just a hop, skip and jump away by a quick boat/plane ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big 12 hired a couple firms to help them with the TV network and expansion. The first firm is Navigate Research. On their blog in January in a post called "Why Do Conferences Expand?" The have a bullet point: http://www.navigateresearch.com/navigate-research-blog/why-do-conferences-expand The second company is Bevilacqua Helfant Ventures. If you remember back a few years ago they were hired by the Big East to negotiate their TV contract. So both companies at least have good knowledge of USF. http://thisisuconncountry.com/2016/02/big-12-has-hired-two-firms-to-develop-conference-tv-network-vet-expansion-candidates/ Not sure that's the company I would hire...

I agree. If the Big 12 wants to survive they have to expand in a big way and not in these nibbling increments. If they don't, then when the ACC gets gutted by the B1G the best of the AAC will be scooped up by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
