DW on the radio right now. Here is what he said:

Not surprised with Conf movement

Thinks the fans get hurt

Change is not good for fans

It is all about $

Years from now people may regret it

The only thing that is certain is uncertainty

Positioning the institution for the better

The Western teams are completely committed to the BE. The $ are better here as well as the exposure.

Not one comment there that suggests we won't be on the outside looking in

If ACC locks down a GOR Monday with these 3 rumored adds, then the next Coference to be raided will be Big 12.

There going to be 5~ 16 team conferences, in next 5-7 years, the question remains who will be in the Big 4 ACC or Big 12.

If ACC gets grant of rights I could see Big 12 dissolving with UT going independent with same agreement ND has with ACC (because of Longhorn Network/ESPN), OU & Kansas going to B1G, OSU & WVU to SEC to give west/east team, TTech, Baylor, TCU, and KSt going Pac12 with Iowa St left out. IF Texas gets out of Longhorn then they end up in B1G, OU in SEC, and OSU in PAC 12 with either Baylor or TCU out. (more likey TCU)

The 5th either ACC or the new Big East MWC combo with a few additions. Best bet IMO, for USF is for more ACC teams to go.

Big 12 also has a GOR. If the big 12 and ACC both have a GOR why so the big 12 any more likely than the ACC to get raided next?

Next could be tomorrow or in 12 years from now. If you dont break up NC/Va schools you never will and to get to 4 -16s its Big 12 that goes away.

Confirmed by other media that #Big12 and TV partners in talks to add new teams and get same or more money for them as current members do.

Yes!

When all this started, we didn't want movement to occur. Now, the more movement the better our chances of continuing to sit at the big boy table.

Here's an interesting article that metions USF as a possible add (paired with either Lousville, FSU, and UCF) for the Big 12.

Personally, I would rather be in the Big 12 with FSU. That would be fantastic.

Go Bulls!
