Other schools in B12 not in Texas faction agree"

BTM: "It's clear that if a future can be carved out for B12 beyond 2024 ESPN will play little or no part in its future".

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "Boren is of 2 minds. (1) To save B12 beyond 2024 (2) If #1 can't happen..make sure OU has no hindrances in leaving Conference in "24"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "But Boren & Bowlsby have acknowledged where B12 stands with ESPN in pecking order..now..but even more importantly in 2025...dead last"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM:"So what is this new media that will want to distribute B12 content streaming on multiple different platforms? Who? Who the hell knows"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "It won't be ESPN. Disney just bought some parts of streaming company with the chance to but all of it in future"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "But ESPN tells B12 there is no future for any digital B12N."
If B12 survives it does so because of Google..Netflix..Hulu...somebody

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "ESPN makes their investment into ACC. ESPN goes in on 2nd part of B10 Tier 1&2 contract"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "This acknowledgement from leaders in B12 outside of Austin has changed the landscape on the ground in B12 offices"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "Boren got his CCG..now is going full throttle in expansion. Wanting to create attractive B12 for new customers in B12"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "This is about 2024.So what can Boren & Bowlsby do? Shake Schools,who are interested in joining B12, into showing what they bring in 24

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "Eyeing a future away from ESPN is daunting.But a future with ESPN past 2024 keeps B12 the most unstable conference in P5"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "Candidates for B12 expansion must show large fanbase. Must show decent media market. Must show decent Alumni numbers of participation"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "OU contacts believe BYU must make a public statement in regards to changing Honor Code. Must give B12 Presidents political cover"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "The change in Honor Code wording,if BYU decides to go in that direction,has to be public. So we will all know if BYU is stil candidate"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "Without the public statement, without the political cover for B12 Presidents, the BYU candidacy is dead in the water"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "OU Contacts, because of the need of B12 to create attractivness, value, without little or no ESPN beyond "24"...UCF is hot"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "All the negatives UCF had...ESPN not wanting P5 FL school outside of ACC/SEC (ACCN investment) is no longer negatives in eyes of B&B.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "FOX (if expansion has to head to 14) sees it best case scenario of UCF/UCONN/CINCY....now viable"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "So 2 questions remain.(1)Does BYU make a public change in Honor Code?
(2) Does Texas attempt to stop climb to 14 if UH/UCONN/UC/UCF"

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM: "This Big 12 expansion story is very difficult for ESPN to cover"

Who is BTM?  And who is Greg Flugaur?

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
The problem with Western Expansion (outside of BYU) it doesn't attract FOX for beyond 2024. B12 Presidents are aware of this...

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
And when BTM said ESPN is having troubles covering this story...he did not mean with ethics. It's a tough story.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
BTM also said Minnesota State expects a positive answer soon from NCHC. Expectations of realignment are sky high

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
Big 12 knows where it sits with ESPN (outside of Texas) and this truth has rattled some writers/bloggers... Sorry. It is what it is...

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire
Investments in Streaming is being made by FOX..ESPN..and others.  But B12 content at this time is not in plans for any of these investments

Yesterday B12 reviewed 2 schools powerpoint tele-applications. Today they did at least 3.

MHver3 @MHver3
Don't know every school that did them but do know 2 of them were Memphis and Boise.

 MHver3 @MHver3
I was also told Fedex CEO Frederick Smith was in on the Memphis teleconference and made a pitch for CCG sponsorship and conference branding

BTM is what Flugaur calls his anonymous source... Flugaur is one of the more prolific "pulling things out of their ass" Twitter people talking about the Big 12 Expansion.
