Its not one or the Other, its about maximizing $$$

YOu got a group West Va, Iowa State, kanas state and Baylor who needs the big 12, they have no place to go.

Oklahoma, texas and Kansas are national brands and all would be picked up. (but texas wants nothing to do with the SEC PERIOD)

Oklahoma is intrigue with the Big 10 (as is Kansas)

No one wants to be the one who breaks the GOR and be subject to fines. They were hoping that kicking Baylor or expansion would defacto require re approval and that would allow folks to leave.. The schools mentioned about expansion don't want to sign up if the prestiege schools are all leaving. LOTS of folks playing poker.

Any chance the B12 expands today? -- Red Hokie 10/17/2016 10:38AM

So basically, no candidates were attractive enough to launch a network -- Hokie Bird 10/17/2016 9:44PM

They already have a network. -- EDGEMAN 10/18/2016 10:49AM

IMO,they portrayed a vote not to extend the GoR as a decision not to expand ** -- daveinop 10/18/2016 09:04AM

Unless/until something fundamentally changes equation, expect nothing -- marcbvtgm 10/17/2016 8:40PM

I'll add a third. Per ESPN, "Boren acknowledged -- daveinop 10/18/2016 11:59AM

Sure. TV's cooperation (or lack thereof) is a huge part of the equation. ** -- marcbvtgm 10/18/2016 12:07PM

Couldn't swap Indiana for Purdue, so no expansion. ** -- manassashoo 10/17/2016 6:12PM

I heard they had Ohio State, Michigan, and Bama lined up... -- reestuart 10/18/2016 08:43AM

Can you link those findings with no reference to line or page to back it up ** -- 93HokieDoug 10/18/2016 7:32PM

It's all there. In the Maryland courts! ** -- reestuart 10/19/2016 09:19AM

Expansion to date has been largely about fear of losing a target -- Vippie1 10/17/2016 12:54PM

Expansion is a secondary issue. Extending the GOR is the real issue. Watch -- ColumbusHokie 10/17/2016 11:18AM

There's nothing to watch. Not happening. The game is already on. ** -- marcbvtgm 10/17/2016 8:42PM

Its not one or the Other, its about maximizing $$$ -- Mercury 10/17/2016 1:00PM

Why would OK or TX agree to extend the GOR? -- Mr. Touchdown 10/17/2016 11:30AM

There are lots of reasons for them to extend the GOR. -- ColumbusHokie 10/17/2016 11:50AM

None I've said for years they have no commitment to the B12 ** -- BigCrumpy 10/17/2016 11:38AM
