Do y'all 'Eers (really) want to expand?

[Buckaineer]

Expansion is primarily about making more revenues. That is imperative and can't be stressed enough.

The Big Ten and to a lesser degree SEC are generating higher revenues and will gradually pull further and further ahead of the BIG 12. Actually the Big Ten won't be all that gradually as they are going to be getting (from reports) $250,000,000 per year each year through 2023 for only half of their new contracts. They'll also get another major amount and expect to be paying out in the $40 to $50 million range per school starting in 2017.

They BIG 12 is going to be in the low $30 mil range paid out in 2017. Plus each team has tier 3 deals, but only UT's really keeps them on par or a little ahead of those Big Ten schools. OU, KU and WVU are at a bit of a disadvantage, but many other schools are going to be way behind with tier 3 deals in the $3 or $4 mil range.

By 2023 the Big Ten is going to get yet another deal and the Pac 12 will also get a new deal. You can bet they will each test the waters for grabbing OU and Texas and probably some others. The BIG 12 can't leave itself vulnerable to that attack--it has to have its revenues increasing with those conferences and the SEC (which is reportedly $9 million ahead this past year).

The BIG 12 must expand now--to correspond as closely as possible with the Big Ten's jump, so they can increase their revenues and keep pace. That will also help them get an increase in their tv deal in addition to their network and CCG revenues.

There are schools that will help them generate these revenues via a conference network and expansion and will not lower the strength of the conference and will fit in academically.

Yeah, but I fill mine out better! Besides, I'm an out of the closet, in your face, pure heterosexual. Now a leather vest on a chick can really look sweet. Bobby, you do have your moments!

I always suspected you were a flaming heterosexual.

Thats a tricky question by the OP....I guess if the AAC is expanding....we should accept.

not worth adding that garbage unless you're looking at plucking a program from the ACC like FSU or Clemson.

That's your opinion, and you have every right to it! Soon we will know ESPN, FoxSports and others opinions supported by comprehensive studies when they are submitted to the Big 12. Since they have the money, their opinion counts just a little.

No to Cincy. 2.5 million plus metro area population and $500 million in facility improvements over the last 10 years is not worthy. A willingness to expand a newly remodeled 40k stadium to 58k is definitely not worthy. 10-3, 10-3, 9-4, 9-4, and 7-6 in football during the past five years with five bowl appearances is certainly not worthy. Who do they think they are? WVU coming out of the depleted Big East? How dare they?

Damn these metro area schools, it's not like they're Miami. Miami is a small private university with over 11k undergraduates and access to a pro stadium. Of course the Big 12 should welcome them with open arms, right? Then why not Marshall as well? Freakin' hypocrites.

Why are you wearing mom jeans Mike?

 

[Rootmaster]

Answer to the OP. Yes and soon.

 

[michaelwalkerbr]

Why you wearing Mom jeans Mike?

Because Mom upside down spells Wow! You know a real MFer I may be, but the mothers I'm F'n aren't related to me. And if you kept your babies' Mommas from bangin' on my door, I'll bet I wouldn't be a MFer no more. :scream:

Levis, Waterboy. 33 X 32, loose fitting of course! Bobby, why do you even try? :sunglasses:

extra school in Ohio to compete with for recruits in a territory we recruit hard. Cinci recruiting improves. Ohio state rejects now pick cinci over WVU. Bad for WVU. Weakens national perception of Big 12 conference. Case closed. End of debate.

Wow! Doomed I tell you, we're all doomed. Why doesn't WV simply go to their knees and ask congress to let them rejoin Va? According to a seemingly majority of this board, WVU has no chance of ever accomplishing anything again. I would suggest simply shut athletics down, but the athletes and coaches have this crazy idea that they can win!

actually asking VA to rejoin would be a great idea. That's another topic.

Maybe you are correct, you do try to discipline me often.

 

[xWVU2010x]

Would prefer 2 of:

Cincy
UConn
Memphis
Colorado State

Any other option is unrealistic (P5) or stupid/counterproductive (Houston)

 

[ColoradoMountaineer]

good lord, try to keep up. Most fans would prefer playing Oklahoma and Texas every year versus missing out on one or both of them to play Memphis and Cincinnati. And yes, they are scrubs compared to Texas and Oklahoma.

Well since wvu has placed 14 players in the NFL since 2013 which is 2nd to Oklahoma that must mean that the rest of the Big 12 is scrubs including Texas but since you can't seem to count I give this abacus to you. Learn how to use it you open faced roast beef sandwich

 

[michaelwalkerbr]

I believe at least two more WVU players have signed with teams in the past few days, but they have to make the roster this fall to count, correct?

 

[Rootmaster]

Sigh...so many signees and so few wins in conference.:scream:

 

[michaelwalkerbr]

At least they got rid of DTW today. He was not a team player at all. 4 star, big deal.

 

[ColoradoMountaineer]

We should probably just keep to draft picks. The math on that one is to hard for some to comprehend. If we added free agents that actually made the roster the math would look like astrophysics to those folks

This grammar is terrible. Your diction in your 1st sentence is terrible. Extra should be capitalized. Bad for WVU is not a sentence. Pathetic for someone who likes to point out grammatical mistakes.This is grammatical piece of Sh$t. Don't worry this board is not dedicated for English majors so I am sure nobody cares

 

[michaelwalkerbr]

Debate continues until there is a consensus of opinion or everyone tires of arguing their ideas and beliefs regarding any subject. Regardless of what the 'case' may be, it is not closed until there is no one to hold it open.

We may be reaching that point regarding expansion of the Big 12 Conference until the next meetings. I believe the most prominent viewpoint on this board would currently be there is nothing we can say, write, or do to alter the votes of the presidents and chancellors of the involved universities.

Do you have answers for my sheath questions? If not, I suggest you don't renew your "supposed" PA or NP licensure.

Well since you have failed to correctly identify the proper precautions for TB you have disqualified yourself as a knowledgeable medical professional. Your feeble attempts to redirect the conversation are a testament to your incompetence. You have proven that you can't count, can't do research and your grammar is deficient as well. BTW you should look at some of your posts you seem to forget when to use capital letters and use periods when you haven't even completed a sentence. Still waiting for your lack of talent and resources excuse

 

[Rootmaster]

"Licensure". Impressive. Must read Wikipedia a lot. What a tool. LOL

I would have said credentials. Different vocational backgrounds I suppose. Of course you might say, "The man got out of the car." And I would agree, but most of my former coworkers would have said, "The suspect exited the vehicle." They did not teach them that in the academy, it had to come from TV and movies.

But then I digress. I always wanted to digress. [cheers]

Neither one of these posts are ended with any punctuation.

The sentence, " Your diction in your 1st sentence is terrible. " , is grammatically incorrect. It should read; The diction in your first sentence is terrible.

The sentence, " This is grammatical piece of Sh$t. " , is also grammatically incorrect. It should
read; This is a grammatical piece of shit.

The last sentence of the first post is also grammatically incorrect. You did not use a comma where needed and you should have used no one instead of nobody.

The second paragraph is prime example of grammatical errors. The opening sentence has no possessive noun. The word You was omitted twice which would have rendered the sentence acceptable. The last sentence of the second post is missing a comma between sentences and you.

You should really clean up your adolescent use of the written word if you plan on critiquing others in the future. Yes?

Then you must certainly be able to answer my question with your credentials. I assume you have been unable to google the answers I require. I asked them in such a way that even if you were not trained in cardiac critical care, or in a recovery room setting you should still be able to answer the questions fairly easily. The truth is, you do not work in this field.

Coming from a man who calls another poster a liar and then gets exposed. Still waiting for your answer on where WVU ranks in the Big 12 in the number of draft picks over the last 4 years. You finally going to answer the question? or just run to the expansion threads and pick a fight with old Buck like you did last time

A man who continually tries to redirect a question by asking another has no credibility. Your simple failure to understand that TB is Airborne and not droplet disqualifies any perceived knowledge you may have on this topic
