Then we start looking at how different things fit together.”Boren said he thinks the Big 12 stands to make a lot more money with a Big 12 network beaming its programming into local cable systems, and he could be right.“There’s the possibility,” he said, “we could be leaving substantial amounts of money on the table by not having a Big 12 network.”...“Where do we stand on expansion? It depends on the answer to the first question (about a network),” Boren said. “… Then it comes down to what schools are available.“We have another consulting group looking at all these schools — 80, 50, it’s a large number. All the schools that might be available — even some that probably wouldn’t be but might be, if you could find someone that wanted to change conferences that’s out there.”Boren said he has received material from probably 25 schools about joining the Big 12.“I love to do things quickly. I try to be decisive if I can be. But there are times you have to say, ‘Let’s gather all the information. Once we have all the information, let’s make an intelligent decision.’ The data is going to speak to me. My hunch is a Big 12 network will be advantageous to everybody in the conference. But my hunch might be wrong. You have to let the facts change your mind.”<a href="http://thefranchiseok.com/heres-why-creating-a-big-12-network-first-is-a-bad-idea/">http://thefranchiseok.com/heres-why-creating-a-big-12-network-first-is-a-bad-idea/</a></blockquote>
