[QUOTE="Mountaineer Steve, post: 129486435, member: 1495432"] I know we will continue to banter back on forth on this, but it really does not matter what we think. I predict that the BIG12 will not vote for expansion because the votes won't be there, and you will come up with some fanciful reason as to why it was delayed and continue to say it is inevitable which will keep discussions going forward. I further predict that the BIG12 will expand in time, but will do so at a very methodical pace that will coincide with the next round of TV negations and the expiration of all but LHN 3rd tier contracts. However, most believe there is a very bleak outlook for money being generated from network TV like ESPN, CBS and FOX. Their costs have exploded while the revenue has shrunk do to millions of cutting the cord. The explosion of dollars paid by the networks they can't afford has expanded to the point of the bubble bursting. As I said in a previous post, even the BIG will be impacted somewhat. Yes the BIG, is going to get a nice bump, but it won't be near what they were originally projecting. [/QUOTE]
