the guy is a writer and not a "decider".
If the BigX11 finds that they need to pick up teams to go to 14 or 16, since they would be looking for a land bridge to WVU, UC would be in the mix. Might not get in but they would be on the table.

It's kind of like this unnamed study that's been referred to that said they didn't want UC and Lousyville because they "didn't move the needle" with regards to TV markets. I would be interested in seeing this study to see what the actual numbers say. Frankly, due to it's geography there aren't a whole lot of better markets available in flyover country. The only other avenue they have to bigger markets would be something in Florida.

I know UC football isnt notre dame in regards to national appeal but correct me if im wrong but havent we had some great thur and fri night ratings? I believe we have. People do watch UC when we are ranked...we are still a "great story" to a lot of people in football. And with hoops coming on we will get more tv time. I dont buy the whole moving the neele deal.

Plus we give a good sized market..

I doubt there is litte credit to these comments. Like it was said, the writer is a writer, not a decider. The Big 12 did not exclusively want us as a package deal with UL. period. We will get offers when we continue to show an attitude about upgrading our major facilities of football and basketball and when we continue to win. I have a friend close to UVA and a graduate and he said the school is not happy with the direction of the conference. This could be possible. UVA is a great school.

Good point about the market. I was wondering if anyone knows how these markets are decided. For instance, I heard recently that Dayton was going to be combined with Cincinnati as one market. Cleveland is part of the Cleveland/Akron market and ranked much higher than Cincinnati. If that changes, that could help the Bearcats case.

He talked on his radio show about Kevin Jones and said he didn't know him from his days there but said since the Jones was willing to put his real name to the rumor then he must have a decent source for the info.

Quote:Colorado offering Jones $13.5 million over 5 years
12/03/12 at 8:49am by bkoch
0 Comments Butch Jones might have a difficult time saying no to Colorado officials when he and his wife, Barbara, meet with them today in Boulder.

According to The Denver Post’s Woodie Page, Colorado is prepared to offer Jones a five-year contract worth $13.5 million, with upgrades to 53,613-seat Folsom Field, the Dal Ward Athletic Center and the team practice facilities.

If the money doesn’t turn Jones’ head, the facilities upgrades likely will. Under terms of the contract he signed with UC at the end of last season, Jones is scheduled to make $1.6 million in 2013, gradually increasing to a high of $2.05 million in 2017, the last year of the contract.

Jones is also known to have been frustrated at UC by the inability of the school to renovate Nippert Stadium. Furthermore, when Jones wanted to build a players’ lounge he had to raise the money himself through his 1200 Club for football boosters.

Jones does have great faith in UC athletic director Whit Babcock, who has been on the job for 13 months after replacing Mike Thomas. Whether that faith in Babcock will be enough to get Jones to turn down what Colorado is offering remains to be seen.

According to sources, UC has talked to Jones about re-doing his contract, including a pledge to renovate Nippert Stadium, but UC officials have said they don’t have the money to renovate either Nippert Stadium or Fifth Third Arena, so it’s unclear where that money would come from.

Basically the guy has no connections and I think he was the source of the original rumor.

I'm just hoping to get a one sentence summary explanation of what happened.

Are you saying the guy who runs "The Deacon Report" is saying he intentionally started the false rumor about Georgia Tech joining the Big 10 just to prove a point?

He's claiming it, but he wasn't the original source of the Georgia Tech and Virginia rumors anyways. A news producer in D.C. was the main guy who was saying GT and UVA to the Big Ten today. The Wake Forest fan was making up rumors for GT and Syracuse to the Big Ten and Kansas to the ACC, but it was fairly clear from the start that the WF guy was just making stuff up--opening his account Friday morning, making outrageous claims, having info on "secret" conference calls, having a link to an inactive Wake fan blog in his profile, etc.
