OK president / Bowlsby add to expansion talk
Chuck Carlton ‏@ChuckCarltonDMN · 11m11 minutes ago
Boren says Big 12 would not have to cut TV $$$ pie into smaller pieces with expansion, which qualifies as news.

Chuck Carlton ‏@ChuckCarltonDMN · 37m37 minutes ago
Bowlsby confirms pro rata clause in TV contracts would match shares if league expands. But revenue from NCAA, CFP would be split more ways.

Dan Wolken‏@DanWolken Big 12 people have been adamant for months that no expansion is coming for a variety of reasons (money split, no great options available).

Dan Wolken‏@DanWolken But if the Oklahoma president is saying that a 12-team model is preferable to 10, that qualifies as something different.

“I think it’s something we should strive for while we have the time, stability, all of that to look and be choosy,” Boren said. “(We) can be very selective about who we want to add. It would have to add value to the conference. I think we should.”

“How many years can this go on?” Boren said. “Finally, it just gets to be really debilitating. I worry about that. That’s something I just worry about long-term about the conference, not short term.”

“The elephant in the room remains the network south of us (Longhorn Network) that has struggled and has in a way as long as it’s there,” Boren said. “And we have done quite well with our network and if anything ever changed, it has value to it which we see. But someday, maybe we’ll get past that other problem as well. It’s a problem.”

“The contract says that our main television contract … if we grow from 10 to 11 or 11 to 12, their payments to us grow proportionally,” Boren said. “So everybody’s share stays the same. If it’s ‘X’ dollars, it stays ‘X’ dollars.



Dr. M. David Rudd @UofMemphisPres
Will be announcing new football & basketball facilities soon, stay tuned. Committed to competing at the highest level

Interesting timing on this Tweet from the Memphis president...

Dan Wolken ‏@DanWolken I can't tell you today whether Big 12 is expanding. But after today and revelation about TV deal, I will never trust what they say.

Boren doesn't sound like a happy camper re status quo -- plus outed TV deal.

ISU News ‏@ISUUpdate 3m3 minutes ago OU prez David Boren: Big 12 should "strive" for expansion back to 12 teams http://t.co/0Stzlw8ftz

I think it's rather interesting that Boren says all this, and then Rudd announces our new facilities are soon to come. OU had a regents meeting, out of which Boren made his comments, which makes me wonder what happened there. OU has been really unhappy with the Big 12 deal...not sure why, everyone gets paid. And, the Big 12 has some great institutions and fan bases, I've always wondered why it has been so shakey an association, but UT is the big dog in the conference.

Personally, I hope we keep a mid-continent conference, but UT or OU will not be part of that conference. I just hope Memphis falls on the good side of the dispute. I think we (Memphis) have the necessary parts, especially in viewership of media, but our past lack of success is a great blot on our history, especially when schools like UT or OU want to consider associating with you (athletic success)....IMHO, we're the wall-flower at the school dance, but we do have some great carnations pinned to our chest. Sorry for long reply.

RE: OK president / Bowlsby add to expansion talk
I have noticed that on the OU board (LandThieves), there's lots of discussion on the subject...but OU has always been unhappy with the Big 12.

On the UT board (ShaggyBevo), there's the standard comments about OU not having anywhere else to go, so they're (OU) just whining. UT is ok with the Big 12.

Take a look at the boards if you want to see a lot of speculation.

Take that for what it's worth.

If this were the Texas Tech president it won't be worth as much --- a small mention maybe. What is this worth? Who knows but it is Oklahoma.

As a Baylor alum also, I'd have to agree with you on that one. I dread the day Memphis plays against Baylor, 'course I'd choose Memphis (I did love my times at both schools). The school politics in this state have always been "fun" for me to watch.

In reading part of the posts on Land Thieves, it seems OU fans think their President is laying the groundwork to leave the Big 12.

FedEx could step up now and add Memphis value as a TV sponsor.

@LandThieves It is a huge revelation. If I wasn't on vacation I'd have written about it

Landthieves ‏@LandThieves · 2h2 hours ago
@DanWolken 5 years of "added value" speeches going in a 3 minute interview after a BOR meeting. incredible

Dan Wolken ‏@DanWolken · 2h2 hours ago
@LandThieves It really is. I mean, that's a major detail people from the league basically lied about publicly every time they opened mouth

If or when they do they will be much more quiet about it. Last time it was a bit of a PR issue. Besides the person that blabbed is no longer here.

Anyone speculating on their support should know that Memphis has it…big time. It just won't be blatant, as Cincinnati with P&G.
