Boren on potential expansion targets: "We have some good choices. We’ve all agreed to be very confidential about schools. We don’t want to let some school get a lot of publicity and they’re ‘oh, they’re about to get in the Big 12,’ and maybe they don’t get in. We don’t want to have any of that. So we’re trying to keep that all in-house.”

Don't let the twitter echo get people confused with reality. Boren's timing of these comments is very interesting considering the speculation coming from UC sources about an invite that is "imminent".

But i need AAC teams to leave so NIU can join

Sorry but BYU isn't on the list. They are going east for expansion to get the B12 Network into homes for carriage.

laughable coming from the idiot that has not shut his mouth the entire time and the idiot that made a fool of himself several other times in past realignment situations

Except for the fact that UC had to provide information due to a FOI request.

Cincy is today's Missouri and will be left out in the cold in the end. Beggers don't work in conference expansion.

Yeah except Missouri got into the SEC so I don't think you're making the point you think you're making.

Didn't TCU beg and cry to the Texas brass...? Worked for them.

Cincinnati is not begging. They maybe networking or trying to improve their position. The University had to turn information over to the Cincinnati Enquirer due to Freedom of Information Act.

They wanted the B1G and got rejected. A&M needed a partner and Missouri was an easy get since they had nowhere else to go.

I thought they got the UT Pres/AD liquored up and worked from there.

True...like DefCONN pointed out. Before the begging and crying, they had quite a few drinks...

Sounds like he was trying to soothe the candidates not named Cincy as opposed to warning Cincy.

to be fair to TCU the UT AD got himself liquored up (it was the AD not the president) and then he liked Del as a drinking buddy because Del was still able to walk after drinking with him.....and TCU was already solidly in consideration before that anyway based on performance on the field, proven alumni support, availability and location

This may have been the sight that Chris Del Conte saw that night:

Maybe. But Cincy is the one that was getting a lot of publicity about being close to an invite in the days just before his statement (yesterday). Don't think he is in a vacuum. He knows what got out. He could also be talking about UCONN.

At the very least, it is sound information for all those wishing for these things and those who begin to believe internet rumors.

Could be a message to BYU as well since they have been begging to get into a P5 conference for a long time now.
