Some things you all need to know about B12 expansion
there are two factors, their current contract with FOX is for 12 schools, not 10.
FOX has already told them no more dollars for 2 more schools.
That would be a reduction of 20% per school and place their checks below the ACC.
Second, politically, if they expand the Texas legislature has pressured Texas, Baylor and Texas Tech. NO EXPANSION unless Houston is included.
now I do not know how much influence the legislature has in Texas vs the schools, but I'd guess it is very large.
The B12 is not taking 2 ACC schools under any circumstances I can think of.
Honestly, I think the B12 options are very limited. Maybe BYU, Cincinitti, Houston, Memphis, San Diego St, Boise, Air Force, Colo State.
If you force one of them to be Houston, then the members can get a better deal from any other P5 conference.
I see the B12 as the Big East of Today.
