Hmmm, this is what I predicted on 8/1...


"Is Big12 bluffing in hopes of getting better deal - and staying at 10?

Adding 2-4 2nd tier programs is clearly not in the best interest of Fox/ESPN - and, other than a short term financial windfall, may not be the best interest of the existing Big 12 programs either (for several reasons).

I wouldn't be too surprised Fox/ESPN offers to split the middle and pony up, say, an additional $2M per Big12 team to not expand. And I wouldn't be shocked if the Big12 (led by the Iowa State's and WVU's and resisted by UT & OU) accepted it."
