***OFFICIAL BIG 12 EXPANSION THREAD 2.0***

[hurdleisu24]

anyone heard if the Catholic 7 have made any inquiries into other teams joining that conference?

 

[Let's Go State]

I heard that the Missouri valley conference was going after Missouri Valley high school. An What Cheer because it sounds cool.

Big East-Catholic 7 documents note $68.8 million in realignment funds - CBSSports.com

highlight the Big East's financial intake from the mass departures during the recent waves of conference realignment, including:

• Approximately $18.8 million in exit fees “on deposit in the Realignment Reserve Fundâ€￾ by June. (Fees from West Virginia, Texas Christian and a portion of what Pitt/Syracuse owe.)
• Approximately $25 million more in the RRF by June 2018 (rest of Pitt/Syracuse fees, and balances from Louisville and Rutgers, which is in litigation with the conference. In October 2011, the Big East reportedly doubled its exit fee amount to $10 million).
• Approximately $25 million in entrance fees from 10 incoming members running to 2020. (This was before Boise State and San Diego State returned to the Mountain West Conference. Boise owes a $2.5 million exit fee, which also covers SDSU since the two came in as West Coast partners.)

Looks like BE is making money signing up and losing members.

DO they have to give 10% of that to the Church?

After I read that...I am not sure I recall once reading the name of the Big XII in that entire blog. Not that it really means anything but it does give an indication that all we can do is watch the Big 10 and SEC do what they want to do and then check out what is leftover and see if we find it appetizing.

So Sloppy seconds for the Big Twelve? Better wrap it up then.

 

[dunar]

Better wrap it up then.

Unrelated, but always makes me laugh... "You better wrap that gavel up, b!"

Oh, and the latest from MHver3 on Twitter:

FSU and Miami researching a joint sports network. The ACC doesn't allow that type of thing...

If North Carolina--the bedrock ACC school--bolts for the #B1G, what will become of the ACC?



Interesting that a BTN guy is speculating on this..

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

DC Maryland Virginia ‏@DMVFollowers Big Ten has offered UNC, Georgia Tech & Virginia to join the conference. #ByeByeACC

 

[nj829]

Still have to think BYU is on the table if both sides can reach a happy agreement and another "name" to bring in with them.

Who would be the fourth team in your opinion?

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

open door for ND. I mean they have to think about it right?

 

[cyfanatic]

Yeah...I think that would be the reason they only offer 3 in the very near future. And if ND still says no, I would bet FSU would get some serious consideration no matter what type of academic school it might be.

Rumor? is spreading...

 

[UNIGuy4Cy]

I dont think these invitations are rumors at this point.

 

[cyfanatic]

I dont think these invitations are rumors at this point.

Agree. I am a bit surprised that the Big 10 goes beyond 16 though...so UNC & UVA are moving for sure in my mind. Coach K will really be upset with this! Angry at Maryland for leaving...he will pull his hair out if UNC leaves!
