Fox sports advising B1G to expand and USC and UCLA are the prime candidates being eyed (as I told you 6+months ago). How B1G will they go though?

- ACC schools that have contacted B12 in the past 20 hours: VT, Pitt, Cuse, NCST, GT, Miami, Louisville, BC, Wake. There is a LOT of fear and a lot of smoke. There’s also possibly enough votes to dissolve the GOR according to some of those conversations.
- I don’t have specifics yet but I’m being told several ACC schools have already been on the horn with Yormark since late last night. There is a real fear that this was going to happen and that it would be a tipping point.
- Breaking from my source: Oregon and Washington presidents meeting with B12 execs tonight to discuss joining the conference.
- One source tells me the network knew the results of the selection committee before the show started and Herbie’s soliloquy about bama prior to the reveal was scripted by a committee member who shall remain nameless.
- Hearing now there is a possibility B12 could go to 18 and bring in ASU/Utah/WSU/ORSU all at reduced shares for the remainder of the new contract and give them full membership at the next contract. Developing now so stay tuned.
- Hearing a certain school where the cats are wild have informed the B12 they are beginning the process of exiting their current home.
- Hearing ESPN not happy about being shut out of the west coast markets by FOX. Pushing B12 to throw some schools a life raft to get west coast content.
- Looking like AZ is going to be 14
- SEC has told ESPN they would go to a 9 game conference schedule if they can get 2 more schools added at a full share. This would add a TON of SEC inventory.
- There is real fire to the smoke that Mich and USC could leave the B10 over the equity deal. So much so that both schools have negotiated a backroom back up plan for non football sports to move to the ACC if necessary.
- My source just informed me that Arizona, Colorado, Utah, and Arizona State have applied for membership with the B12. Things are getting crazy!
