[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129592852, member: 1428007"] According to Boren just a week or so ago, expansion would deliver "marginal gains" to existing members and I broke it down based on known revenues above. All existing members would make more than now. But as I told you before--its over--they aren't going to expand-- and this article pretty much confirms that as expected: excerpt: [COLOR=#b30059]"(OU AD) Castiglione is one of two high-placed sources to tell CBS Sports Big 12 expansion is over. The other source, who preferred to remain anonymous, said expansion was dead regarding "those teams." That's a reference to usual group of schools attached to the Big 12 that includes BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, Colorado State, UConn, Houston and Memphis. "I stop short of speaking in absolutes about anything regarding conference realignment outside the contracts that exist," Castiglione said. "We've seen things happen that one could never imagine ... [but] I don't see any conversation in the near future."[/COLOR] [URL='http://www.tulsaworldtv.com/OU-President-David-Boren-talks-Big-12-expansion-broadcast-future--30267354']http://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/oklahoma-ad-says-big-12-expansion-is-dead-for-the-time-being/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
