[QUOTE="Greensboro, post: 1213281, member: 7536"] The 20 team conference plan is fan based plan. Delany's plan seems to be to maximize sport's revenue with a nod to maintaining academic quality and slow playing this and waiting for opportunities. I think the hope is that if we are maximizing resources, then winning goes up & the fans will be happy & keeping paying up. With all this in mind seeing some article floating around about Big 12 adding members. [URL="http://collegefootball.ap.org/article/big-12-ponders-expansion-american-guard-losses"]http://collegefootball.ap.org/article/big-12-ponders-expansion-american-guard-losses[/URL] [URL="https://twitter.com/DooleyMcStitch"]https://twitter.com/DooleyMcStitch[/URL] Most likely targets Uconn, Cincinnati, Houston, Brigham Young...chart in there showing some numbers on the schools. Comments Oklahoma is fighting expansion. Another tweet on this page, likely speculation: Also saw a tweet of someone saying We (Texas) need to get out of this conference. Out Texas/ND in play, probably not; but does that send shivers through ACC...probably. There are now 45 Million+ reasons for something to happen. [/QUOTE]
