Tulane, UConn, Cincinatti, and... gently caress I dunno, Memphis. I want to close the state gap between WVU and the rest of the Big 12. I really want the old Big 12 back or UT and OU to go to the SEC, but I guess this is the best thing we can get right now.

BXII trades WVU to SEC for Mizzou Colorado has been dog poo poo since it moved to PAC. I doubt PAC let's them leave though since its one of the few non-CA big markets out west.

I actually didn't consider Colorado State, are they a possibility at all? They fit well enough geographically at least, although like others have said I'd imagine you'd prefer to fill in some space between the rest of the conference and WVU if you're thinking of location.

Colorado State & BYU would be a good travel pair and overlap with the PAC & 2 good markets.

I feel like because of our geographic location, the only possibility for SDSU is some kind of Pac 12 expansion and since I don't see that coming in the near future, we're pretty much out of luck. Except for that one time where we joined the Big East for a week

BYU seems to be all-in on being an independent so I tend to doubt it's them, but stranger things have happened. E: Jesus christ the front half of their schedule is murder this year  and they're going to do a shitload of travelling. Maybe it is them.E2: they do have that sweet ESPN deal though so who knows DJExile fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Jul 20, 2016 |

Texas A&M is at the top of my list, but they aren't coming back. For me it goes A&M-Nebraska-Mizzou-Colorado, in that order from most to least want.

DJExile posted:BYU seems to be all-in on being an independent so I tend to doubt it's them, but stranger things have happened. ESPN pays them ~$6 million/year. They stand to double that in joining the Big XII if we offer them a half share. The 10 existing big XII schools stand to each make $1 million more per year through offering incoming teams half-shares over the next 8 years of our contract. The incoming schools will take it because making ~$12 million per year is better than making $6 million for BYU or $3 million for the AAC. Hell, we could probably offer CSU a quarter share and pull them from the MWC.

Bowlsby admitted that what they were previously looking for (schools who can bring more per-school value when the money is split 12/14 ways) is not available. They are now prioritizing schools who they perceive as having high upside, who can be competitive and grow.

There is absolutely no way Baylor is getting kicked out of the Big 12 over, well, anything short of Baylor dropping athletics. I don't know how that meme got started. Baylor would tie up the decision in court for decades, not to mention doing so would create a precedent that would allow people that aren't academic power brokers to exert influence on academic departments.

A team that got their program started about a decade too late: Georgia State. 32k students, downtown Atlanta. Heart of SEC territory. Even if they had Georgia Southern's profile, they'd be almost too good to pass up.

I don't see how adding 2-4 programs that are going to be absolute dead weight adds either value or stability to the Big 12. They've already been cleared to hold a championship game, which is stupid but fine, they get another check to split 10 ways. Even if you jump to 12 or 14, a conference network is still going to be a non-starter as long as LHN is out there.

Devil's advocate here but I'd take UConn pretty easily to get their basketball teams in-conference. E: poo poo, the women basically win the national championship almost by default these days, and Kansas/UConn a few times a year on the mens side would be rad as hell DJExile fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Jul 20, 2016 |

Even if you jump to 12 or 14, a conference network is still going to be a non-starter as long as LHN is out there. With the ACC's new deal and seemingly greater stability, it's either expand and try to stay alive or stay pat and know that if any of the 4 other major conferences wants to go to 16, you're going to be the conference that they target. While the options out there aren't the most appealing, the thought has become that the Big XII can bring a team upward like the Big Ten is trying to do with Rutgers and Maryland. The pickings are slim, but there are a few teams that fit the mold. The good thing is that the Big XII is top-heavy with only ISU and Kansas being perennial cellar dwellers. It wouldn't be a bad thing to have a few new schools to beat up on. I don't think that BYU gets invited except maaaaaybe in the football-only style. They have the highest profile of available teams, but lack upside. They have an audience of around 6 million people and that's it. It's sounding like the Southeast is on the table in a strong way. That means that lower-end programs in Florida, Tennessee, and Louisiana have some shot at getting in. Kansas will be wielding all of the power and influence they have to get UConn into the conference. They want a basketball buddy. And WVU will have an outsized voice in all of this as well, as I think all schools are concerned with finding alternatives to geographically link with West Virginia.
