Dropping into voice my support for UCF and Cincinnati.

gently caress all the other options.

The president of Texas has spoken. Congratulations, Houston fans. I wonder who the other 3 will be?

WVU needs a travelling partner, it should be either Memphis or Cinci.

If we don't stop at 12, then the other two depend on whether we bring in BYU or not. If its BYU, then I think #14 is CSU. If not, then UCONN and UCF

WVU would ideally like Cincy and Memphis or Cincy and UCF/USF.

I hope they do not split up OU and Texas and we stay in the Big XII because, lmao

Bowlsby traded you to the MAC for Miami in what he thought was a fleecing.

Other than "being in Houston with access to lots of recruits" what makes you say they have better "core fundamentals" than any other G5 school? They're a commuter school that is running a huge deficit and their athletic department is basically just the football team.

It is literally just this. I assume Rutgers hangs "core fundamentals" banners in the stadium or something

Also NYC Media Market

I think Houston isn't going to get in unless we go to 14, which I hope we don't.

Cincy and Memphis or Cincy and one of the Florida schools seems to be choices least likely to piss off half the conference.

Which means:

If I was WVU, I'd be pretty pissed to see BYU and Nebraska in the conference since it would move the conference center even further away from them. I hate having isolated teams so I'd rather see the Big 12 grow east instead of west. Especially since the TV markets are better going east.

I don't think BYU or Braska are coming.

Are you worried about losing the Corn Trophy game?

That's the Iowa State trophy, the Nebraska one is some generic garbage. I think that game will eventually be A Thing and be fun but it's not there yet so we wouldn't be losing too much. They're not some huge historic rival or something, at least right now. I was pretty adamantly against adding them when it happened. There just isn't any logical reason to think Nebraska would make that move and the only thing that really points to it happening is an old guy saying that he thinks it'd be cool.

Oh, I agree

I'm cool with Cinci. But man I really hate the idea of adding UCONN or Memphis.

Memphis is FedEx money, but my money is on UCF/USF which would be better for the conference ebcause it gets us into Florida recruiting.

And yes, we'd totally bolt for the ACC but they're never coming calling.

The Big XII isn't going to disappear without such a tectonic shift in conference alignments that it's not worth even discussing.

I wish things would go back to the way they were.

I would like for the old, old Big East to return, but with Penn State and Maryland. But we don't get what we want.

That would be a good conference. A Big East with Penn State and Miami may also have attracted FSU over the ACC.

Thanks again, Joe Paterno

Hey man, Paterno wanted an eastern football conference. I think the Big East basketball schools should be blamed for this.

Nah, Paterno didn't want Miami in the conference. There are plenty of things I can blame the basketball schools for, but this in particular wasn't one of them.

If we don't expand and also don't get the networks to buy out the pro rata clause at a hefty price the big 12 needs to just disband.

The pro rata buy out is apparently part of this decision.
