I'm not sure how UCF fits in geographically.

Mr. Laz · 08-12-2016, 12:19 PM

People protesting to not get BYU in Big 12 because of social/religious issues.

So it sounds like something is happening with BYU

I imagine they want to get back to 12, i just hope they go big and not settle for some crap school.

If you can't go big then don't go at all.

Why do you give a shit about WVU, let along a "geographical partner"? What does that even mean? Are they going to hold hands and bunk together on road trips to KC? It's not close anyway at 310 miles away

As a KU guy, UCONN is interesting from a basketball standpoint. The rest combined look like a money grabbing meaningless November CBB invitational in St. Lucia or something.

I'd like to add an Arizona or ASU, or both. But that won't happen. Keep it at 10.

Northern Illinois

Anyone here ever been to (let alone heard of) DeKalb, Illinois? What a joke.

kccrow · 08-12-2016, 01:36 PM

Big 12 already has 4 teams in Texas, so I don't see the advantage of adding a 5th.

They should add Temple and UConn to expand their Eastern presence, plus both add more to the basketball side of the equation.

My ex was from Dekalb. It makes Lubbock look like the dream college town.

I was relaying the hot takes I read from insiders and the promises from Bowlsby to address this issue from WVU.

If it were my decision I would have never picked WVU in the first place.

no more Texas schools!!

We need market size(money) and high profile

The higher the conference profile the most recruits and tv money we get.

BYU,Florida State,Clemson

I suppose Colorado state would bring the Denver market back to the Big 12 which is big.

BYU would need to be complete join, not just football.

Florida State would be a huge get, opening up the Florida market for t.v. and recruits.

could they try to add FSU and UCF to really make a Florida grab?

Ranking in terms what schools I would want if I was Big 12 and let me preface with I do not care about academics in an ATHLETIC conference
1. BYU
2. UCONN
3. Memphis
4. Cincinnati
5. UCF
6. New Mexico
7. Colorado State
8. Boise State
9. Temple
10. USF
11. Tulane
12. Northern Illinois
13. E Carolina
14. Houston
15. SMU

Colorado State makes the most sense of all the candidates. Denver television market. Solid academics bordering on AAU admission. A peer with other land grant institutions (i.e. KSU, OSU). 35-40K enrollment.

Plus a brand new $220 million on-campus stadium doesn't hurt either. CSU would easily surpass CU in the state of Colorado with Big 12 membership behind it.

add UMKC and Maple Woods.
