Plus a brand new $220 million on-campus stadium doesn't hurt either.

New Mexico and Colorado St would make sense regionally

Agreed. The problem for New Mexico is that it doesn't sit near any significant population center.

With the grant of rights signed by the ACC - there is no way FSU is leaving.

Realistically and based on markets and overall university strength - I would go with BYU, CSU, UCF and Cinci.

Breaking down possible Big 12 expansion candidates: Pros/cons for BYU, Boise State, UConn, Cincinnati and others

JoeyChuckles · 08-12-2016, 07:23 PM

Yeah but what about the academics at each of these institutions? It's all about the academics these days.

JoeyChuckles · 08-12-2016, 07:26 PM

For the record, I'd take four of the schools: Cincinnati and UConn, BYU and Colorado State.

Nickhead · 10-18-2016, 11:06 PM

this is really unfortunate. the fact no one wanted notre dame in the big 12. even go for another ohio valley school. something in the region of corn fields and gun shots.

AZ would never ever ever ever ever leave the west coast for any reason period, they are attached at the hip to California.

I think it's unlikely, but possible. Arizona probably has closer ties to Texas and Oklahoma culturally as well.

Prison Bitch · 10-19-2016, 08:36 AM

Arizona is mini CA, and Phoenix is an LA wannabe, with prob 1/4 their population now having come from LA. They have no connection at all to Texas or Oklahoma, zero.

And the idea they'd be ok playing games in Ames or Mancrappin is pretty hilarious. They were pissed when Colorado and Utah came in.

Not surprised, rumors have been around Norman for awhile that Boren changed his mind and was going to nix the expansion stuff....

Everyone down here knows Boren is running the show in the Big 12... Its common knowledge.

I'm sure the folks in Oklahoma believe that, yes
