They wouldn't haaaave to. B1G was at 11 for awhile. Doesn't matter though, Big12 doesn't want to expand.

Syracuse left the Big East and forfeited their rivalry.

Why would Georgetown ever want schedule them then?

I would guess that Georgetown needs to have a big name on their schedule in basketball. Kansas and Duke don't need mid-level BCS teams on theirs.

I'd like to dump TCU, West Virginia, or Baylor to bring in BYU but obviously that won't happen. West Virginia is a solid athletic program but they're a real misfit here and BYU would fit much better geographically since we're not competing with all the schools east of the Mississippi anyway.

** Not really. Apparently they are just visiting Tex Winter and Bruce Weber.

Here's why the Big 12 won't be rushing to add BYU or anyone else for that matter.

was that a recent photo? Tex looks good for 92.

No SEC schools were listed by the three as a peer who also viewed them as a peer, except for KU selecting Mizzou. Mizzou chose ATM and Florida as peers but it was not reciprocated.

Soren Petro was really going off about the Big 12 adding BYU with Blair Kerkhoff yesterday.

I heard part of that. It sounded as if Petro was making a case as to why Missouri was justified in leaving the Big XII and why the XII is in trouble five or so years down the road, but I didn't catch his comments in their entirety.

Big 12 should be forced to change their name to big Texas and friends

eh, win something and talk to us. Until then keep living in other schools shadows. You guys have built quite a legacy doing just that.

That's funny considering how your vaunted basketball team can't even seem to win its own depleted conference tournament these days.

What's a conference tournament?

That thing that gets played every year at that place Kansas fans claims was built for them to play in.
