The remainder of the Big XII should join with the Big East by either dropping their football programs to FCS or somehow convincing Butler, Georgetown and Villanova to move up.

I'm a tell'n ya, I say tell'n all my CP brothers & sisters, the 12, I say the Big 12, err Big 8 I say is expanding to the Big 12 again!

Damn ding dongs don't get it, just don't get it I say!. They just need to go with 4 more, it's just a matter of time many when many conferences will go to 16 teams just like the SEC did. Why? TV Contracts, gate draws. It's coming boys, your top major conferences in the next 20 years will be 16 team conferences.

The B12 made concessions on travel once with WV, reason too I say go with the 8 teams I mentioned, you get multiple games in an area for traveling during basketball season. Plus the pods I mentioned puts in you with some in state rivalries and closer traveling.

I just see more 16 teams conferences coming down the road!.

Pot/kettle (and I'm not a fan of either)

BYU, Cincinnati, UCF, and Houston to the Big12 is basically a done deal.

It will be interesting to see if the schools are willing to sign a new GoR, or if they leave it open for when the B1G/PAC negations start in a few years.

ESPN may be a little more willing to keep payments higher than expected, or if they want a battle in court to keep Oklahoma and Texas in the Big12 through 2025/damages/breaking the bylaws/breaking the GoR/and so on.

Cincinnati, West Virginia, UCF, Iowa St, Kansas St, and Kansas the new Big 12 East. BYU, Okie State, Tech, Baylor, TCU and Houston the new Big 12 West.

"Basically a done deal" has been so many times in this thread its going to start showing up in Google searches

At the very least, they're getting invited.

Better find one more because KU is going to the B1G.

BYU is a pretty good get though, TBH.

They are not! Get off that damn horse, it's going to stop at the Missouri River and not cross it!

News just mentioned that KU plays football tonight

I didnt' realize they had a varsity team

Just saw an article stating that the Big 10 was considering expansion prior to the new "agreement" among conferences. They were no longer looking to expand.

They honestly have no reason to expand.

Going to take a couple of more years, but I do believe they have the coach to get us back to the Mangino days!
