Time to Expand the Big 12 to the Big 16!
It's time, time to get what you can while you can, before it's too late! This includes going after some programs hard to get the TV markets.
West Division - Plus TV Market BYU - SLC Boise State - Well, Boise and most of the Mtn Zone CU / Co State - Denver ( I prefer CU over Co St.) Seriously doubt CU would, less $$ Baylor - Waco, Austin, Central Tx. KSU - Not much, western Ks, Wichita and some KC KU - Same as KSU but a bigger national draw. TCU - Dallas/Ft Worth Tx Tech - West Texas East Division - PLus TV Market ISU - Des Moines OSU - Oklahoma & Texas Houston - Houston, East Tx Memphis - Memphis UC - Cincinnati West Virginia - ? You tell me, but good football & Basketball UCF - Orlando USF - Miami You can have 4 pods, BYU,Boise St,CU,Tx Tech KU,KSU,TCU,Baylor Houston,ISU,OSU,Memphis UCF,USF,WV, Cincy IMHO, it's all coming down to Super Conferences and the teams that don't move now is going to have a hard time landing into a competitive conference from top to bottom in football and basketball. Will it happen? Nope, just because, that's why. Would this be the best fit for the current 8 schools in the B12 ? I think so, but to get 8 more schools to jump all at once, going to take a very big sales job by somebody. So what am I missing here on this take ? It's not the SEC, but I think those 16 schools would give them a legitimate chance at claiming # 3 behind the SEC at times based on how good the recruiting goes. The Big10 will still be a step in front on the # 2 conference. So the fight for # 3 is ACC,Pac 12 and whatever can come about with the B12 ( err 16? ). You can possibly change up ISU for TCU in the divisions & pods.

KU owns KC and Wichita, with a national following. They won't be in the Big 12 when this is over.

Big 12 should trade Kansas to the BIG 10 for Nebraska
I mean Nebraska will do anything to win again right? |

The overriding sentiment that I'm hearing from various ties to Lawrence is that KU to the Big 10 can basically be considered a done deal at this point.

Football is king, so not one person in KC watches beaker Football let alone a "national following "

Nothing is going to happen until the OuuT mess gets figured out. When they are officially leaving, what the consequences will be, and so on. Everyone assumes OuuT are gone after this year, but the SEC’s media contract with ESPN doesn’t start until 24. Does CBS really want to fork out cash to pay for two schools that colluded with ESPN go outbid CBS?

I hope it doesn’t come to expansion, but if it does I’d go to 14. I think there’s 5 schools they can add that are better than a decent amount of P5 schools, my 6th has some history of being better. I’d add BYU, Cincinnati, Memphis, Houston, UCF, and Boise St. Take the risk of being the first conference to go to streaming. Amazon would likely pay more than Fox/CBS/ESPN. It also opens the door for Amazon to buy other conferences rights in the next wave 10 or so years down the road.
Top to bottom that’s a very competitive conference and would have a lot of good games. The obvious problem is there’s no blue blood at the top, since in this day and age the only thing that matters about a conference is it’s top 1-2 schools.

With all the uncertainty surrounding the remnants of the Big12 I would be pretty surprised if many schools would be willing to gamble their future and jump on board
