That's good, I hope the Big 12 stays together.

FIFY

Edit: So clearly the entire we do not want to be in a bad academic conference can be put to sleep OU and Texas peoples. If this does indeed happen.

To get to 14 teams, Big 12, currently at nine, would need to add five teams.

This jives with what I've heard over the last couple days, although I dont think all parties involved have the same level of interest.

While this is very likely the target of the big12 expansion committee, BYU and Louisville are "soft," TCU is not a unanimous choice, and I havent heard shite either way about Cinci or WVU other than they are in the discussion

He misquoted in the article TCU is listed as the 5th team.

Plus, if they lose Mizzou... who is number 6? SMU? That is half the conference turned over in a few years.

Can always reach out and grab New Mexico to get into that target rich market.

Regarding Louisville to the Big12, Slick Rick isn't going down without a fight. He will either convince them to stay (for however long the BE lasts) or get fired in the process. He's a NYC guy, not a Stillwater guy. He's really showing how selfish he is with all this.

getting more isn't better. Will adding all these teams really help in improving the big 12 or will they be more of a cancer in the big 12 just sucking up more money like Baylor and Iowa State
