I completely forgot about Memphis.
Cincy IMO wouldn't be a good add to the conference, but that is just me.
Tulane has the Nola market, GA southern almost upset GT and NC State and lost in the finals seconds in their first year up, but thats just my personal opinion.

Cincy does add a better tv market, but recruiting is so much better in GA and LA.


That north division is shite though.
KSU would rule it, and the conference game would be shite every year.

Tulane just built a 30K stadium and has horrible supporting facilities. I wish Tulane would get to P5 level, but I don't see it happening. The Big 12 already has enough private schools.
Georgia Southern just moved up to FBS and isn't in a media market.

Ohio is pretty darn good recruiting state.

It is but I didn't want to take the time to split it up any other way.

TV markets don't matter in the Big 12 because they don't have a conference network. TV ratings matter and these teams do nothing but dilute the conference and worsen the matchups.

No, it isn't. The Big 5 in recruiting are Florida, California, Texas, Ohio and Georgia with Ohio and Georgia lagging because of population and in a virtual dead heat.
