re: Memphis and Cincy to Big 12?

The Big XII isn't going after Cincy or Memphis.
BYU isn't leaving their gold mine
The Big XII will not expand for football only
They will grab New Mexico and then who knows. New Mexico makes a bunch of sense for them it helps them in 3 sports and has natural rivalries already played.
The one team that would move to Big XII if asked, IMO, is Coog High. But they won't get an invite due to Community College type perception and horrible athletic support in most sports.
SMU would be a good get, but they have 1 huge problem, not many sports. So they will never be asked.
If Big XII wants to go north or east I believe they will go after Colorado State to get the Denver market back.

While I agree with these points, could part of them not getting an invite also be the other Texas schools not wanting to legitimize them again?
Houston had some football and basketball success during the 70s and 80s in the SWC. I'm admittedly not tuned into current Texas politics, but I figure giving UH P5 status might not serve the best interests of UT, TCU, Baylor or Tech.

Yeah they are. There is already too much smoke around this already.
Plus it makes a ton of sense.
