TCU had played as well as anyone in the country going on a decade now, but can't come close to approximating the influence of top tier schools. Same with Boise.

I believe there is a contract provision which eliminates the GOR $$$ tie if

Some names for the new conference: Small 12, Can'tCount 12, Leftovah 12

Cougarclaw

This is my concern. Obviously, this conference would be better than MWC, but

Yeah, +1 to what this guy said and what happens to UT, Oklahoma, OkSt, etc? They

Any tips on what search terms to use to find his predictions easier?

Look up posts he has authored and maybe add a few terms related to expansion

Here you go:

Would rather stay indepedent than get into that conference.

The B12?

The BIG12 leftovers. Would rather be independent.

This post you responded to was about the B12 in 2011 IIRC

No they don't. At least they shouldn't. And yes. He has.

He appears to be one of the only true insiders on CB.

The main takeaway is B12 teams might be looking.

10/5/15 7:25pm

Ouch. The leftovers would be a slight upgrade to the AAC. In the end, BYU gets

Zak

Not great. That would still be BYU on the outside.

LiveCoug

10/5/15 7:26pm

BC at home in 2016 would mean no FCS game

concolor couguar

10/5/15 7:31pm

BC only has two OOC opponents scheduled for 2016 so it's plausible

So we would essentially get into a conference that wont be any better than MWC..

CougarWarrior

10/5/15 8:43pm

TT, TCU, Baylor, Boise, Cincinnati = Better than MWC

That conference would be much, much better than the MWC. The MWC is BSU and

LiveCoug

I think you're wrong about that. How has BSU sustained their level of play?

CougarBacker

10/6/15 11:26am

For kicks and giggles, say the Big12 does get absorbed in part by the ACC

SJS

10/5/15 8:46pm

That conference make up wouldn't get P5 status. Looks more G5 to me.

Channel 1?

SDSU and UNLV would be automatic for population and bowl reasons

More I think about it, you go to 16 teams to have enough content for a network

"Baylor, TCU, TTech, Iowa State, Cincy, UCONN, Boise" sounds like Conference USA
