If the BIGXII wants to cut their nose off to spite their face, and bring in 2 mediocre programs that won't add any credibility to the conference, it's simply not one I want to be involved with.
I honestly got exhausted trying to figure out the conference and hoping for updates... BYU is currently making it on our own better than either Houston or Cincinnati is in a conference, and I don't foresee that changing any time soon.
