in a good position. I believe TH hinted that BYU, Utah, TCU and possibly others would’ve joined the Big 12 sans Texas, OU, OK St, TAMU, TTU, and Colorado. (I believe those were the 6 teams about to join the PAC-10.)
Tom is looking to join a conference, and the best one that he can, according to his recent comments at media day. He isn’t going to get a sniff with the SEC, B1G, PAC-12, or ACC. So the next one down the line is the Big 12 . . . and after that it’s the AAC.
Indy has almost no place in the future CFB world…especially the CFP picture, except if you’re ND who has a voice and ACC ties already. But even ND may reconsider its Indy future.
