I think you overestimate the impact of CSU. Houston over CSU.

Better team, better fit for B12.

My best case scenario for BYU

Brigham

7/28/21 9:14am

you think Cinci would reject an invite to join a new BigXII?

Avery

7/28/21 9:16am

I don't know if they would. I don't know if they view it as on upgrade.

Brigham

7/28/21 9:17am

Of course it’s an upgrade. Higher upside schools, and no dogs at the bottom.

I don't think the B12 adding 4 non-P5 teams helps their case to retain A5 status

That may well be true. I am not a fan of big conferences.

Brigham

7/28/21 9:18am

Does it really matter with 6 auto bids in the CFP? Some of the teams left

The 12 team playoff is in jeopardy with the OU/TX move. SI had an article they

Great...

Refugee

7/28/21 9:24am

You know, if that happens, I’m wondering how much more mental bandwidth

Needs to be BYU and Cinci. If 4 add UCF then Houston.

Turnpike Lane

7/28/21 9:19am

Not Houston. No disrespect, but they don't add additional footprint.

Brigham

7/28/21 9:22am

The city of Houston would be THE LARGEST footprint in the conference

CougarCanuck76

Houston might be necessary for legacy B12 teams to get sufficient games in Texas

Finally, someone who gets it.

BornNotBuilt

7/28/21 10:38am

The difference here is that the others would actually have to kick out the B12

Doogal McCougar

The first problem with that line of thinking is "dilute their product"

2FarGone

agree. however, the political baggage byu carries has not gone away. there

johnnycarson

7/28/21 9:18am

It has lessened a bit but still there. But Baylor can relate.

Turnpike Lane

7/28/21 9:20am

Except that is not what prevented it last time

2FarGone

7/28/21 9:25am

Because it didn't even get that far.

johnnycarson

7/28/21 9:30am

There is no way Houston is left out of any BigXII Expansion

Taking Houston over Cincinnati or UCF is like taking USU over BSU. Bad decision.

Turnpike Lane

I disagree. When you look at revenue from non-P5 programs for the 2019-2020

cougarfan84

Compare that to current revenue in the Big 12:

Outcomes in order of likelihood:

byujdmba

7/28/21 9:29am

Yeah I disagree completely. B12 more likely by far than AAC. We have already said no to AAC and never to B12 yet

Turnpike Lane

7/28/21 9:30am

It's the negative nelly in me.

byujdmba

7/28/21 9:31am

We're not going to the AAC, but the status quo is always the most likely outcome

2FarGone

7/28/21 9:35am

I think MWC is more likely than a depleted AAC if B12 steals their top 4 teams

Bandit

7/28/21 9:42am

AAC is not an option. BYU can’t but their Indy schedule

If only for a regional travel partner for BYU. But that’s about it.

The obsession with Cincy makes zero sense for the big 12

Stev_ie

7/28/21 10:24am

I include them as a partner for WVU and access to the Ohio/Pennsylvania market.

Brigham

7/28/21 10:29am

I don't see how Cincinnati brings the PA market. Cincy is right on the border
