the AAC and the MWC at the same time. Besides, Bowlsby is royally ticked at the AAC for apparently plotting with ESPN to pick apart his conference. He’s going to want to send the AAC a strong message.
If Big 12 wants to go to 16 to be on par with size of SEC and to protect against possible defections from remaining 8, they can also go after San Diego State and Colorado State and effectively thrust the MWC and the AAC into the the Sun Belt and MAC tier.
That reconstituted Big 12 would be an excellent football conference and an absolutely phenomenal basketball conference.
Buckle up.
