Crazy thought: BIG12 should expand NOW to 16 teams

BruceBruce

You take 2-4 so you're not responsible for kicking UT or OU out

I dont understand how adding 6 teams now would be kicking TXOU out

BruceBruce

8/2/21 1:05pm

Isn't there something in the contract with espn that new members added would be

8/2/21 2:12pm

Very short sighted. I’m sure it will work out for the Big East… I mean Big12

Hmmm...you might have something here. If Texas and Oklahoma took

It is a crazy thought

8/2/21 1:05pm

Big 12 should go West and prepare to scoop up whatever else is left of the P12

8/2/21 1:11pm

So are you all thinking the BIG12 implodes before the GOR expire?

BruceBruce

BYU , CSU, San Diego ST. , UNLV, Cincinnati, UCF,

I like this as well

BruceBruce

8/2/21 1:25pm

Yes! I've been saying for years that the Toreros should be promoted to FBS!

WhyaskY?

8/2/21 1:43pm

Absolutely no on SDU, CSU, UNLV; it's about eyeballs and reputation

krindorr

8/2/21 2:11pm

Fair point

UNLV offers a growing media market, an NFL stadium, and a sure win.

HenderCoug

8/2/21 2:42pm

Over the last 4 years, UNLV has 2.3M viewers combined; UCF has 6 games with more

krindorr

You're wrong on the 'no investment in football' part though.

ManicBlue

8/2/21 5:15pm

Thanks for the heads up; missed that. Overall point stands

krindorr

8/2/21 6:20pm

Short term for sure but trend for them is definitely upward and they have a

ManicBlue

8/2/21 7:02pm

Yeah, but it's a LOT of growth required

krindorr

8/2/21 7:04pm

I think they'd get much better faster than Kansas will. Just saying.

ManicBlue

8/2/21 8:15pm

I've been in Vegas for 27 years, and UNLV has never given me anything to cheer

HenderCoug

8/3/21 9:39am

Yup ... they've always had crappy facilities far from campus for football but

ManicBlue

8/3/21 12:19pm

Just look at how dominant Temple and Tennessee St have while sharing NFL stadium

krindorr

8/3/21 12:34pm

Different situations altogether and if you can't see that, nothing I say will

ManicBlue

8/3/21 12:50pm

It's certainly an upgrade for UNLV, no doubt and they should welcome it

SDSU & UNLV would likely have to be after this initial round

CaliWG

8/2/21 2:55pm

I would add four--BYU, Cinci, UCF and Houston--and call it good.

Jay Kay

8/2/21 1:29pm

If the Big 12 does try and rebuild, this is really the only one that makes sense

Gorum the Old

8/2/21 2:33pm

This is the minimum the B12 needs to add now

CaliWG

8/2/21 2:45pm

If we get in I hope I hope Boise does too

8/2/21 1:33pm

So that they will be the only P5 with a school ranked 300+ academically?

Bobmarleyjr

8/2/21 4:53pm

Add BYU, Houston, Cincy and UCF.

Doogal McCougar

8/2/21 1:45pm

Good idea. Too bad B12 are reactive leaders with poor foresight. It'll kill them

I would add BYU, Houston, UCF along with BSU (FB only) and Gonzaga (all but FB).

8/2/21 2:14pm

Football only is basically saying they’re good but not good enough.

Bobmarleyjr

8/2/21 4:54pm

You can't expand NOW as you suggest; also do OU/UT have to approve expansion?

8/2/21 2:16pm

Per Big 12 bylaws, OU and UT would not have a vote on expansion

Doogal McCougar

8/2/21 2:38pm

This is not about bringing in more money NOW, it is about

BruceBruce

8/2/21 2:35pm

Exactly. So many are losing sight of the ultimate goal.

CaliWG

8/2/21 2:50pm

Based on your list the last team would have to be Memphis, USF or SDSU

CaliWG

8/2/21 2:58pm

The best advantage of this approach would be that it would pin the pac 12

Really? And what if BYU doesn't get invited to the Big XII?

Elwood Blues

8/2/21 4:12pm

We don’t have time to catch people up to speed when they have spent the last

travelcoug

8/2/21 4:20pm

Oh c'mon, bring me up to speed. Did BYU get an invite? If so, did they accept?

Elwood Blues

8/2/21 5:24pm

Hey troll, hit your spot under the bridge

travelcoug

8/2/21 5:27pm

Can't figure out why many are in love with Boise. What exactly do they add?

ManicBlue

8/2/21 5:03pm

Agree: I'd take AF over Boise St. Great academics, solid football program with

Air Force has been ranked once in 20+ years

Honestly, I think it would just create a bigger gap between the neutered big 12

here's to hoping

8/2/21 6:01pm

Colorado State instead of Navy, I think CSU could be far more valuable long term
