UNLV currently gets embarrassed in the MWC. Bringing them into the Big 12 is a guaranteed curb stomping

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

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

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

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

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

Fair point

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

HenderCoug

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

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

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

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

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

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

NorthwestCoug

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

Forzaitalia

8/2/21 2:11pm

Why - none of those teams are going to bring in more money?

BYU Fan

8/2/21 2:11pm

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

BYUHgrad

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?

moknowssports

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

Hey troll, hit your spot under the bridge

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

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
