it will be because we lost some teams to other conferences.

Smoke and more smoke

It will only happen if it makes money.

I think the B12 is considering the move to prevent potential loss of future

I think it’s a foregone conclusion that Boise State and Memphis

Based on what?

Emmett Fitz-Hume

Because it would stink so it will happen

The only foregone conclusion re: Boise and Memphis joining the B12 is...

Does BSU even have anything else that would justify adding them?

Multiple BigXII AD’s on record saying safety and stability in numbers…

We’re in so don’t care. But they really should have added BYU and Louisville in 2012. Idiots.

I care. More G5s, more dilution, less respect, less chance of staying at the

It may not matter if it delves into two superconferences. SEC and B1G

TNT

5/17/22 7:40pm

Too many teams get left out in that scenario.

LiveCoug

5/17/22 7:41pm

You expect this to be fair?

TNT

Ha, silly mortals.

Q-grr

That's a feature, not a flaw

ColoSpgs

Who honestly gets left out in that scenario?

krindorr

5/18/22 12:36pm

The P12, ACC and B12?

LiveCoug

5/18/22 12:45pm

Not any of the teams that 'matter' in those conferences

krindorr

5/18/22 12:52pm

We aren’t even P5 yet and you are looking down your nose?

Heck ya. TNT will wear that badge with pride

TNT

5/17/22 8:23pm

Yes. I want to stay P5

LiveCoug

5/17/22 8:30pm

There's been a pretty big difference between BYU and those two teams for decades

I hope not. Any additional G5 won’t bring enough revenue to not

Smurf turf is a nonstarter for me

Good football (but seemingly trending down), but not solid basketball

Certainly not great, but much improved the past few years

Should add academics BSU RANKS 350 and WSJ ranks BSU 601 that is just sad. But huge advantage in recruiting for

Cougarpride

BSU twice?

ManicBlue

5/17/22 10:51pm

No - two separate reports. WSJ is Wall Street Journal’s rankings and the first comes from another source

Cougarpride

Their trucking program is top notch

Awesome. Any BYU fan that doesn’t want Boise in the Big12 is letting jealousy…

Marc Spector

365 Sports believes by adding these two teams, it erases the only two viable G5 schools from the expansion board

Cougarpride

5/18/22 8:12am

I honestly felt it should have been BSU rather than Houston. I'd still welcome

Schrodizzy

5/18/22 10:01am

Houston was a WAY more solid addition than Boise State.

HiLife

5/18/22 10:23am

Disagree on Boise > Houston but agree that Boise + Memphis will eventually be added

krindorr

It's my opinion that it'll be just those two. If we add anymore beyond that then

Schrodizzy

5/18/22 1:38pm

That seems reasonable

krindorr

5/18/22 1:55pm

Not smoke, just an influx of alumni funds since they narrowly missed out

Hill4Heisman

5/18/22 12:05pm

Narrowly? I very much doubt that. Probably the first two out but I don’t think

Soy Celeste

5/18/22 1:15pm

Agreed. Most likely first two out, but they probably feel like they were close

Hill4Heisman

5/18/22 2:23pm

Sounds like the Big 12 is on the same track that killed Big East football.

Blue Coat

Here's a write-up on that

krindorr

5/18/22 1:29pm

Everything depends on how the 4 new teams do. If they come in and compete

Bobmarleyjr

5/18/22 1:06pm

Big 12 better be careful to not get watered down

FT487

5/18/22 1:25pm

I don't think that's really the concern

krindorr

5/18/22 2:37pm

Still adds fuel to the thought that the B12 is not a P5 conference

ManicBlue

5/18/22 3:06pm

Here's why I've maybe come around on adding more

krindorr

5/18/22 3:19pm

I don't mind adding more teams. I just don't think BSU adds anything or has the

ManicBlue

5/18/22 5:04pm

That's the real question - who to consider (given that no P5 is currently realistically on the table)

krindorr

5/18/22 6:53pm

I like UNLV more for potential than for what they've done in the past.

ManicBlue

5/18/22 8:59pm

Agree - UNLV is a sleeping giant...but very asleep at the moment

Don’t expect any movement until the TV deal is being negotiated. Big12 is still eying PAC 10 1/2 schools
