Schultz is back All-American

If Gonzaga were to come to the Big12 there will be years when they would be the top dog. Most years not, but they would instantly be one of the top 2 or 3 teams in the league on a regular basis.

It complicates travel. And what about all of their other sports?

I’ve never understood why a travel partner is such a big deal.

I don’t know, but that is not my concern. How do the non-revenue sports afford

Go look up how many times they've advanced in the NCAA tournament

You believe they will be less prepared for the NCAA Tournament if in the Big 12?

Not a fan. I think having an orphan program that doesn't bring football doesn't

You should look up Big 12 wrestling. You might find someone surprising there.

PURE Speculation but I actually think the Big 12 pumps the brakes on Gonzaga because there may be an opportunity to get
