From our friends at ute hub, specifically Ute2
"All you expansion gurus out there…
So we’re likely taking SMU and SDSU. I understand that SDSU is a given no matter what.
What is preventing us from going in and poaching from the actual Big12? In researching tv ratings and stuff, it seems the most valuable move would be to poach the top 3-4 programs already in the big 12, cripple it and go forward that way. I know Kliavkoff tried it but USC scuttled it awhile back.
But what’s stopping us from trying again?
Is it a new GOR in place? Is it that the big12 teams don’t want to dance anymore? Thoughts?"
Can our expansion gurus comment on that? (Cheese fries, Medute, Bigute...)
