Worth airport tonight and again tomorrow. The Big 12 expects to have a news conference with an announcement around 6:30 p.m. ET Monday. Whether it's that the TV networks have bought them out remains to be seen. A bundle of loot may well offset the otherwise psychologically damaging effect of having a small conference. Poll: Will there be expansion or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have to expand to survive. If they don't expand they are basically Big East 2.0 and it's only a matter of time until they implode. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that I would have said no if I didn't hear anything last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have too many excuses that can be used to decline the expansion. Everything that is the Big12 keeps hinting towards dumpster fire and their "plans" to expand just might be the biggest trolling ever. Edited October 17, 2016 by Dan C.

I of course hope we are popping beers in celebration mode tomorrow night though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
