As most know, Big 12 leaders are meeting in Dallas/Ft. 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?

Not sure, but one thing for sure we picked a good season to play well again.

I say all the talk about not expanding was a distraction so that the prez's could figure out what schools they wanted to add without it leaking.. 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.

I say yes based on what I heard last weekend before the ECU game. I have to say that I would have said no if I didn't hear anything last weekend.

The pessimist in me says "No", even though they openly invited applications and spent the time interviewing candidate schools. 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.

Big 12 looks pretty stupid if all of this was for nothing...that will be national perception I think.

I say the announcement is that there will not be expansion and we will have to continue to wait. I of course hope we are popping beers in celebration mode tomorrow night though.
