How so? Can you really say you would be excited to play Duke or Syracuse. Miami would be the only one that would be somewhat interesting and that's because they are in state, they aren't what they used to be and certainly don't draw the crowds thye use to either. ND would be gone if the others left, it would basically just be the BE all over again minus our biggest rival WV. I don't want to take a step back to the BE. Playing the likes of Baylor, TCU OKState just seems more exciting to me.

If this were to happen then MWC and AAC must combine to create a super conference or they will both be irrelevant.

ACC without Clemson, UNC, UV, and FSU is a crap conference. Better than what we are now, but not by much. Would rather be a part of Big12 as long as it is not dramatically changed.

Maybe money for now yes, but in terms of competition, the ACC is garbage right now (Pitt beat Wake for the title). If this is the current strength of the conference I would put it more like SEC BIG10 BIG12 even without OU & UT ACC PAC12

Did anyone listen to discover what this "credible" source is?

Just to have some fun, especially while watching all these bowl games, and because the holidays are a time for hope and wishful thinking. If we do in fact get a call up to the Big 12 I would love for the Big 12 to go huge! I've seen mention of the Big 12 going as big as 24 which sounds crazy at first but the more I think about it the more I like it. There are some teams I would love to be in a conference with (both for travel and competition). My dream vision West Division 1. SDSU - (Great travel destination and competitive program) 2. Boise State - Obvious competitive program 3. Colorado State - Travel destination and program has invested in athletics. 4. Air Force - Travel, military, and good rival for CSU, Army. and Navy. 5. Utah State - good BYU rival. 6. BYU North Division 1. Iowa State, 2. Kansas, 3. Kansas state, 4. Memphis, 5. UC 6. NIU - Only because we need another team in the north and they have had some success, also new market. South Division 1. TCU, 2. Houston, 3. SMU, 4. TTU, 5. Baylor, 6. OK State East Division 1. Army - I would love to be in the same conference as all the military academies (viewership, history, gameday experience) 2. Navy - same as Army and Air Force. 3. USF. 4. UCF. 5. WVU. 6. UAB - Just because we need another team in the division and they are the best option competition wise, also new market Of course none of this will happen and is just for $#!+s and giggles so don't poo all over it. Just would be really fun and create a force among the other conferences in terms of numbers and competition while crippling the conferences beneath leaving little room for other conferences to grow. In a perfect world.....

I've toured many stadiums and campuses, however I always go back to TCU's stadium as my favorite. Their facilities are very impressive and the gameday atmosphere is a blast. Their capacity is currently 50K but we would obviously be shooting around the 40k mark. It was built in 2010 for $160 mil and they just did a $100 mil expansion. This is the model I would most like to see

Only posting to keep this thread alive and at the top of the page. The further down it sinks on the page the more my hopes of us getting out of a relegated conference diminish!
