USF needs to get so good in football the next few years the B12/rest of P5 MUST get USF into a P5 conference. It didn't help Boise but their market sucks. It definitely helped TCU. That's asking alot

The big 12 will have to expand its just of matter of when. The longer the better for us especially if we can keep the momentum going through the bowl game and into next season. If we can win a confere

It could be the case that we get into a P5 and then right after that announce plans for an OCS.

B12: "Are you planning to build you own stadium?"

USF: "You get us into the conference and we'll start building a stadium."

Not so fast...

Scott supports the Big Ten's amendment to NCAA legislation that would allow the Big 12 to stage a championship game with 10 teams, but only between division winners.

The B10 has been adamant about not expanding for the sake of expanding. If push comes to shove and the B10 will need a CCG to qualify for the playoffs, I think they will split to two 5-team divisions rather than expand.

true, but don't you think they would want 2 additional baby seals to club as in conference games?

I think the other conferences and the playoff committee have pretty much said that "you need to start looking like the rest of us" The Big 12 will eventually expand, but will try everything else first... dissolving is another likelihood, or at least dissolving like the BE did.

I guarantee you some sort of shuffling is going down this summer. This time last year, it was quiet. There's smoke this year.

The most quiet and easiest path: the Big 12 add two teams. Loud and noisy: big shuffling and movements between the P5s.

If the Big 12 adds two teams, USF has about 25% as an independent, say like with Cincy or some other school, and 30% as a combo with clown-U because of the TV market and the rivalry.

No way they go with BYU. Too complicated with the scheduling. UConn makes no sense for traveling. Houston makes no sense for TV territory.

It's dodge ball team picking time. Only the chunky kids are left!

Smile and suck in your gut, USF!

Wouldn't that mean a schedule where you play everyone in your division once and 4/5 teams in the other? Seems like a recipe for disaster with all the different combinations of complaints over somebody missing such and such team in their schedule.

Two five-team divisions would allow the Big 12 to continue their round-robin play... and really doesn't affect their schedule, it just means the two "best" teams may not be in the CG.  (Think Clemson & Florida State - what the ACC wants to do).

In reality, the Big Ten amendment is to undo what the ACC wants to do -- and has no real effect on the Big Twelve.

Oh, and one more VERY IMPORTANT thing to remember.  This has to be voted by ALL  of DIVISION ONE.  This is not part of the "Autonomy" for the P5 -- so all schools in the FBS, FCS, and even Division III (no football) have to vote on this.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
