TV Market - Negotiation purpose 2. Alumni Size 3. School Size 4. Team competitiveness - This is not about academics, they can kid themselves all day long. 5. Other factors They actually put out the list of factors to be considered: Strength of athletic dept, fan base size, media market, school's reputation, academic strength.

I think it would be a big bump for us as we would now have a legit path to the championship playoff. Also we could tap into the Texas recruiting market with the added exposure over there.

Well this is happening again.S Supposedly Cincy is a lock , I want USF & UCF only but my assumption is it will be Memphis and Cincy to 12 for now and Houston and UCF to 14. Sell the farm boys, take $1M for 5 years whatever it takes make it happen for USF. And buy some bitcoin if you have not already. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we did, we wouldn't be able to post in this thread anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Big 12 needs bigger markets and access to Florida talent if they want to keep up with the SEC. Even the B1G does better in Florida than they do and they also have access to other recruiting markets the Big 12 doesn't. They are in a island of sorts. I think that will factor in. The weather too.
