It’s also a good example of how hubris can kill a program and rather quickly 

We got a taste of the fast life and then couldn't bring ourselves back to reality.  There won't be any air-conditioned luxury boxes if we have no team or budget.

Sources: Top Big 12 Targets BYU, Cincinnati, UCF & Houston Could Receive Invite This Month

---

Brett McMurphy of The Action Network reports on the Big 12 Conference's possible expansion, including timelines to add BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF.

BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF have emerged as the Big 12’s expansion choices and the league could extend official invitations by the end of this month, sources told The Action Network.

“The league has decided to focus on those four and right now no one else is being targeted,” a source said.

BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF Could Join Big 12 Before Oklahoma & Texas Leave

The four schools potentially could join the league even before Oklahoma and Texas leave for the SEC, a source said. OU and Texas are contractually obligated to remain in the Big 12 until June 30, 2024. However, the Sooners and Longhorns could leave earlier by paying a higher exit fee or reaching a settlement with the Big 12.

Boise State, Memphis, SMU & USF Were Also Considered

After BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF, the next four schools that previously received the most consideration from the Big 12 were Boise State, Memphis, SMU and USF, sources said.

Although several other schools contacted the Big 12 about potential membership, no other universities other than those eight were seriously considered, a source said.

Well it appears now we were “considered” by the B12.

Our Chad energy was too much.

I think a PE joke would work.

Maybe that would be a proper way to end it, or turn it around.

People talk about the fan base and its struggles.  It was forever fractured when they fired Leavitt.  Many have never and swear they will never come back.

In the vein of my previous post, don’t fire a coach until you have enough fans that understand that a football program should be ultimately more important than any coach, even the father of it.

It's a cool area and the stadium is epic.  I was just there.

He should have never been fired.  What I don't understand is the complete apathy by leadership after that.

Might as well try to add Boise to AAC to save face.
