The Big 12 simply can't afford to add BYU

http://m.deseretnews.com/article/865607780/Teeples-The-Big-12-simply-cant-afford-to-add-BYU.html

For those hoping to go to the B12....

Would be nice if BYU hopped on with us

 

Would have also been nice if TCU stayed...and Boise stayed...and WVU stayed...and Pitt stayed...and Cuse stayed..and Louisville stayed....

 

sigh

The former BE and top of MWC/CUSA should've just merged. It'd have a gigantic footprint, many prestigious universities, and a nice TV deal, I bet.

 

BYU

Boise

TCU

SDSU

Nevada

Air Force

Fresno

Houston

 

WVU

Pitt

Cincy

USF

UConn

Cuse

UL

Rutgers

The hosts on Sirius/XM's college sports channel opined last night that Big12 should wrap up the era of realignment by taking two from the following:

 

BYU

Boise

Cincy

The guy is an idiot.  BYU has a terrific TV following, but it isn't concentrated in a particular market so that poses some issues.  Cincinatti makes some sense.  Boise, however is a disaster from a TV perspective.  Idaho isn't exactly a coveted TV market.  If USF fans feel left out at the moment, Boise fans should be downright depressed.  Boise is wayyy down the pecking order.

I just read an article from the AAC on Facebook about the Big 12 poaching us and some others.

It was probably a comedy bit written by UCFers.

Wouldn't put too much stock into that ....According to Facebook, USF isn't one of the top 3 favorite football teams on campus.

Just read the article. Leaving out uconn and substituting ecu is hard to believe. Article states events will unfold in 4 weeks time.

I really hope that is what will happen but I'm not holding my breath.  We badly need that P5 TV money...
