Maybe USF's silence will be Golden,

Yea the Big 12 would be a good move long term for us. The ACC won't rest until the BE is destroyed anyways and we'll beable to get away from that madness. We'll be able to attract a high caliber of athelete because the Big 12 is better than the SEC in power rankings right now.

And Cincy would hate us forever. Hope this is going to end soon.

I a.gree with you in theory, but the reality is what is USF supposed to do? (I would be very surprised if the B12 takes USF, btw). At this point if you do not take this you risk irrelevancy.

USF's closest conference mate now is 730 miles (flight) / 875 miles (drive) away as it is now.

What makes that much difference if you have a 3 hour flight to Louisville or a 4 hour flight to Stillwater?? 1 hour. It's not ridiculous.

Right now this is the best move for USF. The BE is dead and the combination of a weakened BE, weakened MWC & USA is nothing more than a large non AQ conference. Travel costs will be offset from a larger piece of a larger pie. I think the move is mutually beneficial to the B12 and USF. Lets pray this works out.
