Big 12 expansion again?

[namuh-bull]

There are rumors going around that the Big 12 is going to expand again, and has Louisville and BYU as targets. Here's one that's even more interesting. Check this out http://texas.247spor...emson-7205316/1 I would really like us to move to a nicer conference and am jealous of those turds from WVU, but I think the linked possibility would be a great strategic move for the Big 12 if they can pull it off. Then again rumors are in no short supply when it comes to college football.

Go Bulls!

I really can't imagine either school leaving the ACC to fight for a distant third place in stature and power to Texas and Oklahoma. The SEC or Big 10 would be a big step up, not so with the Big 12.

It would be absolutely hilarious for Pitt and Syracuse to join the ACC and see FSU and Clemson jump ship.

We need to start raising $10 million.

Which is more appealing, a FSU/Clemson less ACC or the BEast in 2013?

I wish this whole thing would just go away....

Yup the whole thing is getting really old.

I would bet my third testicle that by 2014 USF will be in the Big 12 or ACC; the remains of the BE will merge with C-USA/MWC.

Money, not geography, pride, tradition, or heritage of the sport will matter. Grab the big TV markets and the $ will follow; USF may still be building as a program, but our market is **** good....

Hard to believe that a gambling man like you would still have a third testicle at this age.

If this should happen at any time between now and 2014, when SU and Pitt, then USF will be a shoe-on for the ACC. That conference does not want to lose any ground in FL and UM can no longer carry it by itself.....the B12 is a dream butthe ACC is just a matter of time.

I think however, that we will not see to much movement beyond what the B12 and BE must do to attain 12.....my reasoning lies in the fact that I do not see the AQ status going away. The BCS has always taken small steps and lately all you hear about is the +one model. If they can agree on that then I see all other factors staying the same.....because under this format the BE can continue to be the punchline of all after they prove they cannot advance to the next round, "nothing to see hear." while I think we are better than that, most will see it that way. Therefore, if the +one is accepted i think all else rains the same, including expansion, minus any final touches by the BE and the B12.
