Anybody else kinda hoping tcu and baylor get left out?

Have to have the BIG 12 delay expansion as USF is just not ready to present a good case. USF needs to get their fan average around the 50K mark for football and 6 to 8K average for basketball. USF needs to get better interest and right now we are at a very low point.

If we averaged 40k, had more TV viewers and committed to build an OCS... We'd be a great candidate.

and for those hoping it comes to pass, indeed Baylor & TCU are indeed, left out.

They will be looking at either appealing to have a championship game or expanding after today's decision.  The BIG XII will be chaotic.

We just need to offer ourselves at a prorated revenue split equal to our aac split for X years. We will end up making more money from increased ticket sales and merchandise.

Comment section is hilarious

It's also a good sample of how other fans/schools feel about what's happen

Somebody tweet this to Harlan, just in case he hasn't thought of it yet

^^^^^. See, I disagree, to a certain extent...

Not truly knowing, but could the Big 12 renegotiate their TV contract, with the addition of new teams, and have the new teams be pro-rated?

If that was the case, it could be a huge win for the Big 12 from $'s to recruitung, to new viewers

Jeff Long, Selection Committee Chair did a video interview on ESPN saying Ohio State's quality THIRTEENTH win was the decisive factor.

No way they can win though, the other P5 conferences have had to dilute their earnings by having a minimum of 12 teams. If they did win an appeal, the 10 best teams from each conference could split and form smaller ones with bigger revenue splits. Think things are chaotic now?
