Well if Notre Dame has to get in or out, and they choose out, then I'm okay with adding both 'Nova and Georgetown in BB to get to 16. Really, the only other consideration would be St. John's, who I guess you could take instead of one of those two.

If this thing happens, ISU will become the next WVU. We can win a lot in that league. There will be hurdles, but winning can help everything.
The only downfall of WVU in the NWO version of the Big 12 is we get to deal with Bob Huggins again. There are few coaches I despise more than him.
Oh well...it still would be a pretty sweet conference. Dare I say, too sweeeeeeeeet!

Wow ... talk about a possible incredible hard football schedule if it includes the current members of the Big 12. YIKES!!!!!!!

Starting to look great. Now all we need is some ******* to rip the carpet out from us tomorrow morning.

More in depth look of a possible Big 22 conference...Mt West/Conf USA merger. Would expand from Hawaii to East Carolina...

Also heard a rumor that they weren't accepted (at least not yet). WVU seems to be trying to get out of the Big East as fast as they can now that things are starting to move.
And was denied, according to Greg Swaim. But it's possible they are not prepared to do a two front legal war with both the Big 12 and Big East. Maybe they figure one of the two conferences will fold outright and they will be able to pick up whomever without penalty. Or maybe they really are waiting on Mizzou.
SO many possibilities, it will be difficult to sleep tonight...:SLEEP:
Even later news is that they were rejected. I cannot find the link, but that was the rumor.
(I guess I can write for the Austin Statesman now?)
Here's another good football school looking for a home and the Big 12 has their pants down thanks to OU's Boren, ironically, the chair of our expansion committee.
This might be me making stuff up but I believe the Big 12 licensed the name Big 14 just in case? Or am I imagining things?
Can they do that if every school that plays football is already committed to a different conference? Doesn't make any sense. (assuming of course UConn/Rutgers ends up in ACC/B1G)
