The Big 12 would like Missouri to be No. 10. "It looks promising right now." If not, its moved on to Louisville.

Yeah... no. If we're settling at 10 TCU shouldnt even be in the picture. If we're adding TCU it at very least should be as part of a package that gets us to 12 or 14.
I don't believe for a second that the Big 12 is stopping at 10 for the long term.
Yeah, they might not add any more schools RIGHT NOW, but I'd bet dollars to donuts that they're adding for the next round of TV negotiations.

If Mizzou stays, stop at 10. Adding BYU would be a mistake, unless they give up their "we don't play on Sundays unless we're getting paid" policy. It'd be bad for the morale of the rest of the conference.
If Mizzou goes, then yeah, go after three more teams. But NOT BYU...
BYU>>>>>>>>TCU.
Who cares if we cant play them on sundays. Its one team, shouldnt be hard to make that schedule work.
Really though our biggest target should be Louisville, WVU if they're available, followed by BYU, and on down remaining big east teams.

Take a look at all of our sports schedules and you'll see that a lot of our minor sports already do a ton of traveling to the east and west coasts. Not a huge deal.
I've felt the same way all along. Colorado felt remote when they were here, and BYU is quite a bit further west than that. Add in the fact that there doesn't seem to be much potential for further expansion west, they would seem like they would be on a permanent island. I still think they would join in a heartbeat since the Pac 12 would never touch them, but if we have more options to the east that may be better for us.
“@drewjay: Big 12's second announcement today is that schools have agreed to grant of TV rights for a minimum of six years. Missouri didn't get to voteâ€
“@ChipBrownOB: As Big East destabilizes, sources tell Orangebloods.com Texas is pushing for Notre Dame to move its "other"sports to B12.”
This is being discussed in another thread.
Please merge
I will only feed the monster.
“@BlairKerkhoff: Talked to two Big 12 athletic dept. officials and they agree: League unsure about a 10- or 12-team future.”
If it comes down to an even vote don't you think the tie-breaker should be the name of your conference? The Big Ten having 12 teams and the Big XII having 9 teams really bugs me.
