Big 12 realignment is back...looks like real changes coming soon.
- Thread starter Mesaclone1
- Start date
Just don't see the love for CSU. Big 12 won't go west. It would take UCF before CSU. I am beginning to think that UCONN would be too much of an outlier as well and the Big 12 might look at Memphis.
More than that, why would we go MT after adding ET? Nothing like 3 timezones and putting a new team on an island just like WVU.....
I wonder how excited Tech is about traveling to UCONN. It's only one timezone...
That is why I think Memphis would be better. And Texas Tech is in Lubbock. They are probably happy to leave for a while.
what the hell are you talking about?? CSU is who someone brought up... nothing about Tech....

Until the new Big Ten deal is signed there's nothing but speculation. Nothing is going to happen until then (or until the details are known by the leadership of various conferences, which might be a couple months before the dotted line is signed)
Kelvin Sampson coaches MBB there. Since the Big 12 missed out on the Petino scandal by not getting Louisville, we can assure ourselves of scandal by bringing Sampson back to the conference...
I'm "Team BYU (football only)." Why? Because football keeps power conferences together. Not basketball.

I would take UCONN and Cincy in a heartbeat. I think heading East is Smart. I would think Memphis would be the next pick. I think the more interesting discussion is what ACC teams we poach. I think it is 2 of these 4. Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville, Florida St.
While I agree we shouldnt go too far west like BYU. CSU isn't that far away. CSU is closer to big 12 schools than UConn is to WVU. Plus Cincy can be solve WVU problem of having no schools by them. UConn would be another island.
This map makes it obvious the correct choices are Memphis and Cincinnati.
I haven't researched this subject very much, outside of what i read here, so could you explain to me why the ACC is so much easier to poach teams from than the Big 12? Why are is the Big 12 on such solid footing to poach from another P5 conference when all the talk on the street is how the Big 12 is the conference that isn't surviving?
They have a GOR just like us, right?
Only reason I want CSU because Colorado is a great state and I would love to go back to having a Big 12 team there.
Expanding outwards worries you? Add UConn, Cinci, CSU and BYU. Divide division up east and west. Split some of the teams in the center to either division.
