Big 12 will survive and prosper...

I'm hearing BYU is a sure thing, just waiting in the wings and 2 "eastern schools" to grow our footprint and TCU will never join cuz us "also rans" will not let anymore texas schools in.

Any incite as to who these two teams may be? Louisville, Cinci, USF, reaching here but...Notre Dame????
 
Beck and Ketel get a room!!
And since Ketel is media.... you may be right.
 
lets wait to see what happens before we get into the told you so showdowns. Rebecacy has made some facsinating claims on how this will turn out, I find them to be absolute best possible case (save losing our leader) for the future of the conference and the future of Iowa State, but again - lets see how it actually turns out before getting too excited

my bold prediction, the I told you so forum could have more posts than the longest thread in history, by my count of my own posts with over 100 posts on this subject, I think I can find at least 51 that proclaimed confidence that it works out well for the good guys.
 
I'd like to see I'd like to see Louisville, Cincinnati, and BYU if not ND. 12 teams would also be much better than 10. We get a championship game again, and hopefully not the same division as Texas and Oklahoma.

Wide open, when this comes together with unity, equity and stability..............we can interview and pick those that bring the most to the conference == ala the Big Ten. Gawd I love the sound of that.
 
Notre Dame will at least need a place for their Olympic Sports if the Big East collapses.

:yes:

If you are right (still have to use if to not jinx anything...), BYU and Louisville have to seem like locks. If we can swing West Virginia, that would be ideal (although I think they will be SEC). Team #12 could be interesting. A lot of competition for that last spot.
 
Although I don't think it will happen, but I would love to see WVU join the B12. Holgerson's offense playing with real offenses like OU and OSU. Wow!
 
This just looks beautiful to me.
