Huh? Cal Baptist? Didn’t know how extensive the Big 12 has already reached.

“The Big 12 is currently home to Air Force, Fresno State, Iowa State, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, Northern Iowa, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, South Dakota State, Utah Valley, West Virginia and Wyoming.”

Paving the way out West for football expansion.

No really. I have NO interest in adding another time zone to our conference.

It really should be:

Pac-12 (6): ASU, ORST, Cal Poly, CS Bakersfield, Cal Baptist, Utah Valley

Big 12 (11): ISU, OU, OSU, WVU; NDSU, SDSU, UNI, Air Force, Northern Colorado, Wyoming, Little Rock

That way the Pac-12 remains a viable wrestling conference, and the two geographic footprints make a little more sense.

If only Pac12 teams like Washington, Oregon and Boise State would add wrestling (again).

not sure this is in the best interest of the Big 12 - why add schools just to add???

This is essentially a replacement for Fresno State. The conference's geography will remain somewhat unwieldy, but it will help keep a foot in the door for recruiting in CA.

This is awesome for Big 12 wrestling. Having more high level competition in conference is crucial to keep up with the Big 10.

For Mizzou this has to be great. They go all conference season pounding on MAC teams, get "over-seeded" at NCAA's and underperform. Now they get to see high level competition all the way through their season.

Same request as above, but apparently with Mizzou as the 12th Big 12 team.
