*****The Super, Mega, Huge Big 12 Expansion Thread*****

It will be though, there is no turning back for them now. People are saying on twitter that will be official on the 22nd.

That's 11 days for Texas politics. A lot can happen by then.

I haven't really been following this realignment stuff this time around because, frankly, I didn't think it would happen. Does it seem like the SEC is going to stay unbalanced at 13 or will they grab someone from the ACC? If so who fills that spot?

Florida St.

A&M would make 13 in the SEC. Who will be the 14th? Is it another Big 12 team or do they poach someone from the ACC?

Virginia Tech "appears" to be target #1.

I've heard talk of Clemson or VT. Florida won't let FSU come in and Georgia won't let Georgia Tech come in.

Yep, adding another Baylor-esque team to satisfy politicians.

I bet the ACC goes for UCF then.

 

[CyFever]

Hooray.

Bring on Arkansas or BYU.

 

[acgclone]

There has been some talk that Jerry Jones might pull some of his weight and get Arkansas in the Big XII, which would be awesome.

You're clearly overestimating Jerry Jones

This would be absolute crap, the conference members should have the say, not Texas lawmakers.

 

[MLawrence]

If true does Texas want to add another Texas school to try and get a second game onto the LHN? Or does the conference stay at 9 teams meaning that each team can schedule another cupcake?

Hello, SMU!!

 

[twistedredbird]

Rumor is FSU has already submitted petition to SEC

 

[LutherClone]

Big 12 taking talk of A&M move to SEC 'very seriously'

Bring Louisville in! It would be a great rival for us I think.

You guys are silly if you think that the Texas legislature will let A&M walk away unaccosted.

actually, they might this time because as of now Baylor, Tech both have homes and they might be able to find a home for another of their lesser schools by pushing their weight in the bigXII.

No legislature in session for the rest of the year and the governor is a bit busy to be calling for a special session.

 

[twistedredbird]

anyone done the math on how much ATM will owe in penalties? Guessing it's two years worth.

For the next 2 years. Bienniums in Texas. They won't meet again until Jan. 2013.

Georgia Tech wouldn't WANT in, I don't think. They already left the SEC once.
