could it be that everyone realized the Big 10 IS NOT expanding right now and then thought - wow maybe superconferences aren't inevitable, and maybe we aren't going to get more money just by virtue of adding some more teams?

I would rather not have a community college in our conference. We don't need to dumb down our conference anymore than it already is. We have Tech and K State for that already.
At very least the other 8 (plus whoever we add) should create their own network.
The same reason they put TCU? They know absolutely nothing about why conferences do and do not add teams..
If you have the option to come to a reformed conference with Texas and OU or invite Navy, ECU, Houston, Mempis, UCF, etc., what would you choose?
When A&M receives the waivers it needs which I expect to happen soon, please close this thread. I'd be fine to see it deleted.

Pac-12 decision came down Scott meeting with Texas and realizing there was no way the conference could be one of equals. So they passed.
@Jake_Trotter: Been told this Pac-12 announcement has more to do w/ Texas than OU, but OU clearly missed its chance. Sounds like the best of the B12 ironically had Texas' greed to thank.

DePaul has a better chance of starting a football team and moving up to a BCS conference than Boise State does. Sounds like hyperbole but it's all really that stupid.
The Big East is down to 7 members after TCU joins, and FBS newbie Villanova will belong to a BCS conference while SMU, Hawaii, Boise State, Nevada, Fresno State, Houston, Southern Miss, UCF, and BYU don't. Makes perfect sense.

The BE needs one more team no matter what. Who do they get? I think they will grab either UCF or ECU, maybe both. I ask, because we might have a fight over teams left.
We first take BYU. I could see us sit for a year or two to get contracts/ tv network started and then go after a couple BEs or an AF and best of the remainders. The Pitt/Cuse thing really whacks us a little. If we go after their teams now, that might topple their conference and we look like the sec.
I do hope academics are considered some. I really don't want a thug school with the image of Miami running around our conference. We already have tech and k state, don't want more.
