I say we tell the BE to let WVU out of their 27 month deal or we invite Louisville tomorrow. Either way we win.

Unless you're Iowa; in which case the only title you can get is one when you can dodge Mich/tO$U.Quote:

I may be in the minority, but living in KC area, I would still like to see a hard push to get MU to stay, then add Louisville and rock it out as the Big 12.
Don't blame the team...they just play who's on the schedule. Blame the league that lived with this arrangement for 20 years.Quote:

I think an 11-team conference is more trouble than it's worth.
If Mizzou somehow did an about-face now, after all that's gone on, the internet zombie fan base would would go bat-*** crazy. Deaton would have to go into hiding. Most folks I talk to are like you - we'd like to keep the old rivalries (which is really what college football is about).Plus - if MU stayed, we'd have Mizzoulander hanging around here forever...Quote:

At this point I put Louisville as more desirable than Missouri. Missouri has practically zero championships in all Big 12 sports, ISU just won another championship last week and keeps blowing by them. Louisville has a bigger athletic budget than Missouri and they want to be in the Big 12.
10 that are in and my choices for 11 and 12 in order:
Louisville
Missouri (even though they're an 8th grade girl)
BYU (would be way above Missouri if they were closer)
Cincy
If we went to 12 with all Big East teams I'd consider going to 14 with BYU/AFA or BYU/BSU. Not as sold on going to 14 with USF/UCF.
The internet zombies are easily distracted. A week later, they'll be on to something else. We could always vote someone off the island if we needed to.Quote:

Any move to 12 (or 14) teams has to work around one immutable fact: the remaining conference teams are going to receive less per team, at least in the short term. From a fan perspective, 12 is great: easier road to division titles, the conference name matches its # of members, etc.Quote:

Nobody gets added to the Big 12 unless the league is sure it can make up that share of revenue in the next TV deal. That means 10 teams for now, like it or not.

For some reason, I don't want Cincy in our conference. If it got to that point, (Missouri leaving), stay at 10 and wait to see what ND is wanting to do. *Although I don't think ND will join any conference for FB.* So in that case, get BYU or poach Kentucky over Cincy IMO.
I'm with Stewo, unconvinced of Erik's argument and would be intrigued to hear more about Al's proposition.Quote:
