ISU - KU, KSU or just KSU??
OSU - TT?
TCU - BU?
WVU - Cincy?

Big 12 Protected Football Games
- Thread starter cyfan92
- Start date
They'll will keep rivals together most likely ISU, Kansas, Kansas State and maybe Oklahoma State to. Then south it will be Baylor, Houston, TCU, Texas Tech. WVU, Cincinnati, and Central Florida out there in the east. That's how I'd see it is at the end of day for protected games if that's what you mean by asking.
Outside of KU-KSU do you need to protect any?
Keeping teams playing each other regularly shouldn't be difficult in a 12 team league if the Big Ten is guaranteeing regular matchups in a 16 team league. Plus, frankly, there's a lot more history to protect in the Big Ten than there is in the new Big 12.
Probably blowing everything up in the not too distant future anyway...

After we get to 16 teams I’d say KU, KSU, and OSU hopefully.
If staying at 12 I could see something stupid like stuck with BYU and/or Cincinnati(which might not be a bad future rivalry).

The reason I say three(with the thought of having 16 teams) is everyone plays the their same 3 every year. Then the other 12 are played once every two years. 6 one year, other 6 the next. Clean cut, you get to keep some rivalries alive(some will probably have to create new ones), and you play everyone in your conference at least once every two years.
