So this morning I was trying to think of this a different way. Instead of teams joining the Mountain West, what about the Big 12 just expanding and replacing. Now, I am assuming Texas, ATM, Okla, OSU, TT, and Colorado are going. Here is a list of teams I cam up with that may or may not be realistic:
Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State
Baylor (or Colorado depending on who goes to Pac 10)
Cincinnati
Louisville
TCU
BYU
Utah
Boise St
Memphis
Houston
Also, it is becoming less and less likely that Mizzou is actually going to be in the Big 10 so I could have added them back in. Now for this to happen the Big 10 would have to take 1 or 2 Big East teams (Rutgers & Pitt) otherwise I don't think Cincy or Louisville would want to leave.
What would everyoene think of a conference make up like this?
