Common sense.

Adding a school with <10k undergrads in a city (and has a lot of trouble getting 20k fans to its football games!) we already have completely locked up that just divides the pot more without adding anything to the conference, will not do anything to keep the conference together.

I expect ND or BYU, OR Air Force to join. I'm not too worried.

Boomer has a good point with his last tweet:

LandThieves LandThieves



you dont "issue a statement" to say yes to a conference invite you hold a press conference BYU sending a Dear John letter to Dan Beebe

Reading through Chip's piece

Orangebloods.com - What's next for the Big 12?

I couldn't help but think of the following long-shot senario:



Big 12 takes Pitt

SEC takes 3 schools from ACC/Big East to get to 16.

ACC replaces schools from Big east to get back to 12

Big East is left with likely TCU, Cincy, Louisville, South Florida, Rutgers as the only
football playing schools left


The questions then are...
1. Does the Big 10 go to 16?
2. Does the Big 12 offer Notre Dame and either BYU or Louisville?
3. What happens to the remaining Big East schools? Merge with ACC or invite Central Florida, Houston, East Carolina?

I'm sure this has a .1% chance of happening, but I wouldn't mind it if the SEC was the only conference at 16 and we ended up trading Nebraska, Colorado, aTm for Pitt, Notre Dame, and BYU.

BYU is going to issue a statement today. Hopefully good news, but I'm expecting the worst.
