This might be me making stuff up but I believe the Big 12 licensed the name Big 14 just in case? Or am I imagining things?
You are correct.

I hope to hell they do! I'd laugh and laugh! Selfish, back-stabbing, idiotic jerk-offs!Sounds like there is more than one group in the PAC 12 who don't like the idea of PAC-12 expansion.
I always though the Original 8 members were still sore from Utah and Colorado. They may prevent another move.

I only have one question, why does anyone think BYU will join the Big Tweast? They didn't want to join and save the Big 12 which would have been a much better situation than this new conference. I don't think they will give up their independence to join unless they are very insecure about being independent in the new superconference NCAA.

If this were to happen, there is no way we can allow all the Texas teams to be in the same division. They need to be split up evenly to help the rest of the schools have better access to Texas recruits. We don't want to have all the power in the south again because that is a bad set up. Just looking at it those divisions are even more unballanced than the old north / south setup and I'm not sure how it can be done, but the divisions are going to have to be split evenly in terms of power or that collection of schools won't work.

If texas stays and we have divisions we want as many trips to texas per year as possible for recruiting purposes.
If we at ISU get any say in divisional alignment in a conference with UT and OU I will eat my hat.
Would we play a 19 game conference schedule? 12 with divisional opponents and than 7 with cross divisional?Agreed. I will celebrate it as the biggest victory in a long time. Back to 4 non conf games. Division championship possible. Not playing OU/UT every year. Great basketball conference as well.
