I think it’s cute that people continue to take everything said about this by conference commissioners on face value.
My money would be on an invite.
I can't believe The University of American Samoa hasn't gotten more talk regarding Big 12 expansion.
I hear their law school is really great.
Hard to do when all eyes are clearly on Dordt.

Information literacy is a real weakness for folks.
There's been rumblings that Teikyo Westmar is looking to open their doors back up and jump right into D1 status.
Can't wait for the new season of Better Call Saul! I think I'd like him as a negotiator for the Big 12.
Jimmy McGill would absolutely take OU and UT behind the woodshed in this whole deal.
If it hadn’t happened in the Mountain West, it’s likely not happening in this version the Big 12.
More importantly, we’re not interested in turning someone local into another similar program. That’s actually bad for those in the Big 8. We need to add ones already basically there, but also with upside, in a new area. That’s why Cincy, UCF, and BYU are the top 3. Proven Inherent advantages that allow them to punch above their conference brand.
No G5’s in the current footprint can be added. That didn’t work even when we had OuT. Better to make Houston and SMU homeless than to give them an improved home.
Because it’s not just being realistic with them. It’s always so doom and gloom no matter what the discussion is. The statement from the big12 means nada, just like the pac 12 statement didn’t mean squat either.
I think this statement is just as meaningful as the one for the ACC/Big 10/Pac 12 alliance, and that's really saying something.
Can I get an amen?3 certainties...the sun rises in the east, the sun sets in the west and clonedude gonna clonedude.
No current P4/5 is leaving a conference based on “we’re adding Memphis and Houston” too. Houston cannot be added.
Besides that, it’s because like all conferences most of the Pac12’s value is from a few programs. Unless they move, it’s a large downgrade for the other Pac12 schools to join the Big 8. Why would the big brands move? Adding the Big 12 schools would give them more Midwest exposure, MAYBE increasing things long term. But near term it’s probably a wash AT BEST. Why do that rather than jump to a P2, or just hold tight?
Have you ever been to a CSU game? I went to a game in 2002. They were ranked 16th in the country at the time. They announced something like 28,000 but it sure wasn't even that. Just a terrible atmosphere.
CSU ain't happening, and I like CSU, I followed them fairly closely when living in CO. But I can't express the extent to which they are a non-factor. No one cares, and no one will.
Agreed. And it's equally cute that there are apparently some who believe Bowlsby is making statements in his own personal best interest, not necessarily the universities. As if he's gone rogue and forgotten who employs him.
