Houston and Cincinnati would be a solid team to bring into the Big 12, but I also like Arkansas. No particular reason, except they are in a solid geographical location for the conference, but I think they are also a school with a decent basketball team and football has the facilities, but they just can’t seem to get over the hump yet. I’d like to have them

I'm a fan of geographic conferences wouldn't mind having Arky and Mizzou in conference but don't see either one leaving the SEC! SEC! I still don't understand why the SEC took Miizzou they really didn't gain much.

Because they wanted Tamu but also wanted an even number of teams.

Ya, I’m not sure how happy Arkansas is or isn’t with the SEC, but I feel like they’re more suited for the Big 12, because no one in the SEC even acknowledges they exist really, kind of like Iowa state has been historically, but they aren’t a bad institution for sports, and maybe that’s why I’d like to have them. Their football stadium is recently renovated and they have a pretty solid fan base also. Not holding my breath, but I’d love to watch the Cyclones and Razorbacks square off yearly

OH God, BYE!!! Please go! Take WVU with you too.

I didn't think the XII should have added them in the first place, and since all the scandals went down I felt they should have booted them.
Now, I just think we put them and WVU together as a package deal and trade for someone better. Oh if it only worked that way.

Even though I cant stand Mizzou, I still would rather have them back, for many reasons over both WVU and Rapelor.
I've said for years Arkansas would be a better fit and a great add.
I would take Nebby back just for the old Big 8 rivalries.
Arizona and Arizona State would be Huge adds and with the sad shape of the PAC gets more possible.
If I want to dream LSU, that one will never happen.
Next tier would be Cincy, it was always lower on my list but would be better than Rapelor.
Houston Is ok but I really want to move outside Texas for future adds.
The Florida Regionals would be ok, just way too far.
I've always liked Colorado State, but not sure they're up to par
BYU too many issues and distance
Boise State, not quite up to par overall, and would have to require them to get rid of that blue field.

I want to keep WVU in it for the purely selfish reason that I live in northern Virginia and Morgantown is only a three hour drive so I can still see ISU play every other year.

It seems quite a few of their fans think they could get into the ACC. I'm all for it, maybe we could swap Pittsburgh for them, and then West Virginia would have a local rival. I'm sure the ACC would go for that... not.

We should swap them to the B1G for either Purdue or Northwestern. Baylor would be a good fit there because of their off the field antics and we would be trading for a school that isn't nearly as rapey.

Seriously, I don't see a pattern of sexual assaults there, or murder. These guys were reprimanded, the coaching staff, the faculty, and the president didn't try to hide any of this. There's transparency here, maybe you guys should look into that.

I feel like conference stability has increased since realignment. Financially speaking, I feel like it's in the interest of all current members to remain together.

I think the current setup is sustainable.

FWIW: Having only 10 schools could be an advantage when the current GoR expires and the Big12 is haggling with digital streaming platforms (ie Hulu, PlayStation Vue, YouTube.TV, Sling, Amazon, Netflix....whomever else pops up into this space) as fewer schools makes for more agile negotations. Also, the Big12 is in pretty good shape in revenue/school, at $36.5M/school, third behind the SEC and the Big10 (barely) and comfortably ahead of the Pac12 and ACC

So you were cool with all those girls getting raped because the criminals who did it helped you win football games?

You were cool with a coach who ignored, and in some cases covered up crimes committed by his players because you were winning?

Neat guy you are

But they were never arrested so nothing happened! It's all a conspiracy to bring down the historic Baylor football program.

Your first problem is you seam to not realize the entire problem that is the scandal of continued cover ups by your university and your administration. There is a reason you have less arrests when you continue to excuse bad behavior and hide criminal activity. Our athletes our held accountable and reprimanded/disciplined or removed from the program for their actions not to mention legally held responsible.

Your second problem is you are comparing minor crimes like tagging a skate park and minor possession with rape and sexual assault.

Heads in the sky

Lol, no we have plenty of room to talk. The difference is that our athletes are held accountable and we do not have a toxic rape culture and lack of institutional control that was overlooked all in the name of wins. Get the **** out of here.
