Big 12 to Expand
-
The Big 12 has announced that it is going to expand to as many as 14 teams.....as soon as next year. From prior threads you know that I feel this was necessary for them to do.
Then, the question is....who joins?
It is a 10 team now:
Kansas
Kansas State
Oklahoma
OK State
TCU
Texas Tech
Baylor
Texas
West Va
Iowa State.
The 4 candidates are likely to come from either the Conf. USA, the American Conf. or the Mountain West
Any of these could be involved:
Houston
SMU
Memphis
Tulsa
Cincinnati
Rice
Southern Miss
UTEP
La. Tech
Colorado St.
Boise St.
New Mexico
San Diego St.
UNLV or Nevada
BYU
My personal preference would be for them to stick to a geographic frame of reference....which of course they won't do if they think they can make more money elsewhere. West Va. to me is not a fit for them.
Houston seems the most natural. To expand into neigboring states then Colorado St. would be a choice, and maybe New Mexico. Memphis would be on the fringe but could work OK.
