<![CDATA[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.
