I’ve alwsys found it weird when fans brag about money. I honestly didn’t know people actually did that until I discovered the internet.

I like the additions of Houston and Cincinnati. I would rather have Wichita State and either Tulsa or Memphis over UCF and BYU. That would be a pretty good basketball conference.

Let's look at your list: ND: ![]() Colorado isn't returning Utah isn't leaving the stable PAC 12 to join the same conference as BYU. Memphis will be available whenever the BIG 12 wishes to pluck it. Coastal Carolina had ONE GOOD SEASON. You don't make expansion decisions off a single season and a COVID season at that. USF: Why? The school is struggling and UCF brings the Florida market well enough. The War on I-4 is a great rivalry but it has little national cache. Boise State is a regional academic school and their football luster is wearing off. Like Memphis, the BIG 12 can pluck them whenever they please. |

Tulsa has zero pull due to proximity of OSU. UCF and BYU both bring many more eyes for TV than Memphis. Do you not understand TV economics? |

Wichita State has value to conferences like the A-10 and Big East. But not to a P5 conference. P5 conferences don't do associate members for football or basketball. Tulsa is a great story. Small little private school that has historically punched above its weight class but they don't bring anything to the BIG 12. Memphis would be a fine addition to the BIG 12. They just happened to be the fifth best option where there were only four slots. |

I assume the 2 divisions will be the Texas schools and BYU in the west and the rest in the east.

Not sure why Villanova doesn't want to try to get into FBS football, but maybe down the road for them. I think BYU is a HUUUGE get. But not too jazzed on the other three. But honestly they are the best possible 4 we could probably hope for that aren't already in P5 conferences. I don't know that I'd look to expand as it may water down the conference even further, but here is where I would look, in order: U-Conn Boise State Memphis Colorado State South Florida UAB Temple Wyoming Obviously not much there. I think the Big 12 did pretty well |

Wall Street Journal College Football Value Rankings:https://graphics.wsj.com/table/NCAA_2019 1. Texas 2. Ohio State 3. Alabama 4. Michigan 5. Notre Dame -------------- 29. Kansas State 30. Oklahoma State 39. Kansas 43. Iowa State 56. Missouri 60. BYU 65. Central Florida KU football program alone is valued higher than Missouri even DESPITE not being in the SEC. KU Football is a sleeping giant, meaning if they can figure out how to ever even be perennially .500 they are going to churn $$$ Now the loss of Texas and OU hurt - no doubt - but the loss of Missouri is not even a big deal. Big 12 just invited two teams of similar value to Missouri to the conference. |
