Big 12 dissolving. http://fansided.com/2015/06/30/big-12-texas-pac-12-oklahoma-sec/

B12 may not survive as it is now.

Oklahoma and Texas may leave... maybe osu and Texas Tech too. What's left, baylor, tcu, etc, will merge with some members of the AAC.

At least if this happened the ucf trolls would stfu about being P5 bound. Acc ain't letting them in and nor is the sec

I guess that would leave a mega league of also rans to make another trophy as fewer and fewer teams battle for the bazillions of dollars coming to them.

Big 12 expansion is not just a possibility, but an inevitability

 

 

Boren revealed last week that the previously given deterrent to expansion is really not a deterrent at all. The Big 12's TV contract calls for pro-rata increases with expansion. In other words, the conference’s members won't be losing TV money, as they've stated before, with expansion.

 

 

I finally read this wall of text and noticed this, which I have always read was not the case before.  Did anyone else notice this?

More P5 leftover chumps we have in the Tard league the better our chances for getting respect. Playing the Tulsa and Temple's of the world won't help our cause.

What about WVU? Which conference do they go to and who goes with them? I would think they are running some scenarios right about now...

This sets off a new wave of expansion because OSU is bound by law to go where OU goes and my guess is Texas wouldn't move to the Pac Alone.  The ACC and B1G would probably pick some of the scraps as well.  I also wouldn't be surprised to see the SEC or B1G poach a team from the ACC.  Either way the best case scenario for USF would be after the ACC, SEC, Pac and big do their thing USF will more than likely end up somewhere with the Big 12 left overs. It's just a matter of if that league would fly under the Big 12 or AAC banner.  WVU could end up just about anywhere but the PAC or B1G if this scenario plays out.

The only way USF goes into the acc is if FSU or Miami leave for the sec or big 10.

Which is laughable and will never happen.  UF will never allow FSU into the SEC.  The entirety of the SEC would never allow Miami.  

 

FSU does not have the academic profile of the Big 10 and no one is going to take Miami.

 

The only chance we had with the ACC was for FSU to go to the Big 12 and Miami to get over themselves.  It's not happening
