Your mom loves a package deal.

I hope expansion is delayed 1 year.  We should be coming off a 10 win season.

I think it's 50/50 that they actually expand.  A lot of pieces to sort out first like the Longhorn Network, possible no votes by Texas, TCU, and Texas Tech, and other things, but I truly believe that if the Big 12 expands then they will go to 14 schools.

Cincinnati is a shoe in at that point.  School #11

Big 12 will not go west for BYU.  They will stay with a central and eastern footprint.

Texas, TCU, and TT will not vote for Houston.

Tulane will never be under consideration.

So you basically have 4 schools for spots 12, 13, and 14.  Those schools are USF, UCF, Memphis, and UConn.

I think a lot of schools will go to bat for UConn.  They are a deserving power program off their basketball program alone.  Then you have USF and UCF for 13 and 14.

The 4 schools added will be Cincinnati, UConn (or possibly Memphis), USF and UCF.  Some combo of that.  Mark it down right now.  I guarantee it.

No, won't happen.  USF has too many friends and allies to get left behind in that scenario.

Pay no attention to know nothing media types.

By the way, I predict USF and UCF will work together on a joint package.  UCF prez said he wants USF in B12 along with UCF, and I'm sure Judy feels the same way, seeing she wanted UCF added to BE/AAC a few years ago.

There will be no announcement this year involving USF or UCF going to the Big 12 together.

 

mark my words. no package deal.

OK we'll see who's correct, me or you.

Conference re-alignment is NOT based solely on one season of one sport.

Does UCF have a better chance to get into the Big 12?

If you were expanding the B12, would your goal not be to put it in a position to compete with the SEC and ACC?   I think a wise leader would be looking to convince the schools this expansion has to be long term focused and about creating some parity for the B12 with other leagues.   If you ignore Florida as a state to get a foothold in the market, would that not be shortsighted?  

Which schools are growing the most and have the most upside?  I would say it is USF and UCF.

USF did not do to bad in the Big East but again, this could be more about money than anything.
