What's this?

If they're going to remain a conference, BYU, UCF, Houston, & Cincy should

invited right away. None replaces what they'll lose, but these are the best available by a lot IMO.

BYU is possibly at the top of the Big-12's list of expansion targets -- VTBoar 08/27/2021 1:38PM

Until Texas and Oklahoma are actually gone -- obguthr 08/28/2021 10:56AM

ECU? Lol. They bring zero. SMU would be a far better choice than ECU…. -- CrystalCoveHokie 08/28/2021 11:07AM

Temple would be a better fit than ECU -- I85Hokie 08/28/2021 1:45PM

Out of all the AAC schools, Temple would be the worst school to add. -- tarheelblue 08/28/2021 5:07PM

SMU is a small private school in Texas. Big 12 already has enough of those -- tarheelblue 08/28/2021 12:45PM

According to Google…..SMU’s athletic revenue is more than double ECU’s…� -- CrystalCoveHokie 08/28/2021 3:15PM

That doesn't mean they would bring more value to the Big 12 media contract ** -- tarheelblue 08/28/2021 3:17PM

SMU is highly ranked academically, has about a $1.7 billion endowment….. -- CrystalCoveHokie 08/28/2021 4:40PM

You can't just add massive travel though, especially for non-rev sports -- HokieAl 08/27/2021 6:11PM

I agree, Non-Revenues traveling the country is a major hurdle. ** -- Stech 08/28/2021 09:05AM

Agree, but many say the B12 won't take any action, until Texas and Oklahoma -- FLKEYSHOKIE 08/27/2021 5:56PM

BYU doesn't play on Sundays so that's a scheduling nightmare ** -- Flanker 08/27/2021 5:17PM

The only sports the Big-12 plays on Sundays are -- M-I-C 08/28/2021 12:33AM

2021 National Champion in softball - Oklahoma University. ** -- manassashoo 08/28/2021 10:27AM

For football/basketball being spread across the country is manageable, but -- Stech 08/28/2021 09:01AM

College football games aren't usually played on Sundays. ** -- tarheelblue 08/27/2021 5:45PM

There are other sports you know... LOL -- Flanker 08/27/2021 6:32PM

Is that true for all sports? I really don’t know. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 08/27/2021 5:56PM

Some NCAA sports are scheduled for Sundays -- Flanker 08/27/2021 6:36PM

If they add BYU for football only, then it doesn't matter. ** -- tarheelblue 08/27/2021 6:29PM

Keep their Olympic sports in WCC ** -- Millpoint 08/27/2021 8:31PM

Considering timezones and geography and media markets, I think these -- HokieAl 08/27/2021 4:56PM

Interesting article on "next steps" to Big12 perhaps adding BYU, including -- VTBoar 08/27/2021 4:37PM

UCF and Cincinnati as a first step seems the most likely to me -- Truthahn 08/30/2021 4:36PM

My 4 adds (which will never ever happen) -- OU_Sooner 08/27/2021 2:49PM

Protection against further raiding -- obguthr 08/28/2021 09:08AM

But are the service academies going to be able to -- tarheelblue 08/27/2021 2:52PM

They'll always be at a competitive disadvantage, true -- OU_Sooner 08/27/2021 3:53PM

I'd rather see service academies focus on producing military officers -- Flanker 08/27/2021 3:19PM

The Academies will never lower their admission standards -- OU_Sooner 08/27/2021 3:43PM

Even though that is the mission statement for the 3 academies currently -- VTHokie2000 08/27/2021 4:36PM

What division should the Space Force Academy compete in? ** -- tarheelblue 08/27/2021 4:58PM

NAIA DII for the time being or go the non-affiliation route like -- VTHokie2000 08/27/2021 5:01PM

Then maybe the service academies should do what the Ivy League schools did -- tarheelblue 08/27/2021 3:37PM

Be a big mistake if the do not add BYU. They are the best available. ** -- goldendomer 08/27/2021 1:41PM

They could add BYU for football only. -- tarheelblue 08/27/2021 1:47PM

And perhaps offset the non-football sports with someone like Wichita State ** -- OU_Sooner 08/27/2021 2:44PM

True, and it would be a win-win. BYU is a strong program with a loyal -- goldendomer 08/27/2021 1:53PM
