If they get all 4 that still doesn't get them to Power 5 does it?

.......the sinking exiting battleship.

That will make the conference much more balanced, IMO. But is this just a dream?

Not a dream. The Big 12 is reaching out to theses teams and as usual, no geographical rhyme or reason.

BYU, Houston, Cincinnati and UCF.

All “Thursday night home game” caliber programs.

Like Ohio State too ?

Ohio State plays their home games in Minneapolis? Who woulda thunk it. Granted, you can probably find an instance where an elite team hosted a Thursday night game (I can’t ), but that sort of thing is generally considered “Second Tier” in college football fandom.

And no, Thanksgiving does not count.

Can we just stay? Stinking it up today vs Tulane. SEC teams must be salivating.

 

[CTOkie]

And now Boise State and Memphis are being considered as the 13th and 14th teams to join.

Amazing how it only takes two teams leaving for the XII to get serious enough to consider doing something we’ve all discussed for years (and begged for)

 

[OUnabomber]

Its a done deal.

 

[kcstorm06_rivals]

Big 12 is done for respect...little man syndrome and butt hurt to follow.

 

[iasooner2000]

So (anyone) if this is done, what happens if OU decides to honor it’s unlikely ‘decision’ to remain in the XII through the duration of the current “contract” ?
