[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129474653, member: 1428007"] Disagree. The AAC and MWC don't want to have teams poached by the BIG 12 so they would be likely to go for allowing this to pass as is. If they don't vote for it the likelihood of BIG 12 expansion increases in the near term. CUSA probably doesn't want to get poached by the MWC or the AAC. Also there's been talk that UTEP and Rice are being sought by the MWC which could bring CUSA numbers down--so they might also like the ability to stage a CCG with fewer members if so. The Sun Belt is almost certainly a yes vote because many believe they'll ask New Mexico State and Idaho to go elsewhere and end up at 10 teams --they'll want the right to determine their champion as they see fit probably. The MAC is the only G5 conference that might not want the change because they seem pretty tight nit and no one is trying to poach them--doesn't really affect them one way or the other and they love the Big Ten. Can see them voting with the Big Ten. [/QUOTE]
