[QUOTE="michaelwalkerbr, post: 129489955, member: 1601483"] I certainly respect your opinion and see the point of your argument, but there is indeed strength in numbers. From all I can determine, both Cincinnati and Memphis are ready or committed to be facilities wise and have usually been playing like power 5 teams stranded in a lower conference. Could they come in and compete immediately for the conference title? No, but who wants that? They would likely be middle of the conference teams that add to everyone's SOS. Twelve teams allow for two divisions and decrease the likelihood of a rematch in the CCG. Would any of these teams bring in enough viewers to support their inclusion? Only ESPN and FoxSports truly know the answer to that question. If so, I'm for it. If not, it is not going to happen. But all of these teams will likely end up in a power 5 conference before long. If they meet the criteria, why not at least two in the Big 12? [/QUOTE]
