Looking at that list of schools, if the Big XII does intend to expand further, I think you have to look at adding from the Pac XII, if that's a viable option. Adding additional G5 programs, specifically those I've seen mentioned in another thread, Memphis, ECU, and USF, I feel the Big XII lineup will look more like C-USA from the late 90s/early 2000s. Hopefully a bomb falls on the college football landscape, and out of the ruins, emerges a new Eastern football conference. Of course, that makes too much sense to actually happen. College football was ruined once big money started getting tossed around, followed closely by the woke culture that has their hands in way too many pockets of school administrators.
PS - Glad to see CFE post. Was afraid he may have no longer been North of the ground.
