[QUOTE="Woody in Helvetia, post: 129304421, member: 1430938"] If the Big 12 wants to exist in 10 year I think it has to expand. To Oklahoma adding two teams dies not devalue the conference. Everyother member is just another W in their book. Before the next set of television contract the Big 12 has to expand their footprint - increase the number of states that the conference covers. Memphis and Cincy may not make huge dents in the markets that they are in but they would increase their shares with teams Like Texas and Oklahoma coming to town. If you want WVU to be a member of the ACC then just watch it happen if the B12 stays at 10 - then OU and OSU go to the SEC. Texas, TT, KSU and TCU to the P12. Kansas and ISU to the B1G. WV & ND to the ACC. And Baylor on the outside. This makes some very nice divisions for these 16 teams conferences. ACC would split at the VA/NC line - 8 in the north of that line and 8 south of it. The P16 would have the old P8 on one side, and everyone else on the other. E/W would still work in the B1G with Purdue coming to the east. And in the SEC Alabama and Auburn would come east while Mo and the two Okie schools would be in the west. [/QUOTE]
