[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129851324, member: 1428007"] David Ubben chimes in on the matter about possible steps forward as he sees things: [URL='http://gridironnow.com/big-12-expansion-talk-two-possible-scenarios/'][SIZE=6][B]With Big 12 expansion talk refusing to go away, here’s a look at two possible scenarios [/B] [B][/B][/SIZE][/URL] [SIZE=4]excerpt:[/SIZE] [SIZE=6][SIZE=4]The Big 12 would expand if it had a suitable candidate. For now, it doesn’t, but nobody is more equipped to ignite an expansion discussion than Texas’ athletic director. For now, that’s Mike Perrin, who told the Austin American-Statesman he “wouldn’t be surprised to see something happen” in Big 12 expansion before his tenure is up in August 2018..... Two scenarios stand out. The first is a waiting game for the Big 12.... .If the Big 12 continues to prove it will be closer to the Big Ten and SEC in revenue, it gains a foothold in convincing Pac-12 members to make a cash grab. That’s what realignment decisions are. Arizona and Arizona State have only been Pac-12 members since 1978. The Big 12 has enjoyed a relatively calm period of stability since Texas A&M and Missouri left, and no longer faces annual questions in the offseason about conference implosion, even if Texas and Oklahoma remaining in the league isn’t a given. Still, bringing in two Power 5 programs would further cement the league’s future. If there’s a “wow” move to be made for the Big 12 in expansion, that’s the one.... Is it that unrealistic to wonder if another school with a new-ish face on the sidelines– hey there, Cincinnati, Memphis, UCF or USF– got on a run, it could be viewed very differently if the league revisited the expansion conversation? The league’s recruiting and NFL talent production is down as the Texas talent pool gets more crowded. Adding a new territory — like Florida — would be welcomed for coaches and could only help the financial bottom line. [/SIZE] [B][/B][/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
