[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 131759383, member: 1428007"] I don't see your option one as a possibility. They already have a school in Utah, and their product is big in Nevada so they wouldn't gain much. Getting into the central and eastern time zone may be important to them as they've been upset about times when their games have been played and are on--they want some 3:30 and 7:30 games. Obviously they'd want to get into Texas because of the recruiting power there. ISU and KU they'd probably be fine with their academics. Oklahoma State brings a well financed athletic dept and a consistently good football program. Don't know if they'll try to add all 8 which would probably not bode well for WVU if they expand, but I'd say that would be option 2 before adding BYU or UNLV. Geographically they can go with Kansas schools, OK State and stay in contiguous states. After that then obviously Texas schools would also be in their footprint if they chose that direction.
