Conference Expansion - it never ends

Today's news - Big 12 has officially invited TCU to join.
True that. I still have no idea what this means for the MWC, which I have to worry about since it affects my job and so on. Maybe this means BYU won't get invited now, or, it means they assume Missouri is gone and they want to add 4 teams total.nick wrote:makes way more sense than the big east
I'd bet on this. Mizzou to the SEC. TCU, BYU, and a pairing of either Houston, SMU, Louisville, Boise, or Air Force to the Big XII. Twelve teams equals stability and the rest of Big XII is desperately craving that. It also keeps Texas and OU around.Mtwasik wrote:it means they assume Missouri is gone and they want to add 4 teams total.

Add 2 more Texas schools and more schools ends up getting smaller pieces of the same pie. Given all that Texas has done, I have a hard time understanding why they would all of a sudden want to give part of their revenue from their TV contracts to TCU and SMU. Its not like TCU or SMU will add markets not covered by Texas.nick wrote:they should add SMU. look past the death penalty and they were gonna be a marquee school.
Didn't they say this last week or the week before or something too? But now they've added a Texas school. Bottom line is that the Big XII is in survival mode. If they decide to get a little too cutesy and elitest they'll find themselves completely dissolved.Mtwasik wrote:Only thing that's been said today is they don't want any more Texas schools.

Nobody wants West Virginia other than the Big East. They are the academic equivalent of a JUCO. Realignment is all about money and football but when the academics are as bad as WVU's are, you can't ignore it. University presidents have to at least look like they're concerned about academics in this.ChampDizzle wrote:SEC would be wise to add West Virginia instead of Mizzou
Yeah, plus they don't bring anything in terms of media market. WVU is probably the worst off of ANY Big East or Big 12 team. They would be the last team picked up.LetsGoPeay wrote:Nobody wants West Virginia other than the Big East. They are the academic equivalent of a JUCO.
