Big 12 Expansion

[JSU Alum]

I can see why the Big 12 chose UCF, it's the largest university in the country and Orlando is a top tourist destination.

By no means does it make up for OU and Texas.....I just meant they are currently a 4 cylinder (without OU and Texas)....and that they can only go up by adding BYU and Cincy....

assume you are just talking football. Even so they are still better than the Pac 10; but in hoops they are gonna be a monster.

Losing OU and Texas lost more power than what they are trying to get.

True but Houston, CInn, BYU & UCF are going to be heck in basketball. Kansas owning the BIg 12 title might be over once BYU settles in.

They didnt add JSU?

If Prime stays at JSU for 8 years, (which I doubt once his record starts looking pretty), then the Sun Belt would definitely be giving y’all an invite.

Wth is West Virginia doing over there? That's a lllloooooonnng ride from the east coast

UCF, West Virginia and Cincinnati have no business in the Big 12, but money talks. Houston has had their feelings hurt by the Big 12 too many times to the point they should be giving them the.

Oh well, it’s happening. Iowa State is about to become the most overrated football program of all time.

West Virginia is a landlocked state near the East Coast, though West Virginia does not touch the coastline.

West Virginia U is about the same drive time from Cincinnati as Houston is from Baton Rouge (4.5 hours).

WVU tried to lobby for Cincinnati’s inclusion to the Big 12.

Plus, it’s like 90 from Pittsburgh …

gotta get the complete athletics budget into the mid-to-high $20 million range for that.
