Big 12 expanding quickly...

or so says Oklahoma president Boren. He says they will act within ten days with 3 or 4 strong candidates, which appear to be BYU, TCU, Lville and WVU. If so, the Big East will be dead before Halloween.

Some extra exposure for the Cuse this weekend.

Obviously they won't actually take Tulane, but that they're even being mentioned shows how in disarray they really are.

That's a pretty good football conference

The SEC looks lost while searching for team #14. Now what in the world would persuade them to add teams #15 and #16? I honestly think they are done at 14 teams.

TCU is better than Nebraska, WV and Missouri are really close and BYU is better than Colorado, A&M is way better than Louisville but Louisville is way better at hoops.

TV wise it adds Kentucky, Utah, WV and loses Missouri, Nebraska and Colorado. I think they lose quite a bit tv wise. TCU/A&M are possibly a wash but I'd give the edge to A&M. I think the best adds would be Louisville, WV, Cincy and USF. Now you have Florida and Ohio which are huge markets. I'm sure Texas politics will have something to say about the TCU thing though.

Sources tell @CBSSports if Missouri stays, Big 12 likely will stay at 10 teams w/TCU on board bit.ly/TCUBig12

So TCU will have to pay the $5 Million exit fee, but won't have to wait the 27 months.
