But for the grace of John Swofford...but I will enjoy reading the UConn board if this happens.
I can't imagine it would be UConn when you have the likes of BYU, Houston, Memphis, UCF, Cinci and a couple others so much closer and with more in common. Memphis has to be one of them just based on the fact that the Under Armour founder has said he would sponsor the Big12 championship, no matter the cost.
Not a big deal but I believe you mean the Fed Ex founder when you refer to Memphis. Under Armour guy is a Terp.
I have to imagine the Boneyard right now is going crazy, rationalizing why they are a better choice than BYU, Cinci, Memphis, et al. If it's 4, they have a chance. A small chance, but a chance nonetheless. If it's 2, I'd be shocked if they made the cut.
Makes sense - worked for MD and the girlsSounds like the B12 is soliciting bids of corporate graft (FedEx) and outright groveling for lower initial payout proposals from others.
Day2 said:According to Bill Snyder, two former B12 teams want to come back. Would have to be Colorado and Nebraska.
So you're saying uconn has a shot at the pac 10?According to Bill Snyder, two former B12 teams want to come back. Would have to be Colorado and Nebraska.
You gotta wonder what the pecking order is. What's your ranking?
1 - Cincy
2 - UCF
3 - BYU
4 - Houston
5 - USF (if no UCF)
6 - Memphis
7 - UConn
8 - Boise
9 - Colorado State
Not just UT. TT, TCU, Baylor and Oklahoma all are focused on Texas. They'll want every advantage possible.I know a lot of folks say Houston won't get in because Texas doesn't want to give up the fertile Houston recruiting area. But, honestly, that argument just isn't a factor anymore. Houston has already started pulling in their fair share of high recruits from this area. And if reports are accurate that the vote was unanimous to open up expansion, then I would think that all teams will be considered. I believe it will be Houston, Memphis, BYU and Cinci.
