Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 3913270, member: 628"] Do they, though? I mean, if there isn't meaningful value for a conference in adding those schools, then why would they? Kansas is a weird case, because their hoops team does have a strong brand. But the Kansas market is not big -- the Kansas City TV market is smaller than the Hartford/New Haven market, and we see how unattractive UConn has been recently. A lot of the rest of the Big 12 is dreck. Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, TCU, Texas Tech... that is a whole lot of meh. Mayyyybe WVU get a look somewhere because of their history playing eastern teams, and Baylor is probably attractive given their recent success and record of not caring at all about who is harmed to achieve it, and maybe Kansas's hoops program gets them in somewhere. But honestly, a possible outcome is that most of the Big 12 has to find a home in an American-like conference and scrap as a Group of Five entity going forward. [/QUOTE]
