The question everyone needs to ask is what actions can the Big 12 take to make Texas not want to leave. Because if today keeps happening. They're gone. And probably before the 12 years is up.

you are fooling yourself if you think texas cares at all about this other than sticking up for the family.  tcu or baylor being in the playoff severely hurts them and texas will be in anytime they are available. good lord

Why would we want divisions.  We could have the two best teams play each other for the CCG.  This year Baylor and TCU could prove who's the best.  That way we keep our round robin in FB and "one true champion".

We should just tell the NCAA to go fcvk itself. Stay at ten teams, play the round robin, and then if it looks like teams might need a boost at the end of the year, schedule a CCG for the top two teams. If it looks like we'll have someone go undefeated, no need for a CCG that year. It'll be kinda like how there sometimes a need for Game 7 and sometimes not.

You're fooling yourself if you think Texas is going to be associated with what is perceived to be the worst power 5 conference by the media. If this conference gets left out of the playoff consistently they are gone. And it will happen fast. They aren't going to hang around with a bunch of schools that do not elevate their brand.

Yes.  No divisions.  10 teams is perfect.  Just have the two best play an additional game.

The two highest rated teams face off, with the winner getting a big boost in their playoff hopes.

I've said it a few times in the past year; if we do, it will be Cincy and Memphis.

We aren't going to put up with BYU's crap.  You aren't negotiating with a school; you're working with the Church of Latter Day Saints.  That's going to go over like a fart in a church (pun intended) as time goes by.

UCF will be on an island because Cincy is the first play.  They're the travel partner WVU has been begging for.  Everyone else is just a round number.

At least with Memphis, they're geographically relevant, and the basketball in this conference will elevate tremendously.

If the Big XII has any balls, it will take UCF & USF.

Adding two shitty teams won't help get any of the big 12 schools into the CFB.  OU and UT would have gone at 11-1 this year.  If you are a non traditional power you have to go undefeated regardless of conference affiliation.

Trade WV for Louisville. Pick up Memphis and Cincy as well?

True, but the recruiting would improve with the Florida schools.

Having the 4th and 5th best schools in Fl in the conf won't help us get better KS walk-ons.

Not that any of this is happening, but Memphis and Pastner aren't elevating crap.  This isn't Cal's Memphis.  They're getting shittier by the day.  It'd be like adding another WV in hoops.  A program clearly on the downturn.

They've been good before.  They have a good arena, name recognition, etc.  One hire away from being a very strong program again.

I wouldn't worry about it. LOL at the thought of conference schools giving their money to mid-majors because the two mid-majors we have got screwed.

Outside of the puppet school idea (I'm thinking maybe New Mexico State and Louisina Lafayette here), SEC teams are the only non poopy options given the grants of rights of the other conferences. Mizzou and A&M aren't coming back. So, if we don't add like Arkansas and LSU, any additions are going to SUUUUUUUUCK. It would be like Big Ten Maryland and Rutgers suck except much, much worse.
