I'll say it again just for [you], so we can all agree. We need UCF & USF for our conference. This would put us in the second largest recruiting state in the NCAA. We would have teams in SEC, ACC, AAC, BIG 10 and of course Big XII Texas. At that point in time we could publicize that we are truly the BIG XII. This will not only improve recruiting, but help with our network contract in a few years. Also would mostly guarantee our future, with a twelve team conference that may end up with the largest TV following in the country.
if anyone is worried about the Florida teams, I do believe they are both serious about their football programs. Look at the investment they both have made in their programs. They both have quality coaches, and have had very good coaches. They are doing this with a network contract that is about a tenth of what the Big XII deliverers.
USF, yes
UCF- NOT SO FAST MY FRIEND
But I have been and always will be a proponent for the following (in case y'all forgot):
-Pitt-Cinncy (was an option, probs not anymore. AAC is too strong, especially w/basketball [will be a new power conference])
-Memphis (See Cinncy)
-Houston (See Memphis)
Pitt is my ride or die fo sho. They would envy to revive that WVU rivalry and the Big 12 would essentially own that market. But if we get Pitt, Cinncy is a must too. Eff any teams west of the central time zone and eff any of yous if you think the B12 should add any western teams.
