Somewhat excited about a BYU bb team, but let's face it, Jimmer is gone.In football, distance is kind of meaningless. Teams fly all over the place all of the time, so no big deal.In every other sport, it makes a difference with the amount of times per year you have to travel. So that makes BYU very unattractive.However, if you can find a way to make them fit in football while finding a very deserving partner with geographical sanity to fill in all of the rest, who has a national following of their own, it's just gravy.Then, if you can strike up an agreement for Notre Dame to play X number of Big 12 schools per year, it's just awesome. That's more Tier 1 money right there for all of us to split and enjoy.i don't understand the crap that's coming out of your mouth. the non-revs are going to be flying to/from whomever joins the big12, just not on charter.notre dame is closer to west virginia than byu is his point. west virginia is 2 time zones from byu. notre dame makes more geographical sense for all sports but wouldnt add a football program. for football flying a long ways on the weekend isnt as a big of a deal as say a volleyball team in the middle of the weak flying half way across the country twice on the same day/night.

Tulane is pretty much TCU before Patterson. Having games in LA would have been nice.

Having games in LA would have been nice.I really don't want to argue with you, but its very obvious you've never been to either campus. Also Patterson jumped on TCU's train well after it was moving. Just like Chris Peterson at Boise.

I think Louisville is obvious, but the other choice isn't obvious. So, let me think outside of the box.Missouri State is Kansas State if it had dropped to the Missouri Valley. Now, I know some of you will immediately scoff, but what I want your opinion on this is: If Missouri goes to the SEC and gets it butts kicked in football as we expect, and Missouri State joins the Big 12 and quickly ramps up football (it needs to add at least 30,000 seats to its stadium) to even Colorado-like levels, where will those two athletic departments, and maybe universities, stand in 10 years?I'm not even thinking about this as a shot at MU, but that doesn't hurt. Plus, thanks to politics, Gov. Jay Nixon may be in a spot to approve funding on a huge football stadium addition in Springfield just to save face.Thoughts?

FITZADMINPost #12550Manhattan, Kan.MyFanPageAdd BuddyIgnore Re: Brent Venables to KSU??? I can see this happening. Venables certainly wouldn't be coach's first choice though. That will absolutely, certainly, dead-lock be Sean Snyder. Then it would Bielema, Leavitt and Dimel. Then maybe Venables.Posted on 10/25 7:52 PM | IP: Logged
Bielema
hear that Louisville & Connecticut could follow West VirginiaNOTE:the BBall only Schools in Big East could really SEE a drop in $ $ $;with NO FB TV contract
WVU’s Big 12 move on holdWVU’s potential move to the Big 12 athletic conference is not a done deal.As of Tuesday afternoon, it appeared WVU was putting the final touches on a switch from the Big East conference to the Big 12, but that plan was slowed late at night.
Apparently, a late push has been made by UL. The press conference scheduled for today has been cancelled. An official for WVU says this is all UL's doing. It also appears that WVU jumped the gun just a bit yesterday in announcing this as done, and ruffled some feathers in Dallas.
