Shut the eff up about big east schools.  None of them would be worth adding to the conference.

Ya West Virginia and Louisville would be AWFUL to add. 

Please explain to me how adding Louisville would bring any value to the big12.

A football program that attracted 50,500 fans per game last season, a basketball program consistently among the top five nationally in attendance, a brand new 22,000-seat arena that is the finest basketball facility in the country and the most profitable basketball in the nation, plus highly competitive and well attended non-revenue sports. ESPN sure seemed to like U of L football on Thursday nights a few years ago. Doesn't seem that bad. 

The problem is no one outside of Louisville cares about them.

how many people outside of Manhattan care about KSU? Id say about the same amount as Louisville

West Virginia and Louisville get you into new TV markets and bring in more viewers to B12 events. Solid programs, expanded footprint, and adding members that are already BCS schools rather than bull crap Texas schools

The Louisville Kentucky tv market?

JFC.  We are already in the conference.  We don't need to add another KSU to the conference.

Better than adding Houston, SMU, or TCU and adding schools that ad no tvs

[pissclams]

i read this thread, you guys are just eating each other up.  what the heck?!  this whole realignment business has you guys so mad with realignamonia that you're going against each other.

stop it.  stop it now.  bring this back to a civilized discusso amongst emaw elite.

[Testy Westy]

I would rather all the loser big east schools keep hanging out with each other and don't join another conference.  It will make us look better next time this stuff comes up.  Even if we're not a cool kid we'll still look cooler because we hang out with the cool kids.

We don't need to add any teams unless BYU wants to join.  What is so hard to understand?  More teams = less money (a more diluted product)

[Panjandrum]

I think we need to get a bunch of these and find our way to the KBOR meeting.

If more teams = less money than why is every conference wanting to add teams?

So next time this crap happens (and it will happen) and we lose a team to drop to 9 again, you want to go through thinking KSU will be in the MWC again?

[KSUBrian]

Want Lew.

eff Lew and this old guy. Go get Wieberg back!!!

Udumb.   Every AD in the big 12 agrees with me.

If more teams = less money than why is every conference wanting to add teams? 

The perceived notion that more teams = more stability = more secure money in the long term

Not sure I agree with it, but I think that's the reasoning.

Add teams that could add to a recruiting foot print, adding to a conf. is allways good <--- want cinci.

They're adding good teams that bring value to the conference.  Not that hard to understand.

[jtksu]

Literally just read on the ESPN ticker that Dodds wants to add at least one team.  So, I guess not every AD agrees with you "Kim."

Yet Mizzou wants to go to the SEC (more teams than Big 9), A&M did leave the Big 9 for the SEC (more teams) , Texas & OU wanted to leave to the PAC (more teams than Big 9), good reasoning, all wanted less money

Yeah dumbass, he wants to add 1 team to get back to 10 (BYU).  He doesn't want to add a bunch of shitty schools from the big east just for the sake of adding more teams to the conference.  JFC, you are dumb.

[wetwillie]

Man if we just add SMU TCU UH we will be rough ridin' rolling in it.
