Plus, I might attend every road game ever to that beautiful place.

I want nothing to do with any changes

Only move that would not result me wanting to BID would be waiting and hope someone else kills off the ACC and then take what we can get from what is left over.

I just drove through the CSU campus this summer and they are nowhere near Big XII level. I guess the football stadium is getting upgraded but it would absolutely be an embarrassment for them to be in our league.

seems like most of you people forgot what happened the last time we expanded, we got stuck with WVU and TCU. Let's not make that mistake again. #DONOTHING

Perennial collegiate disc golf championship contenders, have won several national titles. Valid yardstick IMHO.

A championship-caliber disc golf program is good, but we all know that realignment is driven by those ultimate frisbee dollars

If people have to plead a case for why the Big 12 should take one of these lesser schools then they're not worth taking. Posters like this sound like used car salesmen trying get you to go home in a '87 Buick Skylark.

"Sure it has a cracked windshield and over 200,000 miles, but for $500 you're not going to find a smoother ride. Did I mention the 30 day warranty and somewhat new tires?"

I like this, just think that an AAU school like flood-aggie is going to be difficult to jettison. WVU wants to go somewhere else anyway. Close, so very close to a perfect solution.

I would kick out tcu and baylor before isu

no need for expansion.......

Does everyone realize how close we were to getting 2 teams into the playoff? If FSU would have lost one of the crappy games throughout the year that they should have, they would have been bumped down. No body liked them.

If OSU would have won a close one to Wisky, say 24-14, I think Baylor would have jumped in. If, OSU would have lost, BOOM, both teams in......we are the premier conference and no body is complaining......

I think we should make a run at FSU and Miami. Imagine the recruiting that would open up for us.

FSU should realize that if they were in the BIGXII they would have been number 1 in the polls all year. Should be an easy get.

6 mil? The animal wipes his ass with 6 million dollar bills. We make way more than that as a school each year by not dividing the $ 2 more ways.

FSU was an undefeated number 4 in week 15.

If they lose once next year in the ACC, They are #8. Lose once in the Big XII, they are probably 3 or 4. That said, they would definitely have 2-3 losses this year.
