An interesting proposal on Big XII expansion:

24 teams, and A and B division

I'm for a 24 team conference. Merge the B12 and Pac.

I wonder what caused the Arizona schools to change their minds all of the sudden.

I can only assume stability.  Obviously the money is more.

Merge with the SEC, boom 24 team conference.  West Virginia goes to the east (SEC) division, the west (Big 12) division is the remaining 9 big 12 schools plus Mizzou, aTm, and Arkansas.  Lots of old rivalries renewed on the west side.  This league would get several bids in the CFP every year.  Profit.

I would hate it, but at least KSU would remain in a power conference that would most likely survive. Of course the good thing is that it would mostly reunite the old Big 12 which would be neat. Naturally, it's good bye to whatever chance we had at confy champs, but long shot chance of getting into the playoffs at some point.

The price of admission.  Don't worry, SEC wouldn't do it.

It really wouldn't be much harder to be conference champs than it is now.

I hope the other 19 address each of the points this video puts forth for our consideration.

Just to really muss everything up and make it the true crap show it is. . .they should crowdsource the decision. Every school makes a video, and like the all star game in MLB, it is up to the people. Make the votes weighted so that each media market only gets so much say. Have all the coaches and presidents on stage for a giant reveal. Top two vote getters are in for sure. Next four have some sort of on site competition to see who the last two in will be.

I dunno man. Having the best record over 9 games seems easier than winning a division of a division, then winning a division championship game against a really good opponent, then facing the best opponent from the other side. At least that's how I assume it would go.

In any scenario, it's naturally harder because you're fighting for the top spot against 23 other teams instead of 9.

The 24 team conference would be harder to win if you have the best team in the conference. The 10 team conference would be harder to win if you aren't.

This is how you end up with the University of Boaty McBoat Face in the Big 12.

My buddy's brother married a girl that went to USF to get her marine biology degree, she absolutely loved the school.  Stadium in video looks kind of small-timey though.
