houston > tcu. bigger fan base.

I'd rather have TCU.  Seems like they'd be more fun to play.

Is that selfish?

you can be all the selfish you'd like Dlew, you deserve it.

Adding Phi Slamma Jamma to the BIG XII would be amazing though

houston > tcu. bigger fan base.

And if we extrapolate your logic:

University of Phoenix > DeVry > Houston > tcu

[ednksu]

Fitz said on his radio show 1350 that they were invited and than backed off it.

Didn't want to post that fatass's musings.  Good ole Always right Fitz.






Also TCU/Houston is irrelevant.  Just sack up and tell Texas to eff off.  We are adding a Texas school if we fee like it.  eff UT.

U of Phoenix does have a sweet ass stadium.

Pretty awesome. Arizona Cardinals even play there.

And possibly Cinci?  Hm....

[mcmwcat]

louisville: will take.

cinci: no thanks.

[kim carnes]

we really need to raid the big east. 

if Texas doesn't want TCU or others than can go eff themselves and be independent.

I.  Want.  Louisville.

I don't see why we don't go after the battered wives club conference.  All the middle of the road teams who have been getting crap on the last 2 years should combine to form the first super conference.  It would be an AQ conf.  It would have decent to good TV money.  Now it may not get the highest echelon, but it would be a steady stable build.  Hell if UT had its way we would be relegated to a lower portion of TV money anyway.  Build a new conference on equal money and it would probably be more than what UT would toss us as scraps.

Seriously guy, you need to get a rough ridin' clue.

[Panjandrum]

louisville: will take.

cinci: no thanks.

Makes me think BYU is likely not interested.

North adds: Louisville, Cincy
South adds: TCU

[mcmwcat]

adding Cinci could open recruiting doors in Ohio.  for KSU 

but still don't like.  just go to 10 for now and see what the new conf charter/contract is going to be.  if it's strong enough then going 10+ may not be necessary.

[theKSU]

I follow some BYU guys on twitter, they seem to be dying to get into the Big 12.  Of course all decisions at that school are made in the basement of a temple wearing magic underwear, so not sure how much fans can influence them.

Hey Pan, since you enjoy this conference stuff so much, I'd like to hear your thoughts on having the divisions rotate instead of a fixed north and south. Seems like it could keep the balance of power more fluid and less geographically dependent. Also it could keep travel distances shared more evenly than if you were to add Big East teams to the North.

[ew2x4]

4 pods of 3.

[scottwildcat]

BYU Cincy and L'Ville, L'Ville to the South= EMAW v Tigers for North Championship every year 

[jtksu]

BYU would challenge for the north pretty often.  Those dudes have some fairly high ranked teams about every 3 years or so.

[Rage Against the McKee]

houston > tcu. bigger fan base.

Yes. If TCU can't fill their stadium when they have a top 5 team, they never will. Houston is more likely to be the better program when TCU inevitably loses Patterson.

[EMAWzified]

An inevitable outcome that will happen all the sooner if TCU remains in Big East limbo.

yes.  maintain the blockade against TCU.
