with all these "applications" I can't help but picture deaton and the bowtie from aTm sitting in a waiting room filling out an application with a pen. They would have to fill out things like emergency contacts and the like.
Staying at ten seems temporary, especially if a network is on the table. They'll need 12 for the inventory.My guess is that the WVU move is the first move. Once that happens, the Big East completely destabilizes, ND jumps ship, and the BYU football/ND combo pack becomes a possibility.WVU is technically #11 now. We're reserving #12 for Brigham Dame. Louisville will be #12.

FITZADMINPost #12545Manhattan, Kan.MyFanPageAdd BuddyIgnore Seeking your thoughts Reply --------------------------------------------------------------------------------West Virginia will be 10 and I think the conference will stay at 10 for now, but who do you add to get to 12? 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?

KU is right on par with Notre Dame ... when it comes to adding additional conference revenue
Beer pro tip: never drink anything other than BL, coors, pbr, maybe a few others that I'm forgetting

Missouri State is a legitimate option.Televisions in MO wouldn't be lost to the SEC either.Another option would be to bring Wichita State in, and require they rebuild their football program.
Thanks for your input. I've been told BYU is dead. I'll believe the Notre Dame to Big 12 stuff when it happens (and that may bring BYU back as the football school to replace Notre Dame), and I am not crazy about any other regional option, although the best is Cincinnati. Even then, Cincy needs to renovate football to get it up to standards. Some of you say Memphis, but athletics (particularly football) is so awful that the Big East doesn't want them and Tulane was floated and dismissed. Plus, I don't see the league adding another Texas school.I think what is going on is WVU is a quick add to 10 and on paper they look like an improvement over Missouri so it's a PR win for the conference. Teams 11 and 12 will wait until Notre Dame can be sorted out. If ND wants to park its non-FB sports in the conference, then a FB only partner might be needed or do they stay at 10 in FB and add another non-FB school such as Marquette to be 12 in other sports?I think there are so many questions about 11 and 12, they will wait but snapping up West Virginia and shoving that down MU's throats seems like the immediate move. With WVU in, I would be tempted to make another run at Pitt to bring in with Louisville.

bringing pitt would be awesome. pitt/wvu is a great rivalry.
