FSU wants in....but under their conditions...
FSU wants to be in a League on par with the SEC in both size and Competition.
FSU wants the B12 to go to 14
FSU wants Miami
FSU wants GT
FSU wants the conference title game to be hosted at rotating sites
FSU wants to keep ties to the Orange bowl in some way
IMO, the best case scenario for K-State is to stay at 10. The 2nd best case scenario is to expand to 16.
For recruiting and exposure purposes, we need and want to play UT and OU and as many Texas-based schools as possible every year.
With 10 teams, we play a minimum of four Texas schools every year (UT, TT, BU, TCU).
With 16 teams, we'll almost certainly be in the West division and will still play those same four Texas schools.
If the Big 12 expands to 12, we'll almost certainly be pushed to the east division with WVU, FSU, Miami, ISU and KU.
If the Big 12 expands to 14, we'll almost certainly be pushed to the east division with WVU, FSU, Miami, Clem, GaTech, ISU and KU.
Either of those scenarios (12 or 14) would be devastating to our goal of playing as many Texas schools as possible every year. 12 or 14 would mean we'd play 1 or 2 Texas schools in conf play per year. Yuck.
