KU\MU would make lots of people happy and likely take KC out of big 12 country

Makes sense for MU and KU assuming KU is willing to drop a large chunk of change to get out(or the big 10 is willing to help)
Probably won't happen, but in a few years the BIG will have new network contracts and fresh money.  That would be the time they would make a move.
Hot time in Kat town tonight.

OU and Texas run their own power conference; why would they leave?

KU?  Yeah, they'd leave for the academics if BGL is still in charge.

Don't see how the Big XII would stay together if we lost Texas or OU.

Delany needs to be careful.  The SEC, ACC, and Big 12 are all allied or planning an alliance in some for, and as the conspiracy goes, the three have blocked together to shut him down.

I want to know what the rumors if the bowl alliance are. I've heard a few rumors that the three might sign with some bowls to supply teams, but not assign permenant conferences to bowls. I have heard any specifics or anything, just a few friends with OU/OSU connections and a mention or two on Tulsa radio.
I got a guy on the other line about some white walls

ku friends tell me that they're the pick of the litter after OU/Texas because they own the Kansas City market, and have a strong presence, via alumni, in the Denver market.    :lol:

I tried to explain that Univ of Colorado barely has a presence in the Denver market, hardly any team besides the Broncos has a presence in the Denver market.

Living in the area, this is spot on.

Well, there has been talk between the ACC and the Big 12 about a scheduling alliance, obviously, and according to a tweet about an hour ago from Chuck Carlton, Swofford called Bowlsby about getting a GOR set up for the ACC, so we have been actively helping them keep it together.

Based on the article that was released today, if the Big Ten took Maryland and was sniffing at Big 12 and SEC schools, all three conferences have incentive to shut the Big Ten down, which is probably why we've been openly working with the SEC and ACC.

Did FSU sign their death ticket with this GOR?  How are they going to dig themselves outside of the red?  I don't see the conference improving as a whole anytime soon.

BYU crappy choice but top of the heap

UConn would be the best east coast choice but again, crap.

Only see us going to the east for 12 (still think we have to be at 12 and have a champship game for the new playoff system)

Going west would be a giant pain in the ass.  No conference wants to span three different time zones.  Include BYU's unwillingness to play on Sundays in all athletics and it becomes a scheduling nightmare.  If we expand at all, it will be east with the likes of Cincy/UConn to help fill the void between the rest of the conference and WVU.  It will also give us a new giant TV market in the armpit of the U.S.  Rejoice!

Would love to see this happen.  Bet the SEC gets a GOR in a hurry after that happens.

With the options left, 10 is without a doubt where we need to be.

Still pretty LOL on mushing Louisville.

This.  However, if I were King of the Universities of America I would make a more regional decent school (CU, MU, NU, Iowa) join the Big 12 and kick out WVU.  I could easily be convinced to do the same to TCU, Baylor, and Iowa State.
