I still think where there is smoke, there is fire. Ultimately, Texas has to be on board or at least made whole for expansion to happen. I still put it at 50/50 but, should it happen, I truly believe it is going to include UC. From there I think it is between Memphis and UCONN. I think BYU is too difficult and I don't see the Big 12 moving west right now. I don't see the Florida thing happening right now. No other league needs to go to Florida so, should the Big 12 move to 14 teams one day, those Florida schools would definitely still be there. That's not to say that any of these other schools wouldn't be there too. I think they go east in UC and UCONN.

Big 12 lack of Action
This expansion is not going to take place soon enough for me. I would suggest that they will move at a snail's pace. One thing I have a hard time grasping, although it is very typical, ADs and school presidents may feel one way (let's say to expand), but the school muckety-mucks, chancellors etc. put the kibosh on it! All stars will have to align just right, they will have to ignore Fed Ex and a hand full of money. If you read articles from the papers out in Big 12 country, Cincinnati is barely mentioned.

BIG GAME LOOMS
When UC plays Houston this fall on Thursday, September 15th, it will mean a lot in regards to Big 12 expansion. People out in Texas are really pushing the Houston Cougars. Big 12 people are saying strength of football team will go along way. I say it will mean a lot for UC to beat Houston this year in football. Problem is UC plays at Purdue on the Saturday before they play Houston on Thursday. Cats must have a great year this year.

"IF" the Big 12 were to expand, do you think Ono leaving hurts our chances of getting in?

I think the Big 12 has all of the information they need and Santa has done a fabulous job to put UC into favorable consideration. There's nothing more that can be done at this point until Texas decides not to block expansion. If that happens, the Big 12 has all they need to make their selections (or have already made it). I think UC has a 60-70% chance of getting in if the Big 12 expands by two and 100% if they expand by four (though I think there's little to no chance they expand by four).

Conference Composition is the new term for expansion (Bowlby quote), Bowlsby advises Big 12 to expand, ACC Network (fact), ACC GOR extended to 2036 (fact), **RUMOR** BYU getting congratulatory welcome to the Big 12 call from OU AD, etc...
Today is going to put an end to UC to the Big 12 Expansion topics. Either they vote to end expansion talks (end of the thread) or they vote to expand (beginning of the will we get an invite thread). Bowlsby says conference composition: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/with-di...212445871.html Bowlsby expansionlink: http://www.vanquishthefoe.com/2016/7...-pro-expansion ACC Network and ACC extending GOR in same link: http://espn.go.com/college-sports/st...ch-acc-network |
