Ah gotcha.

If the B12 stays at 10 or expands but they take Memphis and Houston, what is plan B?

Does the AAC make sense long term if a possible invite to a P5 conference is off the table?

I think the AAC needs to focus on basketball hardcore if the conference is stuck with its current participants. We see the Big East still relevant in basketball and none of those teams will ever go to a power 5 conference. With UConn, Memphis, Temple and us we could be a great conference. Maybe add some other teams as we see fit and throw out some schools if they hurt us in basketball such as East Carolina.

How about a 14 team conference (10 playing football) with:

Temple, UCONN, UC, Memphis, Houston, Dayton, UMASS, St. Louis, VCU, GW, UCF, USF, Navy and ECU?

If Memphis and Houston go to the B12, you add UNCC and SMU.

10 decent football programs and a pretty good basketball conference.

Tubbs speaking up a little bit on expansion

XM College Sports ‏@SiriusXMCollege
. @TTuberville said he can't believe that the Big 12 hasn't expanded yet and any team would be interested in joining.

. @TTuberville tells us that if the Big 12 doesn't expand it will implode. He doesn't think it will stay status quo.

More interesting things regarding expansion. Here's some good tidbits of what people are saying.



Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV
@RedDirtSport BHV data recommends expansion to 14. BHV says B12N footprint
would be 20m day 1 and potentially reach 50m.

Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV
@RedDirtSport Theoretically a B12 with 14 members would require each member
to surrender just $1M of network $ to make Texas whole.

Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV
@RedDirtSport Realistically new members would likely not receive network
revenue until 2024 thus reducing the burden on current members.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@RedDirtSport But a deal may be in the works for the B12 to delay the
decision on a network & go ahead and add 2 for 2017 then 2 later.

Ram U ‏@CSURamT · 9h9 hours ago
@UCONNfan14 now he is saying exactly what I said in Nov, which was that
most likely scenario is UConn & Cinci now, & CSU & BYU or Mem 2020.

Greg Flugaur‏@flugempire
@CSURamT @UCONNfan14
But that is not what we are saying.
UC/UCONN now..if 12 and B12N is successful then 13 & 14 has BYU and UCF as
Favs.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · May 30
Big Ten Man (BTM): UCF candidacy to B12 upcoming years will be dependent on
relationship of FSU/Miami with ESPN.
If ESPN makes FSU "whole" with ACCN.....

Easton Knight ‏@EastonKnight · 1h1 hour ago
@flugempire What do you mean by making FSU 'whole'?

Greg Flugaur‏@flugempire
@EastonKnight
Short for getting ACCN off the ground and Max out branding/marketing/$
opportunities for FSU in ACC.

Nothing is official, and don't expect it to be with #Big12. Offers would likely be extended for 2017-18 athletic seasons.

No surprise the votes are now there, 8-2 for #Big12 expansion, but now who gets the offer? #BYU #UCBearcats #UConn #GoTigersGo #GoCoogs #UCF
