I think you already know the answear to that ^^^

The B12 would be nice for football and basketball... It would gives us all here in Houston a chance to remind them BONGhorns who the real football kings are... Hehe

I think the Big12 wants to avoid the AAC after the media fiasco and their crap talk with their ADs and The Texas Tech doofus who said UCF wasn't a good team. Either way hook the Big12 I rather do something with the SEC or PAC12.

But, I wonder what the need for working with another league on officiating brings. Does anybody know?

Reduction in overhead and improved quality. IMO the only two conferences that make sense would be either the BXII or C-USA due to location of officials and conference HQ (I realize the AAC has not moved to Dallas yet).

I realize many would be up in arms if it is C-USA but it does make some sense from a financial and quality standpoint. Adding the best of their crew to ours lifts all boats. As it currently stands we get some bad officiating on Saturdays in the fall because of the number of games and the lack of depth in good officials.

I think the cost side of thing needs little explanation.

It's not CUSA. Aresco said in the podcast that they were talking with another power conference because they have better resources.

You must have listened to a different podcast. I played the podcast twice and I did not hear him say they were talking with another power conference.
