Is Big 12 expansion on the horizon? (Link)
From The National Football Post article:
Speculation continues to persist that Louisville could still land in the Big 12 after nearly moving West last year. The Cardinals would bring a successful basketball program, a top-50 television market and a neighbor for West Virginia. Keep in mind that the Mountaineers are nearly 900 miles from nearest Big 12 member Iowa State, and they are nearly 1,500 miles from Texas Tech. Meanwhile, Louisville is only roughly 400 miles from Morgantown, as Kentucky and West Virginia are border states with similar cultures. And while football is the sport that drives the boat, Louisville being the nation's No. 1 college basketball market for television ratings is a big deal. And with an emerging footbal program, the city will rally around a program playing regularly against Oklahoma, Texas, etc.
