I really do wonder how well Marshall could compete in a league that does not allow NQs though. That is the bread and butter of a lot of their success. Not knocking them, it clearly works well for them. Just would have me very curious.

That's a little unfair, Marshall doesn't play on Tuesdays.
That's another thing i HOPE is killing the fan base, midweek MACtion in a cold weather climate. Hard to trek out to Dekalb on a Tuesday night when it's below freezing with windchill at Huskie Stadium. Again i have no promises, only hope that a change in conference can stir up the fan base again

Thanks. You're right, I'm not sure how I missed taht in January.

Quote:The divisions must be as CLOSE to even as possible (thus unbalanced divisions are allowed when necessary due to the conference having an odd number of teams).

Does this part have a source?

Not going to debate you, but regardless of which teams leave, I don't see you can possibly ignore the signs saying B12 expansion, with an AAC team or teams, is likely.

I can ignore the possibility bucause there is no evidence that it is happening except on message boards and from writers looking for a story. I think it is a level of mental illness that we go hysterical over nothing.
So of this nonsense is driven by fans of schools who think they would gain. The 8 votes are not there.

So what makes you confident that is the correct position? You state it as a fact, rather than as an opinion.

Plus, there have been hundreds of articles in the media, not written or driven by fans, saying the Big 12 could very well expand by this summer.
Articles in the media are worthless unless they go past speculation and that is what most of them are. Besides many of those articles have pointed out the divisions in the b 12. It is not going to happen....the votes are not there. Nor will the b 12 reload if it loses its biggest programs in 2025,

You are closer to this situation than most with your location. I agree with you about the speculation. You brought up the point that the Big 12 would not reload. Why? If OK bolts, I'd assume that OKST would go with them, same for Texas and TT. If that happens, then what do you see?

Assuming it's Dodd's #1 and #2 picks, Cincy and UCF, could this American conference, looking like two BigTens-at-11-for-years divisioned together, work with the new conference championship rules...

(Football only) & <non-football>

West Div 10 + (1): (Hawaii) / Fresno / SDSU / UNLV / Nevada / Boise / BYU / Wyoming / Colo St / Air Force / New Mex

East Div 9 + <1> + (2): <VCU> / (Army) / (Navy) / UCONN / Temple / ECU / USF / Memphis / Tulane / Houston / SMU / Tulsa

Swofford will go to the state of Texas for Houston before UCONN. Swofford covets the Texas market for the ACC.

Wouldn't surprise me. He makes one bad decision after another.

Delany has wiped his clock clean.

Swofford has given up valuable real estate in Maryland and New Jersey, and he's claimed several small burgs in central New York, northern Kentucky, and about a 1/2 mile radius around Cleveland Circle in Boston.

Meanwhile, the B1G drops bombs and takes big states and pants their network on tens of millions of subscribers. It would not surprise me if the myopic ACC once again ignores a high income state in the nation's population metropolis.

If we lose two, add from the MWC or stay at 10. Otherwise perception takes a hit.

The eight best program options to join the Big 12 if the league expands

Excerpt: The American – the conference most likely affected – will move on. I had a conversation with American commissioner Mike Aresco here this week. He was almost resigned to losing teams, even suggesting the conference might be stronger with 10.

Read more here:

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball...ue-expands

I'd love to see Rice as a #11 and Marshall wouldn't be bad as a #12.

Navy, Temple, Marshall, ECU, USF, and UConn would make a solid eastern group.

Tulane, Rice, Houston, SMU, Tulsa, Memphis/UC/UCF would make a great western group.

Adding Rice would also give the conference even more academic separation from the rest of the g5.

Rice? Marshall? Geez that's why we left CUSA. Sorry to say but academics at Rice means absolutely nothing in this discussion.

Stay at 10 unless you can get ByU and maybe one more out west.

If we lose 2 members staying at 10 football/9 basketball is a great option.

If we lose 1, beg Army to come aboard for a 12/10 lineup.
