Good news is that we were the Big12s first choice...
Bad news is that that Jinx TC is never right so his dumbazz ramblings that we are in have caused a shift in the situation, so now Boise State and Wyoming are locks ..

This conference expansion sh!t has been really going on for us since 2002 or 2003. It's made for a loooooooooooong 21st century.

There's talk in early June Big 12 will announce it will expand, that it is vetting candidates, and may add more than 2. Imagine the chaos.

RE: Calkins just said there is some good news & some bad news re: Big XII
I would assume that ANY news re: Big XXII expansion that leaves Memphis out couldn't be described as Good News / Bad News.
Good News: Big XXII expanding.
Bad News: Memphis it out.
That wouldn't fly.
So I infer that whatever the GN/BN might be, the good news has to imply that Memphis is in the mix.

Every time I open a thread about the Big 12 on this board, I just get more confused and feel like I know less than when I logged on...

Why do we need recaps of a radio show that offers replay?

So basically, IF the B12 decides to expand, IF they can try to renegotiate a new conference network IF Texas agrees to give up or restructure the LHN or IF they decide to expand without the conference network, they COULD decide to add 2 teams that could be Houston, Memphis, BYU, Cincy, Colo St, UConn, UCF, USF, Boise OR they could add 4 or they COULD do nothing. So we have about a 50/50 chance of being a 25% chance that could be a lock if the B12 decides to take FedEx's offer of being a major sponsor. But only if Texas says its ok. Is that right? LOL

I agree TC is far better predictor than many posters. Sometimes a little off, but he is always close to the truth.
