What Happened to Big 12 Expansion?
Things have gotten super quiet out there. Anyone have any credible news or updates?

I think the B12 watched our games against the North Carolina schools and have cooled their feet.

FOX and ESPN have squeezed the Big XII to reconsider...the networks have to pay the new arrivals the same share everyone else is getting...still think Houston and Cincy will get the nod, at a financial discount

I don't think the American adds anyone

The timing isn't good for us anyway. The AAC may loose 2 very soon, say they will hold at 10 for now, but decide to backfill a few years from now. This would actually be advantageous for UDU. Best case scenario is that the football team is more competitive when the AAC starts looking for new members.

I think others have posted links from Chuck Landon at The Herald-Dispatch, but his recent column says ODU and UMass are on a short list of potential AAC replacements: http://www.herald-dispatch.com/sports/ma...760c1.html

So from reading that, we have to hope UH and Cincy go to the Big 12, and UConn bails for the BE. Meanwhile Rice goes to the MW along with UTep. And maybe Navy goes back to independent. If all that happens, I guess we have a shot.

Good find, and those 4 make about the best sense.

I still think Rice would be the first choice if Houston leaves, retaining the Houston market, and it's history with AAC teams.
Umass brings good geography, whether UConn stays or leaves, A-10 caliber basketball, and a very strong relationship with Temple.
ODU brings a top 50 market, good geography for ECU, historically good men's basketball, and as mentioned, an AAC caliber budget.
UNI brings the Chicago market

UNI is interesting. I don't recall seeing their name floating around much.

UNI was in the 2013 Orange Bowl, so they bring some credibility with bowl appearances.

I didn't know Northern Iowa was able to get into the Orange Bowl as an FCS team...

It's also Landon. He writes whatever will piss Marshall off. And uni and odu going would make for some upset Marshall fans.

So from reading that, we have to hope UH and Cincy go to the Big 12, and UConn bails for the BE. Meanwhile Rice goes to the MW along with UTep. And maybe Navy goes back to independent. If all that happens, I guess we have a shot.

You have been predicting Rice for a long time now. And I have said no way all along. And my reason is that just because Rice is in Houston, it doesn't mean that Houston pays attention. It will be interesting to see how this plays out. We can't both be wrong. 04-cheers

Not exactly.
JMU does not reside within the metro DC DMA.
JMU bases it's claims NoVa because it has some 30,000 active alums in tMetro DC area, and an estimated 80,000 total living there. Being a former women's teachers college, it is questionable how many of those 80,000 would be be of benefit athletic advertisers in that market of over 6 million.

In any event, NIU resides within the Chicago DMA. This essentially guarantees certain media rights that can be used in contract negotiations.

Would love for UMAss and ODU to go to AAC if Cincy and Houston joins B12. UMass can surely compete with UCOnn for the 'North Bowl'. Basketball would be strong with teams like Memphis, UCOnn, UMass and ODU.
