The Big XII is at it again
The AD at Texas has made a statement that the Big XII will expand by 2018. Let the rumors begin all over again.
I know how much everyone wanted another expansion thread.

Big XII needs medication and therapy.

Big 12 still has our Powerpoint. Why wait until 2018?

Read a story about that this morning. Seems the Big12 Conference Office has already put out a statement saying that the Big12 is not actively seeking new members.

One would think that with a $43.1 million athletic budget that Arkansas State could use something a little more sophisticated than Microsoft Powerpoint.

Meh, let them talk. Then let them, maybe take Houston and Cincy. Then watch the AAC raid other conferences and eventually CUSA loses 2 of their best programs....and no one leaves the Belt.

No way Tulsa is in. Their stadium is so small compared to others and they don't draw well.

We just took Idaho's presentation and changed the names.
You don't keep a $43.1 million dollar budget going by wasting most of it on fancy graphics.

If that's the case GS has a P5 playing in Statesboro.

The Big 12 couldn't come to a consensus before...why will it happen this time?

Solid point. Idaho boosters know a school president who might be just the ticket for your line of thinking. I can check to see if he's available. No, never mind -- just look for a large box mailed to the doorstep of the Arkansas State president's office. We'll try to remember to poke some air holes in it.

I hope we don't get a new shuffle like that. I wouldn't want to see South in a division with Texas and New Mexico Teams. It would hurt home attendance and most fans wouldn't travel that far for a road game.

Arkansas State and Missouri State package to the Big 12. Clearly the best for the Big 12 right there.

Where do we sign? This is the first reshuffle I actually like.

Why would USM leave CUSA?
JMU is to far out of the footprint.
