I think we should give serious consideration to poaching the B12. I would like to approach Kstate, KU, WVA, and Iowa State. We can offer them better long term stability (the B12 is over), they won't have to put up with Texas bs and they would be good adds for fb, bball and/or both.

Because those schools don't need or want the 20 million a year the big 12 gives them?

It would be nice but it would never happen. Joining us means admitting they are accepting a down grade which wont happen. Not to mention it would make the conference way to bloated anything past 14 is really just too much.

I totally agree with you. Fancy that.... the only wrinkle is the television partner has to get us to P5 level money and those teams have to know their options are limited

Poach us first plz

If we can grab some B12 schools I would look at a spot for NIU.

yes, if we can get a p5 type tv deal to make this conference look more attractive. i don't see them coming here with the tv deal we have right now.

It would be too much of a lateral move. P6 to p6. Maybe at some point.

Agree but them coming here would help us in conjunction with creating a new deal. I think we add Army too and use the rights to the Army/Navy game as part of the bargaining chip.

Grab BYU for national team too.

It could work.


East:
UC
Temple
UCONN
ECU
UCF
USF
Army
Iowa State or WVA

West:
BYU
SMU
Tulsa
Tulane
Memphis
Houston
Kstate or KU
Navy

i agree also it opens the door for old and new rivalrys, KU and UConn in the basketball, Cincy and WVU in football just to name a few...

You can't be serious about K|Uck unless you're looking to add another basketball only school.

When the conference realignment first started and it looked like the Little12 was gonna break up, the ChicKUns were extremely nervous. I remember Mr. Toupee himSelf giving a very awkward interview: "Whatever happens I'm sure we'll be fine." It didn't sound convincing. Their only choice during that period of extreme instability was the Big East and it was in the process of deforming into the middling Big Priest which we see today. The Pac10, Big10, SEC, and ACC were only looking to strengthen football. It was a very hilarious period for me.

Perhaps K|UCK City will join the American. Expect a clause in their application where they can't be forced to schedule us because "they really have nothing to gain".

I'd say OU, Kansas, Iowa St and NIU fill in the map.

How about poaching Kansas, Missouri, OU and Texas.......perfect geographical fit and maintains great rivalaries.

You don't want Texas. That would be like trying to adopt a Xenomorph XX121 as a pet.

If the Big 12 breaks up, it makes sense to make a play as long as the media partners understand where the viewers will be coming from, and I think they will.

If the Big 12 does not break up, look for two of the best American teams to be poached next time around. Everybody is in audition mode till the Big 12 contract is over, including Big 12 teams not named Texas or Oklahoma.

Baylor may be available soon. They might not be who ya'll would want. But they would be a big get, even if they are a marked brand. Combine them with New Mexico and it would appear that the AAC would be making waves nationally. The AACs basketball would be even more marketable.

baylor does have all these sexual assault lawsuits and other related stuff so that could make the conference look bad. im not saying we shouldn't do it im just saying take that into consideration
