RE: Actual Big 12 expansion news
I thought we had agreed in another wrestling thread that Fresno State's restarted program was needed by the PAC to get to six? Apparently not?

I mean, they have Cal Poly and CSU Bakersfield as affiliates ... so it has nothing to do with being a CSU school ...

Good for UNI.

Missouri is still in the MAC. UNI had been their best competition of late - Mizzo is threatening to become too big of a fish in a fairly small pond.

Was actually another thread on this. A Fresno fan says the Pac12 only allows affiliates in one sport. Fresno St wants their women's lax team in the new Pac12 for that sport, and the wrestling team to a stronger Big12. The PAC12 will have to change their rules to get Fresno wrestling.

OK, thanks NoDak

Also, it is pretty silly at this point for Mizzou wrestling to not be in the Big 12. Wonder if there's any chance that Mizzou wrestling would become an affiliate of the Big Ten? Crazy thing is that all 14 schools in the Big Ten have wrestling. Other than the obvious basketball and football, the only other sport that has all 14 is golf. Wisconsin dropped baseball a while ago, and NW doesn't have men's track.
