As a Memphis fan, I would be — anything but.

I feel like Memphis is a shoe in for the Big XII once UT/OU are really gone.

I don't see any major waves in G5 reorganization until then.

It would be nice to see some sort of agreement take place though. I don't think anyone wants another round of callups to FBS eating into the already meager crumbs of a pie that is left for the G5. The AAC should take 2 from C-USA and then everyone should just hold until the next wave.

I'm not as sure about Memphis to the Big 12 as you are. We shall see.

I’ve yet to see a compelling argument as to why Big XII would do a two-phase expansion.
Only reason I can come up with is to pause and see what happens to Big XII in the next CFP contract. If they get priced similar to G5 expansion just divides up a smaller pie more ways.

Agreed. There's no solid reason to believe that the Big 12 will expand beyond the 12 members that they will have after UT and OU depart.

There are many commenters here who believe in the Big Bang Theory of conference expansion, thinking that college conferences, like the universe, will just keep expanding and expanding forever. I do not subscribe to that theory.

I don't think they will, but Big 12 officials have talked about it being a real possibility.
