I realize that there's nothing Wichita State can do to prepare for the eventual collapse of the B12 and the vacuum that will ensue. The new B12 will eventually become a slightly upgraded version of the current AAC. The new AAC will become a slightly upgraded version of the current CUSA.

Unless there's a miracle and the new B12 accepts a bball-only member, we are screwed and the clock is officially ticking. There's no point in us starting football as we won't have time to build the program up to the quality of the current 10-15 programs that will be competing to fill the void in the now depleted B12.

To borrow a regionally appropriate saying: I guess we'll need to make hay while the sun shines. *sigh* I suspect our administration will offer to convert the university to Jesuit in hopes of finding a spot in the Big Pee.

*begging* Please don't leave us behind with ECU and Tulane!!!

I agree....

We can agree to disagree..

The Big 12 leftovers just don't have the geography to offer big revenue and they'll need a windfall to make it worth it. It would involve a total rebuild of their footprint.

The money is not there.

It's Pollyanna to believe that brand is some great umbrella. Texas and OU are the brand value.

You're disagreeing with the wrong post; I responded to you in post #118. Did you even read it? What I quoted to you about the B12 leftovers almost raiding the Big East in 2011 is a fact and the reasons for doing so are explained—nothing would change in the event of another possible raid. This almost happened in 2011 without UT, OU, TT, and OSU in the B12. However, you think that this version of the Big East would withstand a B12 raid in the future from basically the same schools... OK....
