If the Big 12 somehow continues beyond the expiration of their GOR do they get in as a pair? They bring a pair of nice Florida markets and rich recruiting and could either be put with the 4 Texas schools for a division, creating the opportunity for a a Texas-Oklahoma rematch for a title. Or they could be matched with WVU and the 3 prairie schools.

In a word, NO

Remember the big run of Boise State. Nothing came of it, except a "super G5" plan by the Big East in a desperate effort to keep their BCS status -- which they would not have kept with or without Boise State. There are criteria beyond a few years of grid iron success to be added to the club. To be honest they want to see if you bring as much benefit to the table on 1-11 years as when winning. They call it a 100 year decision because they can't get rid of you. It's not European Soccer with relegation. So the Presidents of the already club member schools have to want your school as a peer institution or not.

They can get added to the Big 12 after OU and Texas leave, and likely take 2 or 3 other schools with them. At which point the B12 is no longer a P5 conference. But that falls under desperation back fill.


Basically all it does is allow the top 4 AAC and maybe a couple MWC schools to move to a new top G5 (G6?) conference, replacing Navy, Tulsa and Tulane and ECU with Baylor, Texas Tech and Kansas State.

It’s clear you don’t know anything about UCF/usf and Florida as whole of you believe that all they bring is a few years success.
