Are you adding UCF and USF?
Are you adding UCF and USF this month to get to 12? I am hearing this rumor from multiple sources.

I'm certainly not "in the know* but I'm not hearing any noise about it aside from here on CSNBBS.

It's not going to happen, Wilkie. It's just a rumor from the expansionista wannabees on the CR forum. Right now, the B12 is happy at 10 members. The only way any B12 expansion happens prior to the GoR expiring is if the other conferences make a conference championship game a requirement for making the playoff. There is no movement in that direction, nor is there any rumor of any movement that way...

You can take that to the bank...

If you look on a map, the next two additions that make a ton of sense IMO are Memphis and UC. Its not going to happen tomorrow and Memphis football needs to grow a ton, but that's something to look for years down the line

If Memphis wants a B12 invite, they've got until the end of the GoR to put on some kind of showing. But I don't see it happening until after the GoR expires, and Memphis will have to show some sustained success...

UC will need to keep their football program from falling off the map, and they'll need to upgrade the Nip, or move games to PBS for B12 play. Their small stadium size is what kept them out of consideration this time around...

Still think ECU would be a solid choice if they could another decent coach to stick around and build their program back up... That is if no other big conf. teams were available. They have a great fan base and do/did fairly well in their OOC games.... They have to be better than Memphis football.

So do I, Otacon. Ollie has pushed for ECU's inclusion to the B12 leadership too. I've always thought they could do as well as VT, with the right conference membership...

RE: Are you adding UCF and USF?
Memphis and Tulane are going to need sustained success in football for some time. UC and NIU have at least experienced football success. But both need to continue that. UC needs to expand Nippert, or move their games to PBS, and NIU needs to increase their attendance as well...

All adding those school right now would do is diminish the amount of money the B12 schools receive, drop the average attendance figures, and add more teams to the bottom of the conference in football. The B12 needs none of that...
