It's possible that a future Big 12 without Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas is still a decent conference to be in.

According to the TexAgs infographic,

http://texags.com/s/15550/infographic-20...tv-ratings

WVU, TCU, Baylor, and Kansas St. grabbed better average TV ratings than Texas. A re-structured Big 12 could stay competitive on the field and in the TV ratings with the following:

TCU
Baylor
Texas Tech
Kansas St.
Iowa St.
Oklahoma St.
WVU
Houston
UCF
Cincinnati

Possible add USF and ECU if you want 12.

People dont believe me, but Id rather the Big 12 break up and the Texas 4 go somewhere else, over a scenario where USF/UCF get invited as is, right now.
I still hold on that I dont think Kansas has a landing spot though. The last time this happened the ACC and Big 10 never called and since then the money has gone up and the value of Kansas really hasnt. Its been a while since they won it all in Bball and football has gotten worse.

The remaining 6 are a good core to rebuild around and what I like is that schools that are in the AAC and some in the MWC are much closer as far as income, expenditures and the such. To me, there would be more parity which makes a fun conference to be in.

The rebuilt conference wont stay at 10 though. They will be forced to add markets and possibly attempt a network.

I see it more as:
ISU, KSU, Kansas, TCU, Baylor... Houston, CSU and BYU

and

WVU....Tulane, Memphis, Cinci, Temple, Uconn, USF and UCF

Yes, it is a basketball centric conference but the ACC has taught us that when you are not deep in football, that there is a ton of money to be made in basketball. Their future Bball NCAA credit payout is approaching over $5 million a year.
To me, this give the new Big 16 the largest markets, with regional network proximity, solid academics across the board (except maybe memphis...sorry) and it instantly creates one of the top 2 basketball conferences. Within the last 3 years 11 of the 16 teams have made the tourney and 9 have made it more thatn once. 8 have made it every year for that period.
You also have 5 teams (off the top of my head) that won a BCS/access bowl game and 2 more that played in one.

I love that conference. If it could come true it would be everything I would want. To me, it would be better then an invite to any of the current P5 simply because it keeps together several teams that I love playing and adds a level of parity that would keep fans interested.
I dont like conferences where each year your just wondering whos gonna come in 2nd.

Per USNWR, you're short changing us as we're top 100 in all those (and top 50-75 in some) departments. Not to mention, we are higher ranked than Texas Tech (our #1 "competitor") in literally everything except business administration.

The primary reason we lag in their overall rankings are our 4-year and 6-year graduation rates, which are pulled down by the significant number (~20%) of part time students. Fortunately, that number is trending down.

I can cite just as many crappy ratings, e.g. Houston is ranked 551 in the world by Quacquarelli Symonds. Forbes ranks Houston at 389th in the US. College Factual had Houston ranked below 500 in the US.

In any event, right or wrong, the fact is the University of Houston has a poor reputation nationally. The Big 10 held its nose when it invited Nebraska, which has a much better reputation than Houston. There is simply no way the Big 10 would admit a school like Houston. Texas, yes. Houston, no way.

Further, the school doesn't control its market. Texas and A&M have more fans in Houston than Houston does. In fact, Houston has surprisingly poor fan support. Football struggles to draw 30,000 even with a new stadium and basketball struggles to draw any fans at all. Crowds under 1000 actual bodies in the seats are not that unusual.

To be honest, I would guess Rice would be much higher up the pecking order to the Big 10, than Houston. Rice's academics are world class, something that matters to the Big 10 Presidents. Now, for conference that don't care about academics, like the SEC, Houston rank above Rice. But, for the Big 10, academics do matter.

Youre actually very right about that. Rice has NO CHANCE and yet they would receive more votes that Houston. People forget that Missou, who has MUCH higher attendance and much better academics, Plus is AAU got denied.
Then Kansas tried to get in after the Big 12 looked like it was going to break up and they too got denied.

Rutgers sucks but they have the two requirements. Huge Market and AAU status. Houston has one, but is missing the other. So how important is it to the Big 10 for a school to have AAU. Well, when Nebraska lost theirs, several presidents openly talked about kicking them out. I love Houston, but they are no Nebraska.

Houstons future is in the Big 12. They will be in it. Which form of the Big 12 is yet to be decided.

Rutgers sucks??? That's classic coming from a USF fan......wow. Just wow...

Don't confuse any fan in the AAC as being content with our current situation.

That said don't tell me with a straight face that Rutgers would be in the B10 if they weren't in the NY area.

Put Rutgers in say Kentucky and you're in the cold just like the rest of us. Not bitter you guys took the opportunity that anyone of us would take but don't act like you weren't born on third base thinking you hit a triple.......

It just amazes me that every chance one of you gets, you somehow drag Rutgers into the conversation, and it ends up with Rutgers sucks....yada yada yada.

I just showed how ironic that one statement was coming from a USF fan, who's school is 2-7 all time against RU. Responding to a USF fan that said Rutgers sucks.

At that point, I never said a word about any other AAC school. All of a sudden the ECU fanatics jump in. At that point, I said to him - enjoy the AAC. Then you jump in....and good for you, you won the only game we played against you.

I know how lucky RU is, but we have put the money into the program and played our cards right and found ourselves in the right spot at the right time. We can't change the fact that we're in NJ (and the state U) and you're not. But the facts are the facts, you're out in the cold and we're not. You play the cards you're dealt. As the real estate folks say - LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

That said you pretty much said what I said other than I disagree that we are stuck. Time will tell but you know as well as I do that any aspirations to the B10 before a few years ago were just message board fodder and far from reality.

Time will tell. Time will tell.

First off ive never heard of college factotum and i doubt anyone else has.. even trieed to look into their rankings but it wouldnt let me look beyond 3 mins and said i had to sign in with facebook to continue
Quacquarelli Symonds are world rankings (every college in the entire world)..oregon an AAU school and nebraska has the same ranking as us

half the big 10 is 250+

and with forbes we are 389 but rank higher than a ton of other schools good academic reps..in all honesty the difference between houston at the lower big 10/aau schools (290-ish) is the label of being a aau school..
