That is going to happen.

Stugray might be onto something. Nothing like that has EVER happened before. Not in the Big XII. Not in the AAC. Not in the C-USA. No conference has EVER put all the Texas teams in one division. It’s just NEVER happened. Now let’s list all the times Texas schools have been split into different divisions in FBS football:

I hate to break it to you, but in 1996 the 16-team WAC put UTEP in a Quadrant 3 with Utah, BYU, and New Mexico instead of Quadrant 4 with SMU, TCU, and Rice.

That clearly sets the precedent for the future Big 12 in 2023, regardless of what every other conference is doing right now and has done in the past.

UTEP is not actually in Texas. That's why they changed the name of the school from Texas Western.

Utah and Utep are practically next to each other in the dictionary.

How’d that work out?
