  1. I want no part of the Stanford band. At 56, it would be embarrassing to me to read my name on the arrest docket for assaulting a ā– ā– ā– ā–  tree;

  2. Oregon? Isn’t that entire state a political dumpster fire? Pass.

  3. Washington? Again, pass. They can keep Starbucks, too.

Western Carolina? I still chuckle at the Sooners scoring late in that game to win 76-0.

I’m looking for Jay-Z’s guy to make a splash. Something that nobody saw coming.

Thoughts: two schools that don’t NEED money (already flush) – Tennessee and A&M. Tennessee needs to be relevant again and the Big 12 is a lot more likely to add ā€œW’sā€ in the Volunteer column than an increasingly stacked SEC. A&M, meanwhile, could toss the biggest, baddest middle finger at those t-sippers in Austin – not to mention the entire SEC, who they look as playing favorites with Alabama – by returning to the Big 12.

That wild scenario aside, I like adding Arizona, ASU, Colorado and Utah.

Thank goodness you admitted that it’s a ā€œwild scenarioā€. Because there is zero chance anyone LEAVES the cash cow that is the SEC.

I think adding the 4 you mentioned does nothing positive for the Big 12. It dilutes your money that each program gets & simply is adding programs for the sake of adding programs. BYU-Utah becomes your marquee game………& it’s BYU-Utah. That’s an extremely intriguing matchup………for a Thu night game. That type of Conf gives you nothing.

So they’re trying to get wash and Oregon along with the mountain schools it seems .

Yeah maybe the new guy has some tricks and ideas up his sleeve . Wonder what schools
He’d try to rope in? Or maybe rule changes? Unlimited celebrations lol
That hire seems like we just hired a publicity agent and we kinda need that .

I’d also take Nebraska back in a heartbeat . They’d fill our stadiums . Really though Memphis and Louisville . I want the big 12 to stretch from coast to coast so bad .

PHX is the 5th most populated city in the country. Denver is 19th.

No still don’t mean sheit.

Go look at how baby eyeballs are watching ASU/Ariz & Colorado. Rutgers is in a massive market too. Your market helps…….if you’re watchable. You aren’t getting anything by adding those programs. Absolutely nothing

Fair enough.

Per this link, the proposed newcomers would rank this way in the Big 12 (per eyeballs watching):

Utah - 6th
Arizona State - 9th
Colorado - 12th
Arizona - 14th

@FreeDrop Yeah…….the best program you’d bring in……HAS FEWER EYEBALLS THAN WASHINGTON ST. Like I said…….those teams add nothing. There are 4 schools who have left for greener pastures (OU,TX, USC, UCLA). UCLA is easily the weakest of the 4. It’s also a program that most people don’t think real highly of, especially on this site. I’ve heard a bunch of you on here on the Arizona schools & Utah train. Go compare what UCLA brings to a Conf from a TV standpoint to what you get from those other 3. It’s not even close.

You’re looking at things from a won-loss record, that’s NOT why they consider teams. It’s mostly about media market and Denver/Boulder/Colo Springs is a good thing. Compare that to Oregone (yawn) and UW (Seattle, not bad but geographically it stinks about as bad as Eugene).
