I call BS there is no way any of that is true knowing what we know about changing conferences and getting your ducks in a row so as not to be sued. That said its still gonna happen. This guy is just trying to be special by posting that hes in the know when clearly he is not

No matter what thanks for posting. Because none of us know if it BS or fact at this point.

If we add 4 teams to get to 14, I see the 5 new east teams along with Iowa St and one of Ksu or KU. We play 6 inner division games every year and 3 cross division games.

Essentially, the B12 would have swapped out a piss poor North division for a much improved East division and a lot more money.

I don't like a 16 team idea.

Forgive my ignorance, but how would playing Texas and/or OU prevent you from playing either UF or Miami?

I don't think we would keep our rivalry with UM intact unless they came to the Big12.

Playing one of of Texas/OU every year
A BIG-12 conference sched
UF at the end of the year (This won't go away)
And then a potential CCG

Just too much on one plate to add Miami.

But then again, with the direction Miami is heading, they could end up being our FCS opponent

I thought Miami said No?

Shalala doesn't care about the football team, not even 1%. She only pretends to care when donations are involved. The football team could get the death penalty, and not a single you know what would be given by her.

That's huge then, since he is very well connected to WVU.

FSU and Clemson have no business being in the ACC, in my opinion.

Florida State fields a good basketball team. So do schools like Alabama and Texas. However, we are all first and foremost football schools and should be aligned accordingly.

I think KU and KSU go the East together. ISU will be in the West. Remember Missouri is in the SEC East.

Otherwise, just a big fan of adding Clemson and FSU. Both teams add something of value in football, basketball, and baseball.

Right. I don't think the two Kansas schools would like to split. Iowa St does seem more like a natural fit for the east than west. Nonetheless, lots still left to be decided.

I hope the Big XII expands enough to where we can keep the Kansas schools in the same division as Texas. I love playing KU every year in basketball, and like it or not, Kansas State in football. They always seem to get up to play Texas and Snyder has just reinforced that post-Prince. Bring it on, I say. Plus it'd just be weird if they were in the east, but I guess they would make Iowa State feel less alienated if that were to occur.

Just say we lose Nebraska, Colorado, Mizzou and A&M and replace them with West Virginia, TCU, Florida State and Clemson.

Can't really argue that isn't an upgrade IMO. Better overall programs in football, basketball, and baseball. And much more national appeal, and a larger footprint.

Add a couple more like Notre Dame and Georgia Tech and you've got a damn good argument on your hands that the Big XII would be the premier football conference in the country.

I'm from Texas and I was sad to see Texas and Texas A&M sacrifice their storied rivalry to the hands of conference realignment. Get used to heartbreak. All these #%*¥ers care about is the money, not the history nor the rivalries. The Big 12 has somehow put themselves in the drivers seat of a much nicer ride.
