    Not particularly.

      Iowa and Illinois have five football national championships each. Minnesota has seven. The Hoosiers, however, have never won a national championship in football but have five basketball national championships so maybe they belong in the Big 12.

        Yeah, there is no one worth adding that would move the needle... SDSU maybe but as a reduced revenue member. They should have added BYU when they had the chance.

        I am thinking that the Pac 12-2 new media contract will have a minimal member clause and that number will be 10. If they lose one member it will be lights out.

          I don't think SDSU is additive in terms of revenue.

                Same but with the exception being if it came at the expense of Utah fans.

                  I work with a Baylor fan. He mentioned yesterday "I guess our coach accidentally let it slip that Utah is coming over." Wondering how I could've missed news that big I did a quick google search and it looks like a week ago his coach accidentally called BYU "Utah" while answering a question about the new Big 12 members. Seems a clear and obviou slip up but Deseret News actually did a story on it.



                  Baylor Bears football coach Dave Aranda accidentally said the Utah Utes are joining the Big 12 Conference, praised the BYU Cougars football program.

                    Yeah, BU coach is confused.

                    But lots of sports writers are saying that the Pac-12-2 is dead and the four teams are coming to the Big 12:

                      Greg Swaim is an idiot.

                          FIFY. Just kidding, it may well be any day that one of many possible dominos fall. But I doubt Swaim has any inside info on it.

                            Here is a nice summary of the idiots...

                            Pac-12 realignment, expansion: Demise, collapse of conference to Big Ten, Big 12 predicted

                            Is doomsday coming for the Pac-12?

                            Some recent stories paint a bleak picture about the future of the conference after reports that the Big Ten could pursue more Pac-12 schools in conference expansion and that other universities in the conference could leave for the Big 12 in the realignment aftermath.

                            Check out what college writers are saying about the Pac-12 and its long-term viability as a conference.
