The Big 12 expansion groundswell

[Omaha 680]

What's funny is that if they had 12 they'd actually have to travel to one less game in conference and could have an extra home game.

And how often would a team have to travel to Provo and Morgantown in the same season? Once a decade if at all?

He's probably thinking West Virginia & San Diego State.

This is funny:



He acts like they booted Nebraska and they would come running back if given a chance.

PBW: Please don't comment. I have this one covered for you. TIA.

Who knows... Maybe he thinks the Big Ten has buyer's remorse and will now kick this non-AAU school out. The honeymoon may be over for Nebraska and the Big Ten.

Emails: Wisconsin and Michigan opposed Nebraska's AAU membership
[...]
Emails and letters obtained by the Journal Star after a series of open-records requests indicate that Wisconsin and Michigan did not support UNL during its turbulent and unsuccessful AAU membership review earlier this year.


The emails and letters hint at dissent within the Big Ten and call into question the pretext on which UNL was invited to join it.


With every other Big Ten school holding AAU membership, UNL Chancellor Harvey Perlman told the Chicago Tribune in 2010, it was doubtful that UNL would have been invited to join the Big Ten had it not been an AAU member.


But emails suggest the leaders of two Big Ten schools -- Michigan and Wisconsin -- were among the 44 university presidents that didn't support keeping Nebraska in the AAU.

Most B12 coaches are pro-expansion but Gary Patterson is still a douchebag.

Brett McMurphy again reiterated that BYU is not being considered as a candidate. He says if they expand it will not be West.

Not that I necessarily think McMurphy is right, but is independence sustainable? Is there going to be a point where the MWC is the only option?

Yeah, they're not expanding, its just that the university presidents discuss it at every single meeting, they have an expansions committee, and a growing number of coaches have publicly stated they are in favor of it. But yeah, probably in 5-10 years. The college football landscape has been pretty steady over the last 5-10 years as well.

Independence >> MWC

The MWC buys BYU nothing. The MWC means less money and less exposure. BYU would still play crappy teams at home. The only difference is that those crappy teams would be crappy teams the fans are familiar with.
