He really doesn't like Cincinnati and West Virginia...
Instead of having Nebraska, Colorado and Missouri, which at least helped to even out the divisions, you've replaced them with BYU, Cincinnati, and West Virginia. That's a pretty massive drop off.
Instead of playing Texas and Oklahoma every year in football, some years you get to play Cincinnati and BYU instead. Ouch.
"Friendship is the grand fundamental principle of Mormonism" - Joseph Smith Jr.
Since any expansion dovetails with a TV network, look to the markets of possible candidates. For now, the top four are believed to be Connecticut, BYU (which has a national following), Cincinnati and possibly Colorado State (Denver market), although the situation is fluid.
I'll reiterate my prior position that anyone who believes a school other than BYU is a better Big 12 expansion candidate can S a D. I'll also expand on that and say that belief is , and :thumbsdown:.

Much like Brother Brigham during the trying times in LDS Church early history and the death of Joseph Smith, let the record state that my knees never buckled! Those who went all Orson Hyde and Orson Pratt POS will be moved to the bottom of the totem pole as a petty act of retribution.

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

Truth is, the Big 12's big play would be to go after Arizona and Arizona State. Likewise, the Pac-12's big play would be to go after Texas and Oklahoma -- yes, another rear-flank assault on the Big 12, a la Pac-16 ideas of yore. Yet if a bunch of rumblings started, don't think for a second that the Big Ten and SEC would passively sit out a round of expansion, even though each conference presently has 14 teams.
While such big fish speculation is fun, the reality is the Big 12 likely would be picking from teams such as Central Florida, Cincinnati, BYU, Boise State, Connecticut, Houston and the like, as noted by Jake Trotter, who by the way is now sporting a dapper salt-and-pepper beard.

Are there people claiming otherwise? They must vote for Trump.
"Guitar groups are on their way out, Mr Epstein."
Upon rejecting the Beatles, Dick Rowe told Brian Epstein of the January 1, 1962 audition for Decca, which signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead.
