What is the status of the B12 now? Does Mizzou get to leave for next season? Has the WV stuff been hashed out with the Big East?Last edited by UtahJazzFan88; 11-23-2011, 03:51 PM.

So that means we see B12 with BYU, BSU, AFA, UL, Cincy and a big hail mary attempt for ND?? seems plausible. Timing for 2013? Yep.
Doccoug may have nailed it: when this thread gets to 12k posts, we'll be in.

Why does everyone have to go to 16? I can see 12 as the magic number, in order to have a conference championship game. I don't see much difference between 12 and 16 teams, though.
I think everyone agrees the B12 has to expand back to 12 (at least). I'm not sure why the PAC or B1G need to grow to 16. Why would they bother?Fitter. Happier. More Productive.

I don't think it's for everyone. Pac is fine where it is. B10, too. But the b12 is an unstable child and needs to get bigger by the era of superconferences.
