    If that did happen UConn and Louisville would just replace them right? Awesome basketball conference.

      Interesting that he says 14 is probably the final number for the Big12.

      Too bad they'll take Louisville and Cincy for 13/14.

          I just watched the pres conf for the new Big 12 commissioner


          He said that college football has changed and that it is about having the right "electronic footprint" and that geographical footprints have been marginalized. Basically, he implied that he wants to enhance the league with the best possible media exposure and decisions won't be based on geography.

            I think you have to have a certain bias to interpret that as a good thing for BYU. I'm not saying it's bad. It just doesn't mean much of anything.

              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.

                It's less bad for BYU.

                      Don't you have some false hope to peddle on CB? I don't think they have had their fill of baseless innuendo yet.

                        You seem a little bitter.
