No they dont, they would be rest of pack in other conferences. in big12, they get the most cash, and the most calls, they run the show.

Any other conference, and their shite would get stomped by other programs. They cant dictate the rules of league,etc in another conference. In Big12 they rule the conference.

NO chance they move on

It's common knowledge OU and Texas have refused to sign GOR extension. Regardless of what happens today both programs are gone in 2026. OU doesn't really throw their weight around like Texas does and their leadership would have no issues working with other members of a conference. Conferences are supposed to collectively work together not one or two programs call all the shots. That's why the big 12 is dead.

So that expands the Big 12 to Utah and Ohio in addition to Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, and West Virginia.

Even with tu and BYU's TV deals I wonder if they could finally get a conference network together. They may not have the rights to all of tu, but does TCU, BU, and TTU deliver Texas to cable companies?

Good so Arkansas can take the 2 year deal of byu vs Washington spot for 2018 and 2019 football series.

Lose Nebraska, Colorado, A&M, Missouri

Gain TCU, West Virginia, Brigham Young, Cincinnati

I'd say the big 12 lost expansion, both from strength of competition and geographically

eh, Texas has a LHN contract through 2030. They might not be quick to dump that (which any other conference would demand).

No doubt about it. Pac, Big Ten, & SEC won expansion. The ACC lost, but did an admirable job recovering. The Big XII lost and shite the bed recovering.

And to think ... many Alabama/Mississippi fans have been known to complain about games in Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri.

This would be the proposed BXII wingspan.

Holy shite, EKG.

Take that same map, then draw a line between BYU and Houston, then a line between Houston and West Virginia.

Kind of resembles the logo of a certain school, doesn't it?

Clear as day

Texas and Oklahoma just want it all to end and pray they get a spot at the table for another conference

Power 5 is now a power 4

Big 12 is not an equal

I was giving them one last change to not complete bungle expansion deals

But they bungled it for the last time

10 teams with a conference title game?

Good news is they can only be found on Fox Sports 2 these days so we can all forget about the conference

Who should they have expanded with?

No good options.
