BuzzardBilly Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Mentions adding TCU, university of Houston. My big deal with all of this is, it really wouldn't be the Big 12 would it? Wouldn't it be the Big 14? Thank about having to change all of that stationary!!! Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Are there any other conferences that big? Does Iowa State get bumped out? Quote Link to comment

Enhance Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 not gonna happen. QFT No way. They probably wouldn't have to change the name though. The Big 10 is made up of eleven teams so nobody would call for a change I would assume. I don't like it simply because it's 2 more Texas schools, which means you may as well just make the South the "Texas" and get rid of both Oklahoma schools. Seems like a lot of effort for a little change, but I wouldn't mind it if Missouri ended up decking out to another conference. Quote Link to comment
Drowning_in_the_Sea_of_Red Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 For those of you wondering... it's an "Ask CFN" article. link Q: Suppose that for some crazy reason every BCS conference felt the need to expand and add 2 mid-major teams to each of their respective conferences. In your opinion who would go where and why?? – devin A: The reasoning for each would be a combination of geography and the potential for instant rivalries with nearby schools. School-size and fan base is also part of the equation; it’s not just wins and losses. ACC: East Carolina and Florida Atlantic Big East: UCF and Marshall Big Ten: Notre Dame (I’m making ND a mid-major for purposes of this question. I can’t come up with a second team, but if I had to pick one I’d take Northern Illinois.) Big 12: Houston and TCU Pac 10: BYU and Utah (But I’d also add Boise State and Fresno State) SEC: Memphis and Southern Miss Quote Link to comment
dbetz23 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 They should get rid of Baylor and replace with TCU. Also get rid of Iowa St. and put in Colorado St. This is all fantasy but if a change had to be made thats what I would do. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt316 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 they want two more south teams? how does that work? Gotta take one in the North and one in the South if they expand. TCU is fine but I'd much rather steal Iowa and Arkansas. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirtsguru Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 It would be great if we could bounce sCUm to the Pac 10 and take one of these teams in their place! Quote Link to comment
huzkerbob Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 They should get rid of Baylor and replace with TCU. Also get rid of Iowa St. and put in Colorado St. This is all fantasy but if a change had to be made thats what I would do. Ditto on TCU. Baylor should never have made it in to the Big12. As for Colo. St. I just don't think the univ. is big enough, or their teams good enough to hang with a Big12 schedule. I would rather see the conference pilfer Iowa from the Big 11. They have a spare team anyway. If not them, then Utah would be a good pickup. Hell, they should be Nat. Champs in football this year! Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 The SEC has 14 teams don't they? Quote Link to comment
NUpolo8 Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 They're right about the PAC 10 by the way. Get the cinderella darlings like Boise St, BYU and Fresno in a real conference, and that way USC can play some real teams in their conference. Quote Link to comment

Baylor is not good at football but have good histories in basketball (both mens and womens), baseball, track, tennis, soccer and cross country. TCU also has good histories in many sports and would be ok to bring in but people are too quick to judge Baylor solely based on football. For Instance Colorado, who's only main achievement is in skiing where only they compete is a MUCH weaker candidtate than Baylor in the competition categories. Their football program is mediocre, they have a horrible basketball program (nearly as bad as us) and have NO baseball team at all. Quote Link to comment
HuskerTrucker Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Lets Add them, then move OU and OSU to the northern division...then rename the divisions calling them the "Texas Division", and "The Rest of the Universe" division... I would love to get OU in to the North some how, though. Quote Link to comment
hack Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Mentions adding TCU, university of Houston. My big deal with all of this is, it really wouldn't be the Big 12 would it? Wouldn't it be the Big 14? Thank about having to change all of that stationary!!! i say BRING IT! you can then call the north the Big 8 Division and then call the south the South West Division. give put Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in the north and have TCU and Houston go south. and, oh yah, NEBRASKA PLAYS OKLAHOMA LAST GAME IN NOVEMBER AS GOD MEANT IT TO BE. i now yield the floor.
