corncraze Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Iv heard Utah and TCU would be our top targets, and BYU and Boise St. also as possiblities. Thoughts? Personally I hope that we bring in two southern schools so that both Oklahoma schools move to the North and we can play OU every year again haha Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I think it will be the South Dakota State Jackrabbits and Colorado State Rams. We have to keep the ongoing thought that the Big 12 North sucks... with the exception of Nebraska. Quote Link to comment
husker B-rent Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 if it were to happen and i still very very much doubt it, i would think it would be Utah and dont bite my head off but i would love to see UNO join.... Quote Link to comment
default_28 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 I think that TCU would be high on the list, but then we would probably have to choose between Tulsa, Houston, Wyoming, or Air Force I doubt that Utah would join the Big XII over the Pac 10, and I think they'd definitely be offered a spot in that league This is probably a stupid thought, but I would prefer we went after a smaller school that has a commitment to athletics and would actually put some money towards their programs instead of trying to add a Wyoming or Air Force A school like Northern Iowa, in the long run, would field more competitive teams in more sports like men's bb or volleyball than any of the other regional CUSA or Mountain West Schools Quote Link to comment
Chucktown Husker Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 TCU sounds fine to me. How about Houston so we can play OU every year? They could hang offensively with the other schools, but defense isn't always a priority. 1 Quote Link to comment
husker B-rent Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 NOT 2 TEXAS SCHOOLS. the conference is already all about texas as it is. Quote Link to comment
Chucktown Husker Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 NOT 2 TEXAS SCHOOLS. the conference is already all about texas as it is. Good point. I was trying to avoid adding a crappy team like CSU in hopes of boosting up the north some with the oklahoma teams. But I would take the wins. Quote Link to comment

How about CSU and Iowa? I was born and spent half my childhood in the hawkeye state. Kind of partial to them and I like to root for them in the little 11. I think it would be a competitive game each year, but seriously doubt they would move. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Iowa joining the Big 12? Isn't the Big Ten trying to expand? Not swap teams? Im pretty sure the Big 12 wants to stay away from adding two new Texas teams to the conference. I would like to see OU return to the north, and let OSU come in as well. But i just don't see it happening without adding another Texas team to that. If we lose either CU or MU, i think what is really going to happen. OSU comes to the north, and the TCu is added as another Texas southern conference team. I don't think the Big 12 will move OU back to the north, there is too much money and publicity with the Red River rivalry between Texas and OU, unfortunately. Honestly i would rather see MU and CU stay in the Big 12 than leave and having a whole readjustment to the conference if we lose both teams. Quote Link to comment

That seems like the best option without causing a lot of chaos. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 You know if they want to add two more Texas schools, we might as well split back up into two conferences again. The Big Six and the Texas Conference. Big Six: Nebraska Kansas Kansas State Iowa State Oklahoma Oklahoma State Texas Conference: Texas Texas Tech Texas A&M Baylor TCU Houston Quote Link to comment
Chucktown Husker Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) You know if they want to add two more Texas schools, we might as well split back up into two conferences again. The Big Six and the Texas Conference. Big Six: Nebraska Kansas Kansas State Iowa State Oklahoma Oklahoma State Texas Conference: Texas Texas Tech Texas A&M Baylor TCU Houston Might as well add SMU and Rice to the Texas conference since that usually is the horns non-conference schedule. Just remembered UTEP also. Edited March 4, 2010 by Chucktown Husker Quote Link to comment
HUSKER 37 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Denver Broncos and the Kansas City Chiefs would make nice replacements. Oh.. You were being serious? Quote Link to comment
