That is very interesting. I was also thinking of letting Baylor go and taking 2 new teams. Not another one from texas though.How about Utah?
So the new B12 would beArkansas would be a nice pick up.
Personally I'd like to see Iowa State get the boot and replace them with Iowa, Utah or Arkansas. Iowa State would be a much better fit for the Big 10+1 than the Big 12 because ISU, even at their best during the McCarney years, were mediocre at best.Arkansas would be a nice pick up.
Well Utah is a bit out of the physical area of influence of the Big XII, but I don't really see any other logical fits. Iowa wouldn't leave the Big X. I really like TCU, but our North South Division structure makes that tough. Utah is a good program, and would broaden the Big XII base. Heck they could have a shot to win the MNC now. Also it would elevate Big XII exposure out West and maybe help NU and others recruit CA even better.So the new B12 would beArkansas would be a nice pick up.

:dunno Utah just looks a little out of place there.
OK, good argument. I vote for this B12. Now who do we call to get this done.Well Utah is a bit out of the physical area of influence of the Big XII, but I don't really see any other logical fits.

How would adding Utah help NU recruit California? Salt Lake city is FAR from a coastal community. The fact that the Utes recruit well there wouldn't effect other conference teams at all. Besides last I checked NU was recruiting CA just fine, so screw the rest of the conference, those teams are on their own!OK, good argument. I vote for this B12.

Because the Big XII would get more television coverage out there and hence more exposure for Big XII teams for players out West.How would adding Utah help NU recruit California?

The best conference realignment would drop dead weight ISU, move OU to the north, and add TCU to the south, where they should have been when the Big 12 started.
