I had Directv but lost the signal during any rain shower and in Houston that's often.

Update. Although the Big 12 can now have a play-off with only 10 teams, OU president still wants to expand. I guess they will water down some more with Cincinnati and maybe Memphis. I never under stood adding WVA since they were so far away. When the LHN finally dies (ESPN and UT taking a bath on that) maybe there will be some sense in that conference.
No worries. Texas State and Laffy will save them.

Big 12's apparent current pecking order: Cincy, UConn, Houston, UCF, USF, Memphis, Tulane, BYU. Even though UConn seems closer to Iceland.

No ULA...
But kinda surprised Memphis is that low.
Big12 adds all of those, save for UH & UConn, to go to 16.Dave Sittler @DaveSittler Jan 15

AAC backfills with Tech, USM, UAB, Marshall & Rice.
Laffy finally gets its CUSA invite.
How hard do you have to pray for something this meaningless(in the grand scheme of life) to actually happen?
I love it!

Minium: Conference USA needs to expand; JMU, Georgia State are the best candidates http://bit.ly/1naGdyd
Another one without ULA...
I don't think Houston would get in and don't see what Tulane brings to the table, except for academics. My thought is still Cincy, UConn, Memphis, and BYU are the top on the list. If the B12 will abide by what BYU wants, they move to the first spot. The problem with Cincy and UConn is the distance. B12 is really having to reach.Dave Sittler @DaveSittler Jan 15

Tulane brings New Orleans and the gulf coast recruiting area.
Is this good logic? Officials don't want to split scarce resources any further, but since they're going to be low anyway, he thinks we should split them?Officials say they are weary of stealing schools from other leagues and don’t think it’s smart to further split scarce league revenue.
But we learned last week that the revenue pie is already shrinking. Conference USA can expect to lose about half of its $14 million of annual TV revenue when new contracts take effect in July.
I guess he goes on to try to make the case for expanding to reduce travel expenses, and I guess at some point that will out-weigh the splitting of the pie but I'm skeptical that you can save enough no matter who you add.
Was listening to College Sports this morning on SiriusXM and they spent a lot of time talking about the Big 12 and what it does to keep up with the SEC. Apparently last year the SEC Network apparently earned several hundred million. Enough for $30 mil to each school. Crazy money.
The president of Oklahoma is pushing for expansion of the Big 12 and it will be a serious topic at the upcoming conference meeting. Apparently there is a concern in the Big 12 that if they don't expand Oklahoma may move conferences to either the Big 10 or SEC. I think I know everyone has signed away their media rights for something like a decade to the Big 12 so the assumption is that Oklahoma is a big enough plumb that they'd work the money factors out.
So maybe we really are headed for another reshuffling of the conferences.
Do they really, though? Presence in the area, yes, but they have no following. Money cures a lot, I guess. They would not be my pick if I were any team in the B12.
Why pick Tulane when UL-Lafayette is available for the Big XII?
If Tulane got in and started to win like Baylor...it could get interesting. They would always need to rely on bandwagon fans, but south Louisiana has a crap load of those.
