    Can't see the Big 12 taking Memphis. Probably not Cincy either.

    Here we go again. Two openings in the AAC a possibility. Marshall and someone else, it would seem, would be the logical choices to backfill to the AAC. Maybe Rice, USM, Tech. Then again, this may be bluster. Musical chairs are still a possibility.

    I could see Cincy, if only to give West Virginia a travel partner. Honestly, BYU and Houston would be the best bets.

    BYU would already be in the Big12 if both sides could make it work.

    Sports on Sunday is the deal-breaker, they say.

    That would be an easy fix - let them and their travel partner play on Saturday or Monday. Schedule conference tourneys to end on Saturday. They shouldn't be a problem. They currently play their baseball series on Th/Fr/Sat

    Seems simple enough right? But they tried to make in work in 2010 and eventually gave up.

    Maybe this time will be different.

    Texas has already made it known that they do not want another school from Texas in the conference so that would rule Houston out.

    South - UT, TTU, Baylor, TCU, OU, Memphis

    North - KU, KSU, ISU, OSU, WVU, Cincy


    (Yes - I split up OU and OSU on purpose.)

    East: WVU, Cincinnati, Memphis, ISU, KU, K-state

    West: UT, BU, TTU, TCU, OU, OSU

    Make a little more sense IMHO.

    This isn't going to happen but I'll play. They would go west to add Boise and and take Cincy over Memphis State.

    Quadrants! UT-TT-BU, TCU-OU-OSU, KU-KSU-ISU, WV-UM-UC

    Play your quadrant, the one you are division with, and one other. Last game set either with permanent rivalry or by historical performance to maximize SOS.

    The Big 12 is not going to expand. Unless you've lived on Mars for the last 20 years, you should understand why Ohio State was picked over Baylor and TCU. And, Ohio State did not even need to run the score up on Wisconsin to get the bid, a 1-point win would have been enough.

    True. Would look like SEC. Basketball would be better in the east. Heck. Why not do it that way. Would help ensure strength of schedule for football in the division where football matters more, and same for basketball. Hmm...
