Cincinnati, USF, and UConn.
I fear the B12 is gonna sit on its thumb too long and those three will be the teams we end up getting to join.
Honestly though, at this point, I would take them. It isn't that they are even in my top 15 choices for expansion, but to have some time zone friendly conference games would be nice. Not a reason to expand, I know.
Bring in Cincy, UConn, USF and oh, I don't know................... I guess UCF too so USF would have a travel partner, and call it a day. Like the B10, SEC and ACC, we would have 14 teams.
I am just really tired of expansion crap. It was fun for a while, but the drag-it-out style that conferences use to grow has worn me down. Just take who you are going to take and get it over with.
Screw FSU, Clemson, and all the rest of the ACC teams.
Let the B10 take UVA, UNC, GT & Duke.
Let the SEC take VT & NC State.
Then let FSU and Clemson rot with the rest of the ACC leftovers.
Reward the teams the ACC left to die in the Big East, Cincy, UConn, USF and UCF, by bringing them into the B12. Not sexy choices at all, but they would appreciate being given a life line. They also bring in 4 top 35 TV markets. It helps the Big 12 & WVU's exposure in Florida for recruiting. And Cincy and UConn are quality basketball programs to add to an overall average basketball league.
I am certain no one will agree with me, and tomorrow I will probably wonder what I was thinking by posting this, but I just want all this crap over with.
