Without expansion, the Big 12 is one school defection from implosion. but hey I hear everyone who keeps saying "no one else is worthy of membership."
Wouldn't Kansas City be the best location? That's where the basketball tournament is. After thinking about it no need for divisions just take two best conference records and call it a day. If there is any kind of tie just use committee rankings to determine teams.
you can't hence why I said no divisions needed.How could you even have divisions with a round robin 10 team league ?
You can't...

There is very little money from making the playoff. 6 million dollars for playing in the playoff. Not a windfall. 2 million more that we got for TCU playing in the Peach last year.It will be very interesting to see how the $$ PER TEAM works out this year with the Big 12 represented in the 4-team playoff. It could be a wake-up call to the other (diluted) Power 5 conferences if we end up ahead of them. I really think we might.
If that happens (and happens consistently for a few years) we would be able to attract 2 teams from existing power 5 schools that bring a lot to the table. How about if we pick up Nebraska and Penn State while the Big ten decides whether they want to take Memphis and Cincinnati to replace them. Crazy? Maybe, but money talks.
Lgm!
I'm with ya... ...people need to understand expansion would be an investment and shouldn't expect increased revenue instantly. Everybody says we should consider it when our GOR is up... ...but that's exactly when we may lose a team or two.
Invest now... ...not when you need the results from the investment tomorrow.
With or without expansion, the round robin is probably going away.
No it isn't. That was THE condition that allowed us to play a conference championship game with less than 12 members.
Im for expansion but i don't think there is any teams out there right now worth going after.
The round robin CCG rematch game is acceptable short term. At least with a round robin schedule, everybody plays against everybody and this Mountaineer fan(me) enjoys the UT oSu and OU games. I do not want those games to go away. But i also realize its not a sustainable situation(not the NJ kid from Jersey shore) long term.
What two teams are there for the Big XII?
Cincinnati, UCONN, BYU, Memphis, none of these teams I've seen mentioned at various times on this message board would be just adding warm bodies to get to 12 members. IMO not worth going to a 12 member conference with just barely above mid-major team(s).
