Yes another thread on expansion. I’ve read enough “sippin” threads that have nothing to do with WVU sports on here.
Since the Big 12 can no longer trust Oklahoma and Texas…
And, since Texas A&M and Missouri can no longer trust the SEC…
Further, since Texas A&M, Nebraska, Missouri and Colorado left the Big 12 because of Texas and not feeling as though they had a voice in the room and were overshadowed by Texas…
The Big 12 should trade Texas and Oklahoma for Texas A&M and Missouri, and then invite Nebraska and Colorado back.
- What’s in it for those schools? Texas A&M and Nebraska become the two biggest brands in the conference, something they have not had recently, if ever.
- With expansion of the playoffs giving the top 6 conference champs an automatic bid to the playoffs, it opens up the field for Nebraska to try to reinvigorate its program and become a player on the national scene.
- It puts Colorado and Nebraska back into Texas via B12 membership for their traditional recruiting grounds.
- Missouri would have a better shot of being competitive in the B12 and could resume its rivalry with Kansas.
- Adding those 4 increases the footprint of the conference and adds 2 big tv markets to the conference.
- It puts Colorado back in a more TV friendly conference time zone.
- None of them have to deal with Texas or Oklahoma.
