The Big 12 needs to find another school to add. That way, they could have a championship game. They are missing out on money and a fair share in the BCS.

With 10 members, the Big 12 remains as the only major conference in the nation to determine its champions in all sports directly on the field of play with a full round-robin schedule.

What is funny, on that page The Big 12 claims five Heisman winners, one of those five was Eric Crouch. You know, from the team that Dan Nero Beebe gave the ultimatum too?

I miss PAC 10 round robin with no CCG.

I get it though. Plus the CCGs being played in these awesome NFL stadiums is pretty neat.

What's funny is that when the PAC was determining it's champion this way, everyone including plenty of B12 members said get with the times etc etc etc...

And a note to the OP, for you to say that this is needed for the Big12 to have a "Fair share" in the BCS (I assume you mean playoffs) is a ridiculous comment. We all know they have just as much of a chance as anyone else not in the SEC

They need to add 2 creampuff schools so they can go back to 8 conference games, and stop beating each other up.

SMU has wanted in a P5 conference for quite awhile. BYU would be a good one. Notre dame isnt joining anyone until they are forced.

BSU, Colorado State, Utah State. There are options but last I read the B12 is done with expanding for awhile. Theres no interest as far as I know.

Boise - No
BYU - Makes Sense almost 28K students
South Florida - good sense almost 47K students
Central Florida - Really good sense almost 60K students
Cincinnati - Makes sense 44K Students

I'd go ahead and go to 14.

2 years ago I thought Louisville and Cincinnati were good picks.
BYU would be great.

Big XII needs more private religious schools to keep it nationally relevant. OU and Texas are scrubs.

Won't happen. If anything we'll see the Big XII dissolve. Where the schools end up is anyone's guess but only three really offer an elite program, OU and Texas in football and KU in basketball.

Oklahoma has 4 Tex has 1 Heisman, if they claimed Crouch that would make 6.
