BYU wants in Big12

[WhiteMamba]

Says BYU HC Bronco Mendenhall.

I would love to see that happen, and while we are at it add Boise.

Seems like I remember the big 12 commish stating he is happy with 10.

I think that would be a good move for both parties

They seem like a great fit to me as well.

I forgot what happened to the Cincy to big 12 movement.

That would be great also.

Any combo of BYU, Cincy, and Boise with BYU making the most sense.

I can't see Boise taking that step and playing Oklahoma, Texas, Ok St every year. But I think it would be a good move if they did.

BYU makes the most sense.

 

[WhiteMamba]

I bet Boise would be gone to the big 12 if it were offered before the ink was dried.

 

[ChicagoIrish]

It would be a money maker for them for sure.

They'd have to add on to that stadium though. Can't be hosting the likes of OU and Texas in a stadium that holds 30k people

 

[WhiteMamba]

Very true.

I would rather see UCF receive an invite before either BYU or BSU. The only way I would want BYU added is if the Big 12 drops either TCU or Baylor. No need to add another private school, although BYU would be a better addition than both TCU and Baylor; stronger fan base, better stadium (enough with the 45K seat high school stadiums) and decent all around athletic program.

One of the supposed problems with BYU is that they won't play on Sunday, but that really isn't a problem. The only sport that is affected is baseball, but I noticed this past season that Texas played some series that didn't have games on Sunday.
Boise State is not a good fit for the Big 12, Cincinnati or UCF would be better.
I don't see the Big 12 adding any teams to get to 12, at least until a Big 12 team get screwed out of the playoffs, because they don't have a CCG.

The BIG 12 is going to Florida first.


It has no real desire to expand to the mountain states.
Colorado was already a pain in the ass and bled money from the league.


They really wanted the Florida State thing to heat up as a first choice.
But, that was more of wishful thinking and a long shot.


But, now I can see them grabbing UCF and maybe another Florida school


Plant the flag in both TEXAS/FLORIDA.

If Boise was offered, they would be there is a heartbeat and the 38,000 seat stadium would be expanded and full for Big 12 games. I don't see it happening though. One can dream.

I'd like to see BYU and Cincinnati added, and then the two divisions being East-West......not North-South. The two Oklahoma schools being split into different divisions in order to help balance things.

WEST
Baylor
BYU
Oklahoma
TCU
Texas
Texas Tech

EAST
Cincinnati
Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State
Oklahoma State
West Virginia

We make a solid living right now. No need to add and cut the pie more. Stay at 10.

Totally agree, plus, I dig the round robin format.......

With Chris Peterson gone, Boise could be in for its downfall. Truthfully with him gone, I would not extend an offer to Boise. Also, I would make the offer with the stipulation they pull up the Smurf Turf, something I am not sure Boise would do.

 

[Berkeley_Blues]

Screw the Big 12...well, maybe send them BYU because there's plenty flat, open space to pedal their bicycles and shit.

 

[yeodonie]

B12 would be dumb to go more than 10. Wish the P10 still existed. Only way to crown a true conference champ.

Don't do it B12!!

With expanded TV markets and the CCG revenue, the payout per school would remain the same and might increase.

Catch up, the stadium is nearly 40 k, with more planned. Big 12 money would help get that finished.

 

[GoldRusher]

Big12 could pull a BigEast and drop WVU like the BE dropped Temple then add BYU
