Louisville use to be good. If they could get back to that level then who knows. I think Boise State is a better add then Louisville though. Louisville isn't close to the Big12, they would be odd team out
Post fail... Cannot see pics. Just list them.
North = BYU, Air Force, Louisville, Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State
South = Texas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor

Per something I read on ESPN this morning, Air Force ain't happening. The AD likes the money but he also knows he can't compete and has already told the Big 12 no.
Any chance they'd split up a little differently? Like East West maybe? Okie in the east, Tejas in the West? Vice versa?

Whaa.....????
Maybe you should take some lessons in geography.
And Louisville is a MUCH better add than BSU....it really isn't close. Louisville at least generates money in their basketball program. BSU doesn't make the conference any money anywhere. And Louisville has the chance to improve in football. BSU doesn't add anything in terms of money, all they do is split the pie further.
Not sure what you're thinking here pal......but there are a lot of reasons why NOBODY has pursued BSU.
Louisville is in Kentucky which touches Missouri a little bit but is mostly far East of the Big12. Louisville will be the only team east of the Mississippi River.
BSU would make the conference a little bit of money but at least they are a WESTERN team and are West of the Mississippi river. Yeah, I know they are far away but still kind of in your region. Louisville is in B1G/SEC Country.
I still don't think Memphis is a bad get, either. Football attendance is terrible right now, and apparently the city is pretty trashy, but Fred Smith is willing to put money into the conference to make up for what Memphis doesn't immediately provide. And again they bring some prestige to basketball and take a little travel stress off of Louisville and Mizzou, assuming the Big 12 can keep Mizzou.
But I think you have to make sure you don't split north-south.
