Conference Expansion - Big 12 is a tire fire

INCORRECT: http://www.uc.edu/ucomm/brand.htmlSo that cinci sheet has been disproved. That isn't their university logo. Cincinatti is lower case in the official log.
Interesting. That is a recent change then. All google image search results point to the lower case version
I think Bohn had a hand in a $750,000 rebranding to use all caps....
Colleges are doing a lot of rebranding these days...its understandable.
Too rapey for the Big XII. Hahahahahahaaha. Just kidding.
With the B10 supposedly going with a short term deal this time around for their TV rights, it kind of feels like the revenue maximizing model would be poach six schools or so from the B12 and distribute them in some way across the B10 and P12, and work out a cross scheduling agreement to collectively bargain the TV rights to both leagues as a package.
I lol'd
If you were a member of the B12 not named Texas or Oklahoma, where would you go? Those are the only two schools in that conference that anybody would want. Maybe Kansas due to their hoops program. Otherwise, it's a bunch of junk.

Surely the SEC is done unless we go insane with 16 team leagues. Even then, the SEC would be wise to include middle powers. Any additions of powerhouses would be too much and I'm not sure members would like it.

Tcu sucks, small school, smallish stadium, DFW does not have much support for them. What do they bring really? Patterson will be done in 5 years and product on the field will tank.

At the moment, sure. Florida, LSU, Auburn, Tennesse, Georgia are all capable of returning to that along with a very capable Texas A&M and others who will be having their various runs of success. I'm not sure there's much appetite to throw OU into that mix, especially in the SEC West.

Big 12 presidents decide to pass on expansion
GRAPEVINE, Texas (AP) The leaders of the Big 12 decided the conference was just fine the way it is. Ten is enough.
Expansion is off the agenda.
"This was not a decision to not expand," Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. "This was an endorsement and reinvestment in the 10 that we had."

Big XII'd: a verb, q.v. dicked around. To have been used as leverage inadvertently especially by those too incompetent to recognize what was really going on.
According to ESecPN and a lot of the voters they are all powerhouses. There are still a number of SEC teams in the rankings who have been marginal or less the past few weeks.

i kick myself that i didn't think of that handle like 10 years ago.
nice.

Radio comment this afternoon (not sure if it was a quote, off twittersphere, or what):
"Schools lined up for a chance to get into the B12 is like a bunch of people lined up to get into a burning building."
