Been chatted about for several days on Satellite College Sports Channel. Would not surprise me to see this eventually happen. Four 16 team conferences with 8 divisions. Don't like it, but it is absolutely inevitable. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

So then what happens to the 49th team and those above 49 when it comes to the BCS? That would depend on their record and resume on who they played. The BCS doesn't exist anymore, which would open some chances for teams that wouldn't be considered with the was the BCS was.

SEC gets OU and Oklahoma state
PAC gets Texas, Texas Tech, TCU, Baylor
ACC gets Kansas and KSU
BIG gets Iowa St. WV.

And before anyone says it, no.
No big12 current team will be left out of any power conference. Not going to happen.

I do believe when the SWC broke up, UH, Rice, TCU, and SMU were all saying that there was no way any SWC school gets left out of a Major Conference. AND Every one of those schools had more SWC titles than TTU

Stadium size was one of them... but most of all it was the will of the powers to try and keep a P5 school OUT of Houston and Dallas/ft. Worth for fear they would hurt Texas and OU recruiting..... TCU comes along, and it has proven to be the case. TTU has more ties to the Pac12 historically than any other team in the big12. Geographically it also makes sense, and money saved helps the cause. Of the listed Texas teams, TTU still has the second biggest stadium next too Texas right now.

The money is there and it will happen.
2nd place will also make it and that will really be hated just like it is in the NFL.

Well the other P5's have to understand.... its either going to be A) assume all the Big12 teams into a P4....
Or B) add more teams to the Big12, which is good for no one.

Maybe the big 12 should understand that the other P5's may not care all that much what happens to them...other than maybe OU and Texas. The other schools offer little value. Or are you suggesting that realignment is no longer all about the $$$.

Texas went from a team I didn't give 2 shits about to a team I don't give 2 shits about but grateful for their all of the selfish, play by our rules or else, approach the last few years. Watching this thing called the Big 12 crumble right in front of us is a thing of beauty.
I do appreciate this abstract Art.

Talks on RRS.com by staff are that The big12 "will" expand to "at least 12" by 2017"......
Cinncinatti seems to be the #11 front runner.... with everyone from "BYU, Memphis, USF, Houston, UCF" etc as the #12.
Although one staffer is asking the chances that the Big12 could go "bat nuts crazy" and Go after the big10 teams of "Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, and Purdue" as a 4 pack to make a "CMBB powerhouse".
chances?

IF they took those four Big Ten teams it would immediately make the Big Ten a tougher conference and weaken the Big 12. One team that is good 20% of the time and 3 that suck outright 99.5% of the time.

The only people willing to enter the Big 12-2-2+1+1 are UH and maybe Rice. No one else will touch it until someone gets the Balls to tell UTex to FUCK OFF. I think the Oklahome schools will leave before any one else in that conference gets of the BEVO dick.
