Iowa State fans/message board seem the most hostile to any expansion with G5 schools, which is pretty hilarious because Iowa State.I gain new respect for TCU as the only one who gets it right.
I sense a theme with K-State "Bring on the Cats" voting to add Cougars and Bearcats (I assume Memphis Tigers are next in line).
Iowa State, the northernmost school votes for Arizona schools? WTF.
Not that he isn't full of poop, but who is he saying is in?
(Why do I do this to myself)

It's difficult to fathom a scenario where BYU being out is good for us. There is no indication we are team 12 with Cincinnati.
I have never seen a board that mixes "premium" posts with normal ones like that...Here is what he said. "BYU is out, and I mean out of any consideration at all. Not sure the details, however I intend to try and find out.". On a positive note for Cinci people on that board, almost all of them really want us to come with them to the Big 12. Gotta give them props for that.
I like Cincy and their fans. They're not the rival that Syracuse was, but it was a bit of a comfort when we looked around at our nuked landscape and saw a friendly face in the wasteland.Here is what he said.

Disagree - having BYU as a candidate increases the likelihood they go to 14 due to lack of consensus on who the second team with UC would be. If BYU were out, that would increase the chances others would cave in on UH and call it a day. Even if they did not cave in on UH, there still would exist the chance we get passed over by UCF or Memphis as 12. Less likely than UH, but possible. Going to 14 is obviously our biggest chance of getting in, and it seems 14 is more likely when there is more disagreement on who team #12 is. No BYU would mean far less ability to disagree on team 12.I can't fathom any situation where it isn't good for us, unless it means Cinci and Houston rather than Cinci and BYU. I'm still disinclined to believe that the non Texas B12 schools will take Houston except as part of a group of 4. Yet I did believe that they could do BYU and Cinci.

BYU brought a national sports brand and P5 ready budget. There is only one other school under consideration that does.It's difficult to fathom a scenario where BYU being out is good for us. There is no indication we are team 12 with Cincinnati.
The second half of your post assumes that the B12 schools actually believe that about us. There is ample evidence to suggest that they do not believe that is the case with us. Whether their belief is right or wrong is irrelevant.BYU brought a national sports brand and P5 ready budget. There is only one other school under consideration that does.

There's a lot of irony in the fact that many of the same posters seem to tout our national brand while complaining about our perception in the national media.
The're tired of being the butt of all the stupid Aggie /Oakie jokesLol Oklahoma State wants to drop a nuke on their conference.
That perception applies to football.
If BYU is out, and in this politically correct era I don't see how they can be in, I still say UCONN is in at 12. Houston has too much push back from member schools, and Memphis has issues......Cincinnati and UCONN are legit P5 day one adds. Bearcat fans think we have a pretty good shot at inclusion, but given the way the BIG12 does business they may just call the whole thing off.I can't fathom any situation where it isn't good for us, unless it means Cinci and Houston rather than Cinci and BYU.

Reading the tea leaves, UH has more support than I think we all want to accept.If BYU is out, and in this politically correct era I don't see how they can be in, I still say UCONN is in at 12.

Aren't Texas and OU supposed to be diametrically opposed?
Isn't Oklahoma State supposed to follow OU's lead and Texas Tech is supposed to do what Texas tells it to do?
Didn't Flug tell us TCU was pro-BYU?
Didn't the dude tell us WVU was anti-Cincy?
Wasn't every school except Texas, TCU and Texas Tech pro-expansion?
Isn't it's interesting how supposedly sycophantic fans who one might expect to echo their chosen school's imagined stance vary so greatly from the proffered narrative?
More evidence nobody knows nothing.
