The two obvious candidates would be the Cincinnati Bearcats and the UCF Knights. Cincinnati provides a travel partner and a old rivalry for West Virginia. UCF, meanwhile, is an burgeoning program that would allow the Big 12 to get into the talent-rich state of Florida for recruiting purposes.
Bowlsby’s inclination to look at teams on the western half of the United State would exclude the BYU Cougars and Boise State Broncos, both of which would be strong candidates as football programs.
