Ya'll be easy on my falcons. Word has it, usafa was the only school the Big12 actively seeked out and asked to apply for membership, since originally Air Force didn't apply. There's definite interest, although I think is happy right where they're at.

None of us would ever Dis the USAFA. Just don't think they'd really want to be in for all sports. Football, yeah maybe. Same problem Navy has really.

Memphis has the most obnoxious Twitter fans. So glad that community college is done.

So to me it looks like they are contemplating:
Eastern expansion: UCF, USF, Cincinnati, UConn
Western expansion: , BYU, CSU and Houston
Texas expansion: Rice, SMU, Houston and Tulane (short travel from Austin)
I'm sure there are hybrid such as dropping one of the FLA schools for Houston, or both for Houston and BYU.

We may not get in. I get it. I just couldn't imagine them getting in over us. They're twitter fans were obnoxious about them getting in over us. Bowlby....bye bye bye.

Memphis doesn't have to be on any "list" when they have a front row seat with FedEx next to Bowlsby and the rest of the Big 12. #Justsaying
TigerBronco @jay_256 7m 7 minutes ago
Until David Rudd personally says Memphis is no longer a candidate for the Big 12, then it's all BS. @ESPN is pissed at Memphis so TIFWIW.

Unless Rudd says it's not happening, we're in already.

I know y'all want to doubt the ESPN report, but it's accurate. Memphis is out. Period. Over.
Big 12 expansion snub is devastating news, but Memphis must carry on
So much sodium chloride!

Even though I think SMU and Rice made the cut strictly for political reasons and have no chance, it still is devastating for Memphis to be out of the running and not in the top 11.
The runner ups this time at least separate themselves from the bunch as being 'best of the rest', which Tigers won't be able to say.

TigerBronco's tweets are actually legitimately sad to read, he's in full meltdown mode.

It's all UConn's fault:

I am not believing another story in this saga until I see a press conference, official release, or reputible article with on-record sources.
Michael S. Aviotti @MichaelAviotti 1h1 hour ago
@TOM_III_Guy a lot of it comes from Uconn tweets. They are trying to deflect attention for their lousy outing last night. Embarrasing

Sports - Hartford Courant @C_Austin_Cox @TOM_III_Guy read the 1st 3-4 paragraphs. Says it all. Angst And Anxiety Fill UConn Fans' Hearts In Sloppy First Win
Cox is already in spin mode... so much for for that Cincy/UM partnership.

Lol to be snubbed of something means you actually had to have a case. Memphis wasn't snubbed of anything

There might be 11 schools on the list. If big 12 wants Rice and Tulane great. It's best Uconn isn't in the running.
Memphis wasn't dropped because 11 schools are better, they were dropped because they were the easy out.
Some schools still on the list have no reason. Except from a political or maybe strategic angle. Memphis doesn't have that angle.
Am surprised CSU is still there. I think that says 4 may be on the table. No way they are one of two. unless they are looking at a western only play. And if that happens, tha AAC is intact.
