Karma: no Big 12 team in top 15 for 1st time since Big 8/SWC merger

The agreement was the BE football would be limited to 8 eight teams. When uconn said it would join. A team had to go. That started the don't renew fire eliniminate one team and that was temple. Temple was dumped period. The bob only schools did not want this football and. History proved them right

I don't think any of this is real.

I think you're making things up as you go along... so if Nova agreed to accept the invitation to add football along w/ UConn in 1997 - two teams would have had to be eliminated going forward - Temple and who? Have a link to the 8 football team maximum agreement claim?

Nova wasn't an original BE member

Yeah okay - so they joined a year later in 19080? Not sure why that's pertinent to the discussion. They (Nova) had the same 12/31/97 deadline to commit to adding football or not.

Wow. Lots of conflicting information in this discussion. Somebody needs to get with wikipedia and write a history of the BE conference so some of the misinformation can be put to rest.

Have you been watching the 2016 Presidential Election or the XII Expansion? Facts have very little relevancy to either.
