You're having difficulty here. Your first point is that it's preferred for the school (we can all agree with that) but I read it that personally you like BE "all day." Write more clearly please if you don't mean this.

The stupidity here is the very idea that anyone would ever prefer the AAC over B12 for FB and BE for BB.

So you're saying the post was making a statement that no one would ever ever ever disagree with. Grrrrrrreaaat!
 
I thought he was quite clear with his first sentence. But that's just me. He prefers full Big 12 membership overall but Big 12 for FB and BE for everything else wouldn't' be too bad. You misunderstood his full membership to mean AAC when he meant Big 12 would seem to be what has happened here.

Yes, but they have that Fed Ex money.

Aresco mentions UConn, Memphis and Temple as schools that are concerned about AAC bball.

Not Cincinnati? Hmmmmmmmmmm.

Wasn't he hyping up Louisville about 12 hours before they announced they were ACC bound.

That means absolutely nothing.

Trail (QB) is number 12. It's another sign. #Big12Confirmed

I like the number 12. Both of my children were born on the 12th. No kidding. #PawsUp

The BIG12 needs to change the narrative as soon as possible. Either name the 4 schools or cease & desist on expansion. It's lasted too long!

Tim Brando ‏@TimBrando · 6h6 hours ago
The Houston/Cinn. game a last week a TV matchup for @American_Conf had far too much expansion talk. Not the commentators fault. It's news.

@TimBrando
expansion by B12 is a big mistake.

Tim Brando‏@TimBrando
.@dhoney1726 No it's not! Their methods are the MISTAKE. Dragging this thru the season is a distraction now of epic proportions. Thanks.

@TimBrando
what do you think is the biggest reason the B12 hasn't made a decision on expansion yet?

I don't know and I don't care but 10 months of this is quite enough. Either get the teams ya want or table it. Ruining season.

Only 1 Power 5 conference has a winning non-conference record vs other Power 5 opponents in 2016: the Big Ten, which is 7-3.

Group of 5 should form a coalition as parity is no longer a myth.They are a stronger as a group than as individual Leagues

The USA Today write this am mentioned in his article that now Houston and Cincy might have to worry about watering down their brand given the b12's bad performances this year. We've come full circle.

It's a cute sentiment given how this season has played out thus far but anybody who actually believes this needs to be committed...media is about sensationalism and bombastic statements of opinion not actual journalism when it comes to this process. The trash talk from trashy Houston fans aimed at the Big 12 is just another sign of their complete insecurity. Everybody knows they would fall all over themselves to get into the Big 12 - they are simply playing up a narrative to use when and if they don't get an invite. "We didn't want to get into the Big 12 anyways, we are toooo good!". LMFAO. So predictable.

The narrative will actually be "we didn't get into the Big 12 because they don't want to compete with us," though as posters here will tell you, that's not an unfounded concern.

I miscounted and was off by a year (2011 vs. 2012). If you get your rocks off going around and pointing out rounding errors that's fine, but ignoring that the general sentiment of people's posts doesn't make you a defender of truth, it makes you annoying.
 
New article from Kirk Bohls.

  • It seems clearer and clear that BYU isn’t getting into the Big 12. Just too many negatives for the conference, which knows all about negatives.
  • At this point, I think there’s just as much chance that the Big 12 invites Cincinnati and maybe South Florida to put the league in new TV (and recruiting) markets.

UConn, Cincinnati, USF and Houston works for me if we have to go to 4 in order to secure votes. Probably would work for Fox as well. Destroys the AAC though. That's a lot of new territory and population and exposure to a conference that needs it and stamps the Big 12 firmly into the Eastern time zone. You get the three schools that were "power schools" prior to the dismantling of the Big East and grab Houston as your "hot property" in football and to appease the Texans. Adds the NYC/Hartford region, Tampa, Cincinnati and reinforcing sprawling Houston. Even if there is no Big 12 network (yet) to monetize all the eyeballs - the exposure in these kinds of places can do nothing but help IMO.

I could see that happening. it would leave Uconn as the last former BCS/P5 school relegated to G5 status.
Perfect!

You can go back months and that was my prediction. I never thought BYU would get in. I assumed UH meant they needed 4 teams, so it was UC, UConn, UH and a Florida school. It really makes no sense for the Big 12 not to go all in on the eastern strategy.
