Message: [QUOTE="BKarchitect, post: 1796891, member: 7320"] Don't sleep on CSU and Air Force. If the Big 12 thought it was fine to go west to Utah - then Colorado makes even more sense. It's contiguous, there's a lot of Big 12 alumni there and it's a populous and one of the fastest growing states in the nation. I used to be more bullish on CSU - state land grant school that is rapidly growing, 30,000+ enrollment, excellent R&D metrics for the presidents and beautiful new stadium on the way. But I'm warming up to the AFA too. They support their football team, have a national fan base to draw from, are ranked 55th in the Leerfield Cup (UConn is 57...BYU is 30, those are the top 3 among candidate schools) and would add pomp and prestige and great academics out the wazoo. If you ask me whom I'd rather the University of Kansas share a conference with - Central Florida or the United State Air Force Academy...it is a complete no-brainer. Speaking as a Big 8/12 fan, I'd WAY rather have one of the Colorado schools than one of the Florida schools although I understand if most of you disagree. [/QUOTE]
