Did make me laugh...
The Big 12 already made a long term decision, based on short term results by adding TCU. I hope they do not make that mistake again. TCU is a private school with a limited fan base, that is one bad coaching hire away from being a disaster P5 addition. Does anyone believe Herman is going to stay at Houston, when someone like LSU comes calling?
How the heck does UH check a lot of boxes compared to UConn/BYU in terms of athletics??Besides their mothers... where the hell do these people come from?

@Big12Conference Has BYU in football only, UConn in everything but football, and UH in everything been considered? Checks a lot of boxes.
You go Bob:

Remember when @UConnMBB went from last in the Big East to 7 conference titles? @Big12Expansion is an opportunity for even greater success.

Since 1999, no other men's bball team has won more Div 1 titles than @UConn (4). Wouldn't that be a nice addition to the @Big12Conference

In less than 10 years, @UConnFootball went from Division I-AA to the Fiesta Bowl. @Big12Expansion is a platform to even bigger achievement.

It's been discussed a bit on the LT board.
It's a crazy scenario for sure. Allow BYU football and UConn everything else to compete in the conference. Giving both the option of full membership at a later date if the "sunday play" issues is addressed and to give UConn time to continue to build the FB program up. Let Uconn take the FB games on BYU's schedule.
Cinci would be pissed, that's for sure.

In a great many instances, old and rich is synonymous with conservative and selfish, which makes one very wary of change unless they can very clearly foresee the benefit to their personal interests. It makes sense too. In there mind, why fix something that ain't broke? In their case, make alterations to a situation in which they were very successful and influential.TCU was one of the strangest picks ever. To their credit, they have been quite competitive and have represented the conference well. But even up until a week or so before they were announced, influential Big 12 characters like T Boone Pickens and DeLoss Dodds were saying they added absolutely nothing to the conference. It just goes to show how impossible it is to predict what will happen.

We hear there's a "Big" meeting happening today. We're with you, @UCFKnights! #ChargeOnto the @Big12Conference.
ehhhhOk, I was wrong. The opinion of an airport is possibly worth even less than the speculative tweet of a WV basement dweller.
ehhhh
I mean, it's an inanimate object. Come on.

Worth noting that the rumors are that the Big 12 wants details about airports, and having a nearby airport actively supporting your inclusion could help. Might mean trying to get direct flights to B12 cities, etc.
