It's also another step to an eventual conference network.

YOUR AD HERE]‏ @thetimsmith[/USER] [URL='https://twitter.com/thetimsmith/status/1121077018639175680']4h4 hours ago[/URL] So your hypothesis is that other conferences are building networks. Big 12 will follow suit. I’m a big fan of some Florida schools getting in the big 12 as it would bring my favorite football team down here once a year (or more with a good bowl game).

Knights have to keep on winning and making a splash. USF might have a longer shot. It depends on who the partner with ESPN is for the TV contract. [USER=14559854][SPACE FOR SALE.

I’d love to see JMU find its way into the Big 12 but I know I’m dreaming.

ESPN is locking down rights long-term.

Selling point for Fl recruits to get to play in front of family every year.

WVU wouldn't leave until the Big 12 had a replacement lined up. Just like the SEC and Missouri didn't pull the trigger until the Big 12 had WVU on deck. Likely no buyout.

Obviously the Pac 12 has time to cure their ills but the trending just gets better & better for the Big 12. [/QUOTE]
