Message: [QUOTE="Rocktheworld, post: 4652869, member: 5037"] Our brand power has nothing to do with our conference mates. Our recruiting will take a down turn if we were to move to the big 12, which hurts basketball, our real brand. I have nothing to feel but skepticism regarding football until winning becomes consistent, and there’s absolutely no reason to believe that we are anything but a dreg in the Big 12, which would hurt us further. Being an 8-win independent when the decisions are made would be much more acceptable. The literal only reason to move to the big 12 is money, which will be very short term; with Texas and Oklahoma leaving, that conference is screwed. So we will be back where we were in the AAC. Best to just continue success in basketball in the region and conference that best supports it, and let Mora do what he can with football. That’s what will make us most appealing. [/QUOTE]
