I love it, this is what the new little 12 will look like. Keep it classy there folks…
I have thought about it and I’m more optimistic that we can still create a path to relevancy. The little 8 are living off what OU/UT provided, and while Cincy/UH/UCF think they’re going into a better conference, I think it would have been better to stay at the American and poach the best from the little 8, BYU and MWC, not the other way around. There is no reason why we can’t create a conference that is better than what the new little 12 will look like. Everyone is reactionary but schools need to think strategically.
Let’s bring schools that can draw viewers and create a truly national platform, from coast to coast of the best combination of the remaining schools in our conference and the MWC (plus Rice). We’ll have better ability to capture eyeballs which is what this is about plus we’ll have a profile of schools that are better academically than the new little 12. It’s quite embarrassing that the best academic school out of the little 8 is Baylor.
