Just an idea, but a DesMoines Register blogger has SMU in a revamped Big 12 South:
Big 12 North
Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State
Memphis (or Missouri, pending the Big Ten’s call)
Cincinnati
Louisville
Big 12 South
Baylor
UTEP
TCU
SMU
Houston
Rice

I realize this is from an Iowa paper, but why is Iowa State automatically included in any proposed conference with the Big 12 leftovers?
They are in a small city in a small state that really only cares about Iowa. Couldn't and shouldn't they be left out of a new league, or at least be further down the list?

Maybe because they are already in the Big 12 today?

Get real. First, TCU is not going to leave the MWC and Rice over Tulsa? Give me a break. This is just stupid.

Would be great for us, but I doubt that's how it goes down.

Sounds legit to me, after all the author is a blogger on the net.

this is a great point. iowa state to me is further down the list then us by a long shot. we have so much for going for us(with the exception as you noted they are already in the big 12). we have better tradition, facilities, and team than they do.

I really doubt that a new Big-XII would start from a clean sheet of paper.

Thats funny.
This alignmentis not going to work and is total made up stuff and agree Rice over Tulsa is wrong, and what WILL happen with Rice anyway if the CUSA were to disband? They are just another small Private school that has a really small fan base that could be so exposed.

Just an idea, but maybe substitute Tulsa for TCU then?

Memphis in the North doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense either
