Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 9:58 amDo we have a choice in the matter? If we had all three options in a perfect world, I'd say go for the Big XII. It may be dysfunctional, but I think the regional rivalries would be great for our program.

Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 10:13 ammy vote would be for the big12. be like getting most of the band back together.
i think we'd be more successful in the big east, especially if tcu stays. would be nice to have an easy W on the schedule...

Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 10:24 amwe have a serious issue now with TCU going to the Big12 without us. The urgency level just tripled and it was already urgent.

They were going without us. A SEC mention and a Big East mention inflated your expectations.

Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2011 10:53 amAssuming the BE maintains its AQ status (which admittedly is a big concern), I prefer the BE. While I love the regional rivalries in the Big12, the Big12 will always continue to be a the whim of 2 teams. If the BE adds a few teams, they can stabilize.
I dont see as Big of an attendance issue with the BE as some. Certainly we couldn't expect a huge following of BE fans in Ford, but our prospects of being consistently ranked with a very strong W-L record are much higher in the BE as is are our chances of going to a BCS game. When these things start to occur, we will have very strong attendance with our own fans.
