Big XII Expansion

Takeaway from the Big 12 Pres meeting today is that expansion is likely. At least by two schools. And possibly four.

Maybe IΓÇÖm not quite interpreting this right, but Boren is making it sound like the Big 12 is literally $oliciting bid$.

That's because the Bevo10 just crapped its pants over this:

This is huge news for SMU.

Because we don't need an IPF to play Division III football and thus get to save a ton of dough?

Assuming the reports are correct and the ACC (including Notre Dame) are now committed through 2036, maybe SMU can sneak (or buy our way) into the Big XII. But I sorta agree with you that the likely outcome is some near-worst-case scenario of Houston, Memphis, Cincy and maybe a Florida AAC school going to the Big XII.

Otherwise, well, the PAC 12 revenue is woefully low versus expectations, so there may still be a shot there somehow. They don't have many options to add.

Lol. And we're not getting new turf. It's just stage1 of turning ford into an equestrian stable.

When June Jones quit on SMU in 2011, that was the end of our P5 hopes.
