Big 12 expansion vote in summer?

[Bamm Bamm Rubble]

The Big 12 has enough Texas schools, but Houston is a great fit for The ACC if they ever go west. The Big 12 needs to leave tornado alley and stop being Texas centric. Adding two schools from California and two schools from Florida may fix that. Tulane, CINN, Memphis are all great fits and can hold their own.

People continue to forget this;

That safeguard is not really there anymore...and the state of Oklahoma will not let its ONLY two P5 players separate...period. I would guess the state of Kansas will do the same.

From the article I posted above:

COULD OU AND OSU EVENTUALLY SPLIT UP?

Yes. It’s not likely but certainly possible. Boren and OSU president Burns Hargis stood together in 2010 and would attempt to again. Politically, it would be difficult for OU to move on if there was not a good option for OSU. But if both landed in elite conferences, there would be little pressure from the statehouse to stick together.

DOES OU WANT TO SPLIT FROM OSU?

Oh, some school officials do, but Boren does not. And he’s the one who matters.




I would imagine the same would hold true for Kansas and K-State, but I don't know if that's true or not.

Can Tulane hold its own in any sport?
