Big 12 to not add any new teams for now

You are seriously delusional if you think TBU is going to end up in the SEC.Tequilla said:The Big 12 is fine in its current state as long as Texas and Oklahoma are making comparable money to the major schools in the other P5 conferences. When they don't, that's when you will see everything go tits up.
The assumption that it's an automatic that it will be the Okie schools + Texas + Texas Tech is a little too flawed IMO because Tech really doesn't bring much to the table. Tech's really not good at anything and is far from being in any kind of geographic market.
Even if you assume that it's those 4 schools going in other directions, each conference needs to still add teams to get to the totals that are required for 16 in each ... Big 10, ACC, and SEC all need 2 each. Big 10 will be taking Kansas and ??? (maybe Kansas State). ACC will likely finally get around to taking UConn and ???. SEC would likely take someone from Texas (likely TCU if they don't go West to the PAC) and who knows who else.
The idea that some probably would have that TCU is screwed in a reorganization is not paying attention. The athletic programs in key sports are very good (football is football, baseball has been to the College World Series 3 straight years, basketball just hired Jamie Dixon). The location is strong located in the DFW market. Academics are respected. They will be going somewhere. To me it is a stronger pull than Texas Tech ... most Tech alums don't give a shit ...
If the colleges aren't going to spin football off into a quasi NFL I hope they go back to the historical conference model.
Revenue share between conferences and do shit regionally. Put in an eight team playoff and blammo, there's your product.
