Big 12 Expansion Preference

Cruel to Utah
Yeah. Just edited to add them and had to lose the "stop at 14" option.
I want Oregon and Washington to bend the knee and join the unwashed masses only to get smacked around until they each pay us 100MM to run away. We can then backfill with ACC schools
It’ll bring me great joy to watch ASU and Utah get relegated.

AAU peer, more FL recruiting presence, travel partner for UCF in hoops & other non-football so our teams aren't worn out on the back end of a road trip that starts with UCF, strong commitment and funding recently on athletic facilities, more ETZ content (early football window & prime time doubleheaders in hoops). That's my thinking on including them. Plus, fvck those Scott Frost loving motherfvckers at Night Manager U.
Went with Zona, asu and Utah as I believe this is the most possible outcome.
Oregon and Washington are Big10 bound soon enough.
Will be fun to have the Holy War and the AZ/asu rivalry in conference.
SDSU would help CU but have heard ZERO buzz this is even being considered.
S Fla is interesting but that can wait till
you see who arrives from the fallen ACC.
I want Pitt and Louisville for sure.

If Tulane did anything to help the Big 12's media revenue, they would have gotten the call before Cincy, BYU and UCF because of the academic profile, recruiting grounds, and great destination that's easy to get to for most fans in the core footprint.
You do realize I wasn't the least bit serious, right? Of course, I wouldn't complain about Tulane. They'd be much better than ASU. Great place to go, LA recruiting footprint and, well, it's a mean wave. Duh.
I knew. But I also know @sackman is completely serious.
You shut up and add Tulane. The poll is who we want. I want Tulane.

Dream Scenario: Oregon, Washington, Arizona. I know about the talk that Oregon and Washington have said no-but I don't buy it. The one thing we've learned about those two is their opinion of themselves is far higher than what reality says they are. Arizona's the easiest nut to crack left in the PAC.
I'd be just fine with Arizona, ASU, and Utah. That might bring Oregon and UW.
If the Pac manages to keep it together, I'd like San Diego State as team #14. The exit fee isn't a huge deal. Give them $20 million (to keep the math simple) and knock $7M year off it to cover their exit fee (assuming the $34M figure stands). They bring a new market AND take a logical expansion candidate off the table for the Pac 12. They fit in from a basketball perspective.
Scheduling thing: K-State youtuber I watched said he thinks the conference will use a protected rivalry (game you play every year) type system to fill three games and then rotate the other six. This is totally dependent on further expansion-but I would think we'd be looking at BYU, Oklahoma State, and K-State. BYU's logical as a geographic fit alone. Just don't slap a dumb name on it and pitch it as a rivalry. K-State/Colorado is a series you want to happening as much as you can if you're the Big 12 in my opinion. Call me a child of the 90s/early 2000s.......but I thought of K-State as a rival until we left. There were memories I went to probably four games with them-all four were close. Bill Snyder was easy to make fun of-but that dude is a HOFer. Klieman's building something. Add Coach Prime to that and you have a marketable game-somewhat of a rivalry renewed. Oklahoma State's similar. Not far-and they're losing probably two big games in Texas and Oklahoma next year. That's a blow-but if you have a former conference foe in the not too distant past......its a more attractive game than having them play Houston. Add Coach Prime and the history-I know Mike Gundy is a man. I know he's 56. **** him-and you have another marketable game.

UW, UO, UU
Its not a poll about who I detest or tolerate. Poach the best and toss oily rags and used gas cans in the P12 dumpster before it lights.
Unlikely, but those three are the strongest additions to the B12 from a football perspective IMO.

Utah has only experienced modest success (OOC losses, wins over pathetic P12, losses in NY6) with a generational talent at HC.
He’ll be gone soon and they’ll revert to the mean. This is the peak, and it’s not that high, so I sat leave em or we’re buying way too high

I voted UA, UO and UW because I think those are the 3 best brands although part of me wanted to pick UConn, UA and UW just so we could own nickname redundancy with 2 Wildcats, 2 Cougars and 2 Huskies

UO, UW, and UA top picks to maximize conference value.
Excluding UO/UW, I’d take UA, SDSU, and USF. We need additional teams to the west so we don’t get stuck with all the crappy time slots and a travel partner for UCF/more FL recruiting for Prime.

This is where I’m at. A) don’t care if UO goes to the B1G and gets “more” money…won’t change anything, and I hope their nouveau riche ass get pummeled into mediocrity. And I want UDub and UU to fail as well. I only care about CU, and about CU being the top program in their conference.
SDSU
Arizona
Stanford (because I believe they deserve to be part of whatever is going on)
I mean, there’s only one other possibility at this point unless the G5 ranks start consolidating
ACC can't last when the teams that carry the ratings and will invest at a championship level are held to half the income of their national peers due to conference affiliation.
It wasn't that easy, it took Larry Scott over 10 years of hard work plus significant help from the university presidents
Going with the "who I personally want" standard, rather than the best for conference or best for CU standard, I chose UA, ASU, and then struggled for a third, ended up with SDSU just because easy win and recruiting footprint.
UA & ASU because going to the game gives me something to get away from my mom and her husband for half a day when I strategically plan my visits there.
If Tulane could be the third option, that'd be my preference.
Give me a standard other than what I personally prefer, and you'll get a much different answer.
