if it came down to Utah state university and UC I have a feeling you would say USU makes more sense...
What happened to your insightful posts? You need to remove the rain cloud over your head or move on man.Houston and BYU makes the most sense. BYU is the best brand available, Houston has the political backing and the best chance to be a top 15 team for the foreseeable future in football.
No...Is it possible for the ACC to add any members? I feel like if UConn gets left out, they would make a push for the ACC.

Maybe...with Noter Shame included in the ACC Network, they'd need ND to be full time member in order to expand. Even if the ACC expanded, it would be only one team because ND is full member in all other sports. BC kept UConn from the ACC last time and BC has lost any clout they had. If there is ACC expansion, I think UConn is as close to a shoe in as there is, unless they get Big 12 invite this week along with us.
While there has been a lot of public politicking for UH, BYU, Memphis, UCF, etc., but it's been radio silence from UC. I'm confident that that's good news in that they feel they're in a good position already. I certainly hope that's correct.
I still think it will be 4 schools: UC, BYU (football only), UH & Memphis. I'd love to see UConn, but I don't think that will happen. Tulane is an interesting option, but they are so far behind the curve that I don't see them making the cut either.
This battle won't be won on Twitter or in the public eye. As long as UC officials are doing the work behind the scenes, that's all that matters. The proof will be in the pudding. They should have a position of strength compared to many other members. If Big 12 comes easy and doesn't include Cincy, we need all new leadership.
Any chance the Big 12 will pull an ACC? Add 4 teams and then make it next to impossible to leave? That would put the Pac 10 in a bit of a bind no?
Doesn't sound good for the Big 12...

ESPN and Fox are both even threatening a lawsuit if Big 12 goes through with expansion.

The best case scenario is if UC gets in AND the GOR gets extended through the network agreements. It sounds like that could happen.
That would certainly be great for UC and our athletics programs.

"But, when it is all said and done, my source believes that simplicity is likely to win out. While some of the bigger solutions may look sexy, the likelihood that eight Big 12 Presidents agree on all the components of a big move is unlikely. As it stands today, Cincinnati is likely the easy 11th member while the debate over the 12th member will center around UCONN and Houston. My source believed, despite reservations, that Houston would win out. Also: "I wouldn't be surprised to see UCONN find a home in a power 5 conference before the Big 12's process is concluded.""
