Big 12

[waterhead]

Here are my expert, fail proof, genius level, odds:

BYU/Houston: 85%
The Field: 15%

Way to go out on a limb here. The only scenario someone could say you were wrong is if no expansion happens. Other than that even Ohio State and NKU are covered under the field. Personally I would have given no expansion >0% just to make sure you will be right in any scenario...LOL

I am giving UC 99% odds. 1% covering all other scenarios in which UC does not get in. I guarantee I will be right on this

Houston doesn't seem to be having much of a problem recruiting their own area. Hell, they landed the #6 recruit in the nation last year. What's Tubs excuse?

I was not aware of TT making any excuses, where is link? According to the experts on this board Cronin is the excuse maker

 

[Cartel]

It's good to discuss these options. Here are my guesses:

1. BYU/Houston - nil
2. BYU/Cincy - 25%
3. UH/Cincy - 75%

IF they add four:
BYU/UH/Cincy as three of the four 100%

Maybe a little bit of bearcat glasses on. There is definitely a chance we get left out. Although not 85% chance

A slight tweak to this: Texas, I'm told, wants BYU and Houston.

Texas has TCU and Texas Tech in their pocket. Those 3 have the power to block anything.

Why does Texas Tech and TCU want UH in. What do they get out of this?

Texas happy

But you have to admit the Coogs have a really good chance

They can block...but they also have another problem. They need to be able to vote something through. They can't do that without some help.

UC...the path of least resistance

"This is the center of what we refer to when we say BYU’s an inexact "cultural fit" for this conference, or really any conference. BYU’s stance on sexual orientation has long been an issue in athletics. In the Big 12 discussion, the Sunday-only thing will ultimately be NOTHING compared to this."

I am having a hard time believing in today's social landscape that the Big 12 would want this type of controversy surrounding it's potential expansion candidates. Why would they want the headache when there are other candidates to consider as primary options???

Would BYU be willing to change it's policies (in a satisfactory way)??
