[QUOTE="skygusty_rivals, post: 129566362, member: 1500287"] More opinions from talking heads. They get paid whether their guesses are right or wrong. You know, the schools could independently look at the data and listen to the presentations and decide on their own to vote for against expansion. It wouldn't mean they were supporting UT or Oklahoma just because they come to the same conclusions. Only Texas and Oklahoma can really damage the BIG12. If they decide that they would be better off elsewhere there is nothing the rest of the conference can do to stop it. I think the Big12 can survive with or without expansion, if Texas and Oklahoma want it to survive. If Texas or Oklahoma decides to leave, the BIG12 will be severely weakened but not dead. Without them, you would definitely see expansion. Even a league with OSU, Kansas, KSU, IS, TT, Baylor, TCU, WVU, Houston, BYU, Cincy, and UCF (or other schools under consideration) would have some decent teams and could certainly end up more unified as a conference than the current lineup. They would be viewed as the 5th best conference without a doubt. That would not be the end of the world. None of the scenarios are. Not much point worrying yourself sick about this. [/QUOTE]
