[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129446461, member: 1428007"] From everything out there its pretty clear BYU and Boise are not on an expansion radar for the BIG 12. BYU fell through before due to multiple demands and special needs that haven't changed. Since then the conference moved eastward with WVU and has said -as have those connected parties like Brett McMurphy--that any future expansion will move eastward. When you look at a year like this anyway multiple schools such as Cincinnati and Memphis showed on the field they can be just as successful against power 5 opponents as BYU or Boise. The conference will have to make some decisions at some point regarding expansion because it affects more than playoff inclusion-but certainly playoffs and championships are critical for the conference over the next decade. Its clear the other conferences have something against the BIG 12 and there are power struggles going on. [/QUOTE]
