[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129460203, member: 1428007"] Believe there has to be a majority for expansion to occur but not sure about that. Its a serious matter so they probably want a unanimous vote. Speaking of Memphis and schools like that--it is a shame. Inaction causes things like Louisville to the ACC, and Memphis great coach to the ACC. Programs that could work are left too long to fend for themselves and then can be eliminated or diminished. The BIG 12 has certain standards which is why schools like UConn, BYU and Cincinnati are considered on a higher level than a Memphis. Its about more than just a couple of football seasons results. The school itself is important as far as academic standing and reputation. The BIG 12 isn't going to consider schools like Southern Miss or ECU. Getting a team "in the heart of ACC country" is not important to the leaders of the BIG 12, nor should it be. That's a meaningless criteria. [/QUOTE]
