[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 129460302, member: 1428007"] No one in the conference is bringing up Southern Miss or ECU so its not really an issue. Contractually the BIG 12 plays 9 conference games. Since the Pac 12 and Big Ten (soon) will do the same, the BIG 12 isn't likely to change that. There could be a division with OU and UT in it but its highly doubtful. The conference and networks will want balanced divisions and really what would be bigger than a potential OU -Texas BIG 12 CCG anyway-even if a rematch. Confident WVU will play one of those schools every year and some years will still get both (although, again, Texas has not been one of the most attended games in Morgantown for some reason. It doesn't seem to be that important to WVU fans.) The situation seems to be that if the deregulation passes, expansion might be held off a bit longer, but many in the media have stated their belief that its just a matter of time, but not happening immediately which we already know.
