[QUOTE="Orlaco, post: 129577522, member: 1101564"] ' 'Viable options' is a relative phrase. I think you mean 'obvious choices' (and even that doesn't have a clear definition). Nothing wrong with that approach if you're willing to risk not being the first conference to offer those type of schools (if if one ever exists again). ....we know that's never been a problem for the Big 12. The have and have nots are only going to get further separation because it's a war that takes money. Short of Power 5 schools candidates just don't have the ammo. I understand the people that don't want expansion...but it is now a long term investment. To expect teams to have an instant impact on the conference just isn't reasonable. Again, it's fine if you're against expansion...just don't expect a dark horse school to magically fall into the Big 12's lap. It just ain't gonna happen. [/QUOTE]
