I think we're pretty much at the point where going independent starts looking less and less like a bad idea.

Wait, what? A money back guarantee for season tickets?? I'm not that old (just turned 38), but I can remember even not too long ago when Valley opponents packed their houses even for bad teams.

I dropped by the phognet forum to see what they are thinking. Apparently they think expansion is a network ploy to blow up the Big 12 in order to get OU and Texas into better football conferences. They seemed convinced the league is done, either now or at the end of their TV deal in 8 years. They are hoping for a B1G invite.

I wonder if the MVC would make room for a couple more western teams? Patty Viverito might not like it that KU and KState would park their programs in the MVFC though.

KSU would have to go mountain west i would think. As would Iowa State. Who knows about the rest.People who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do. -Isaac Asimov

The Pac 12 needs 4 teams. I would think at least 2, maybe 3 from the Big 12 and BYU. Another possibility is New Mexico, but let's not use them. I think BYU would be a better fit than any 4th Big 12 team.
If the above is true, that leaves at least 4 Big 12 teams (5 if 8 teams go to the P4) to fit into the remaining 5 slots. It would look like UConn would be the remaining team to the Big 10 or not at all if 5 Big 12 teams fill the holes.
At worst, the AAC and MWC could lose 1 team each. A little more likely, just the AAC loses one. Very possibly, neither lose any teams. If you were the remaining 2 or 3 Big 12 teams without a home, would you go MWC or AAC? Football would be about a push and the AAC would be superior to the MWC (at this time anyway) in basketball. I would also think, that for the same reasons many posters on here prefer the AAC over the MWC (such as time zones) for a WSU landing spot, so would teams that are equal to or farther east than us from the Big 12.
What'cha think?

If the P5 was to become the P4 and the Big 12-2 was gone, that leaves 7, maybe 8 teams from the that conference to be added to the remaining P4 conferences to make 16 teams each. Currently, if I added right, it would take 9 additional teams to make 16 each.
