Fighting the directional battle is a losing one. I wish that UCF fans would realize this. A simple name change back to Florida Technological University fixes these problems. Everybody sees it but UCF fans.

Usf can do this too by renaming to the "University of the State of Florida". Let's see them call us a directional school then.

UCF should have never changed their name in the first place but changing back now after the success we had would be squandering everything we worked for imo. The media would belittle us for changing it saying we have no cohesiveness, etc. Anyway USC is a directional name so it can work with time. People are going to beat us back until we get into a power conference no matter what name we have.

Citronauts all day.

After how they treated UCF and USF last year at this time and some of their more recent quotes they will never add us.

This sounds stupid but USF would get crossed off the list immediately for their hook em horns celebration. Texas's conference is not going to allow that

Conference expansion is DEAD, boys and girls.

UT and OU won't be around for anything big12 future expansion related nonsense... Heck, they're one foot out the door already.

I'm telling you, conference expansion is DEAD

Im totally fine Houston remaining in this league.

The AAC is already a Power league all we need is a reasonable upgraded new tv deal with enough bells... $$$... and... whistles... tv exposure.

Only takes a majority vote to dissolve the Big12 so if Texas and OU are leaving along with their little brothers Tech and State, they just gotta grab two more to get to a majority. Dissolving the conference saves them millions. This is the scenario where the AAC and MWC do the inviting and are not dissected.

_______________

1. The Big XII is registered as a corporation & the By-Laws specifically state that they follow the laws of Delaware with regard to the corporation.

2. There is no provision in the By-Laws for dissolution of the conference. Absent this, the laws governing corporations in the state of Delaware prevail.

3. The following & only the following are identified in the By-Laws as actions which require a 75% vote:
- Amendments or modifications to the By-Laws
- Admission of new members
- Suspension, expulsion, or probation of current members
- Amendments or modifications to the role or authority of Board or Committees
- Approval of contracts re football bowl games
- Approval of policies or modification of revenue distribution

Still need to convince me Texas is leaving when they make more than other conferences and get to call the shots.

Also kidding yourself if you don’t think OU and Texas aren’t working in concert with each other.

Anyone notice how Texas didn’t raise a stink when A&M left, conspiracy theorist in me believes A&M will support Texas if they ever do choose to leave so they don’t have to take a little brother.

Totally agree, No one will be added. This thread needs to die.

If Houston was in the Big12 and were left behind the AAC would be the better ideal landing spot over the one team mwc... cough... Boise... cough.

UConn going to the NEWbigeast and football taking a nosedive in an empty pool wouldn't suprise me either.
