With the article that I posted in the other thread for population growth for each state? Kansas, Iowa, West Virginia and Nebraska had a lot of depopulation. Area around Oklahoma State is not growing, and the area around Texas Tech is not growing as much as well.

If the P4 goes to P4? Many schools in the Big 12 brings no value. Even Kansas. Kansas is a basketball school, and not known for their football.

Oklahoma, Texas, TCU might be the only schools that might be worth the added value for a tv network. The others are not. That could bring the fast rising population areas in play.

Possible grabs?
Houston
SMU
Rice
UTSA
Middle Tennessee State
BYU
Boise State
Texas State
UCF
USF
Portland State
UNLV
Charlotte

Those are schools in areas where the population growth is growing.

One had to do with population growth, and another have jobs growth with the population growth. P4 needs to have larger markets to make things work out right. Could the P4 kick out the under performing schools in the population wise like Washington State and Oregon State?
