That's because it sounds a lot like with what I have been telling you guys.

Missouri?

And it's Missouri.

Adding Missouri would add Arkansas, Oklahoma and Tennessee as contiguous states.

If the big 10 wanted Missouri, they shouldn't have screwed them over the last expansion round…unlikely they would leave now for the big 10. I guess if the big 10 also got KU, maybe missouri would jump but i can't see them jumping with uconn as team 16.

That would be the end to a lot of complaining on this board.

If FSU left the ACC and the rest of the ACC remained intact, why not add a USF/UCF combo to make up some of FSU's void? I get UC has just as good of football and much better basketball though.

I know West Virginia wouldn't represent many cable households, but it does help with BTN. West Virginia probably would drag some Kentucky and Virginia cable systems into higher rates as well, in particular the Kentucky side of the Huntington market, and the Virginia side of the Roanoke and Harrisonburg markets.

I'd imagine the Pac 12 can't be that thrilled with the Big 12 landing in Utah, even if it is with BYU. It would be pretty easy from there to go after Boise State and Colorado State, taking significant athletic and market capital out of the Mountain West. If the Mountain West does wind up losing those two, maybe Idaho and New Mexico State can finally get out of the Sun Belt for football. I just can't see any schools in Texas wanting to join after the MW takes a hit like that.

K-State and UConn

B1G: K-State, UConn
B12: Cincinnati (fulfill the 10 team TV requirement)
AAC: UTSA (Balance the AAC divisions better East/West)
CUSA: Texas St, AState (geography backfill)
SBC: UTA (adds FB)-NMSU/Idaho get a stay of execution FB Only

K-State would be along with Nebraska and Wisconsin one of the FB powers of the B1G West. If they can be successful in the stronger B12 they will have no problem in the B1G West.

UConn mainly for a nice toe in New England (basically the only school reasonable to add). Outstanding basketball and very easy to market as a B1G school.

Now that's interesting. Mizzou gets passed around as the girl who brings party favors. The SEC is up for a contract and takes Mizzou. The Big 10 is up for a contract and takes Mizzou. I suppose if the PAC needs to re up they might take Mizzou from the Big 10. Ha. That would be rich!

OK let's play along with Missouri for a second. I don't think they'd leave the SEC at this point for the Big Ten. There is no grant of rights so it is possible though. If Missouri came, UConn would likely be the other.

Now what about the SEC? The grant of rights deals protect the Big 12 and ACC. I'm not sure where they'd find a replacement. Maybe go for Navy?

It might make sense for the ACC to go after UCF instead to double down in Florida.

I think you'd have to in order to even come close to making up FSU's presence in Florida.

JD/Big 10 looking pretty foolish with this guy's logic. Could have had missouri, KU and neb to jump to 14. Than gone for Rutgers/maryland to stop at 16, why didn't they do that? i guess a conflict of interest with JD dreaming of unc and UVA in the big 10. Now to reverse and target missouri seems dumb move for the big 10. Also, add to the fact the president of missouri is the former president of texas a&M, got to think he wouldn't be in favor of a move.

As a Louisville fan, seriously are you guys just having a karmaesque laugh right about now?

One point to consider; at the FBS level at least nobody has played a down in 3 different football conferences since 2010.

Boise (WAC, MWC, BE) and TCU (MWC, BE, B12) had offers from 2 different conferences but ultimately only played in 1 football conference. For this reason I doubt Missouri would jump to the B1G when they are already in he best football conference here is.

More likely then it will be a school that didn't get an upgrade (Kentucky, UConn, Kansas) in the last round. K-State may get the call because of their football. For Oklahoma I think it would be harder to make the move due to the schools relationship with Dallas Ft-Worth metro.

RE: Greg Flugaur posts tonight, says more to come, fwiw.
Flugaur in his last tweet said ESPN couldn't risk losing its ACC AAU schools. They could afford to lose Missouri. Now if you take that tack then the SEC gets 3 to move to 16. That works for a couple of options. Let's say they do get Virginia Tech and N.C. State and pick up West Virginia in the process. It doesn't really affect the balance of power in the ACC. The SEC is rewarded for having provided a leverage property a home while ESPN served its own agenda. I've told many here that all of this is controlled by the networks. The SEC wasn't interested in Missouri until ESPN pushed the idea a couple of years before they joined. If the SEC gets anybody from the ACC for compensation from the Mouse then who does the ACC pick up? OU, UT, OSU, and KU? Or does the SEC simply go for UT, OU & OSU? No matter how you slice it if the Big 10 moves to 16 by 2017 the dominoes will fall again.

Missouri is a misfit toy in the SEC. They should be in Arkansas' division. Instead, they are in Florida's? Make's no sense.

If Delany can convince Kansas to join (reinstate the Border War) too, a Big 10 pod of Nebraska, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois/Iowa would be very appealing for Mizzou.

The SEC would make a play for Texas, Oklahoma, and Okie state. Then the Big 12 can just go ahead and die.

Mizzou and Vanderbilt

Both want the research consortium.
Mizzou can lead to Oklahoma and Texas down the road.
Vanderbilt along with Maryland can break down barriers with UVa, UNC, and GT down the road.
Would strike a major blow to the SECs ego.

SEC takes WVU and ECU in response.
Big12 goes west with BYU, Colo St, and UNM

Texas and Oklahoma want no part of the SEC. They want to control their own conference, thank you.
