Shouldn't this be the ****Official KU finishes last in the Big XII**** thread?

BYU has been a rumored addition many times in the past couple years. Boise St. simply has no where close to the academic requirements for the Big 12 (I'm not sure they even have a US News and World Report ranking).

The Big 12 have stated publicly that they are happy with 10 members and the media deals being signed reflect that even at 10 members the Big 12 holds with all the other major conferences when it comes to value.

The only team publicly mentioned by Big 12 officials to be added is Notre Dame. Word is that the teams in the Big 12 have different thoughts on expansion; KSU, Baylor, WVU, TCU and Texas Tech all favor expansion... Texas, OU, OSU are against expansion at this time... Kansas, ISU are in the camp of willing to expand but with certain conditions that are to be met.

This is further discussed in the Conference Realignment thread. This thread is not for expansion. Only to discuss the football being played in the Big 12 this fall with a focus on the eight teams not in our local area. KU and KSU have their own football threads for this season which already include thousands of posts where you can find all the information you need on those teams.

I know Wickedson catches a lot of heat. But this is a good idea for a thread.

...OUR TIME??

A thread about the Big XII excluding Kansas, Kansas State, and expansion? Should be a hotbed of interesting posts.

What would it exclude those things?
