After that, it's a push. CU is a mess and has been for the better part of 10 years. Rutgers? Meh.

Cincy and UCF are looking better by the day, IMO.

I saw something like this on an SEC rivals board. The consensus there was the best move was the SEC getting Mizzou and ATM and the worst move was split between the Big 12 and the recent moves of the BIG with Maryland and Rutgers.

Why not Cincy? They would be at least average in both sports, expand the footprint, and help bridge the gap to WV.

Eh, I don't really have a good reason. They would be a better addition than TCU but worse than UCF/USF IMO.

South Florida would be a terrible add. Gross. I guess I could sort of understand taking them with UCF with the thought process being that neither of them really gives you a strong presence in Florida by themselves, but having both of them might.

IMO, the smartest play for the Big 12 might be to add BYU and Boise. BYU brings a huge nationwide fanbase, Boise adds a strong football brand in a conference starving for those. They'd certainly get better ratings than Cincy or UCF would. This would expand the Big 12's footprint and allow them to directly compete with the PAC.

I know, it seems like a bizarre add, but Air Force has a routinely credible football program. Moreover, there is a prestige associated with the service acadamies. Both schools would give you something of a national cache. They'd have provided strong academics, a pretty pristine reputation for excellence in fields other than athletics, and a couple of solid football programs that occasionally make a little noise in basketball. Air Force would've even been a solid regional pickup and BYU damn sure wouldn't have been any worse from a geography perspective than WVU. Instead they added another Texas school, just a far worse one and a school from the armpit of America that nobody gives a rip about. Those still feel like panic adds to me.
