ESPN would love it. It would bury the Big 12 completely for themSorry but the service academies are novelty additions IMO. It would be a Biden-like surrender to the CFP/ESPN terrorists.

CFN - over the past 5 years Ranking by average attendance per game.
# 32... BYU 56,600
# 61... Memphis 36,300
# 63... UCF 34,800... very big upside
# 66... USF 32,900... very big upside
# 68... UH 32,700.... 6th largest Metro area in the US... what an embarrassment!
# 69... Navy 32,600... national following and good road game attendance.
# 70... Army 32,100... national following and good road game attendance.
That is one bizarre story.You know there's one school that I think would be an excellent add, and no one is talking about it, Bishop-Sycamore.
I would add Hawaii, UNLV, BYU, and one other to make sure we have every time zone
Cincy is small time. Bleh.
BYU
UCF
USF
Then Colo St or New Mexico or Boise.
I don’t understand the love for USF as an expansion candidate. They had 2 good football seasons in the big east but have been a dumpster fire in the AAC. Basketball is horrible too.
My preference is UCF (strong football program, Orlando TV market, and Florida recruiting ), BYU (national brand, good athletics and existing rivalry with TCU), Cincinnati (WV rival, good TV market, good athletics) and Boise (BYU rival, national football brand, and growing market)

Consider Newfoundland as well to get some half hour time zone coverage.I would add Hawaii, UNLV, BYU, and one other to make sure we have every time zone
The guy they are sourcing this from has been debunked as a longhorn hack.
Is this the Texas guy you're talking about? Found this over on the Baylor board.
Yes, I have.Have you visited either of those campuses and cities?
Just saying. If you have not please do then come back to us.
P.S. Good barbecue/food is not the requirement to get in the BIG 12.

Attempted? Did you fight back or what? Tell me more.Yes, I have.
I have also been to Orlando, where some punk attempted to rob us at knife point.
Tampa is ok.
Totally understand Endless ... just wanted to provide him how few people show up to UH's games (the 6th largest Metro Area in the United States)... up against other potential Lil'8 candidates, which are in much smaller markets.He said viewership, ie. TV, not stadium attendance. Two different sets of numbers.
Looking at good opponents: In this case P5 teams in OOC or bowl games on major channels (UH does not have the option of P5 conference games) UH averages higher viewership than Cincy and Texas Tech. I have not gone through all the schools. TCU is higher than UH still.

1st time to see UH that high on any chart... also the same viewership rank provider that has UH #50, also has TCU at #24(2019)... would be extremely surprised to see us nearly that high on any other ranking chart... really ! But flattered anyway LOL !!
It's going to be Houston, BYU, Cincinnati, and UCF. Texas and Oklahoma will be in the SEC next year.
I have no sources, but that's what will happen. I'm looking forward to it. I don't think it's good to lose Oklahoma and Texas, but I also never thought this ten-member Big XII would last. Sooner or later those two were gone. I'm just glad they didn't take anyone else with them. The new Big XII will be by far the second best league we've been in for thirty years, and probably will prove the most stable.
