Memphis looks really good this year and in recent seasons. Do they not strengthen the Big 12 coupled with either UC or UCF? Memphis’ overall athletic program is not far from KU and KSU, maybe better.

They are about to lose their coach to Florida State.

yes, UCF lost their coach and got a pretty darned good one in heupel. Let’s upgrade this conference, two divisions of 6 teams. Still think BYU and / or Boise could be an add. If we don’t get our stuff together, we’ll be back with Boise in the MWC.

Memphis is a long way from where we were when we moved up

we were something like 77-13 in the MWC

they are 38-15 since Norvell arrived and now he is leaving

one 12-1 season doesn’t make them ready for the P5

Let's shoot for the stars first like with Nebraska and Arkansas.

Then if no from them Arizona and Arizona State

Then if no from them I think UCF has the biggest potential because of enrollment size, Orlando market, hot bed talent state, they have their own stadium on campus, tourist area, and it's in SEC/ACC territory (which would be payback to the SEC for taking A&M - although that was a good thing for TCU). UCF after awhile in a power conference could be the next Florida State.

I dont think though Big 12 has the vision to do anything to get what they want.

This usually is a later in the off season conversation.

right now Memphis has better football and b-basketball teams than TCU.

Right now Memphis has better football and basketball teams than UT, Texas A&M, USC, UCLA, Notre Dame, Florida State, Miami, South Carolina, Oklahoma St, Washington, Nebraska, Arizona St, Stanford, Texas Tech, Arkansas, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Miss St, Colorado, Missouri, Indiana, West Virginia...... you get the point.

Every time the mention of conference expansion comes up on here then it becomes crystal clear which people have an understanding of how the business of major college athletics works and which people are totally clueless.

Memphis just barely beat a bad (by P5 standards) Ole Miss team in Memphis this year. It's not unreasonable to think that they only would've won 6 or 7 games if they were playing in the Big 12.

And yes, I know that the easy retort to that for some of you will be "but Country, didn't we just hate it when people used to say that about TCU back in our MWC days so we shouldn't look down on these better teams from smaller conferences." TCU had legitimately really good teams and proved it over and over again against big time competition over a period of years. It's kind of like comparing our C-USA team that won the Liberty Bowl in 02 to those great teams we had in the MWC years. That Liberty Bowl team was good by C-USA standards but no way was the program in a place to compete at the highest level at that time the way they were by 08-11.
