[QUOTE="Virginia Frog, post: 3164685, member: 4959"] I hope that if it's true that the 4 Pac Mountain Time Zone schools /Colo, Utah, Az1 and AZ2 want in to the Twelve, the Big 12 powers take their time in saying yes. It appears that these schools have no where to go (at best little prospect to join USC/UCLA)...so what's the rush. I'm assuming that the Golden Domers will hold to their Indy football policy. Then the next shoe to drop concerns the B1G's decision to add 2-4 more West Coast Properties to 4 or 6 in order to minimize the USC/UCLA travel burden, enlarge markets and to lessen the gerrymandered-likeness of their new footprint with this configuration. The candidates for this B1G promotion are likely to be Stanford/Cal or Oregon/Washington. Market arguments also exist for the inclusion of Colorado and one of the two Arizonas due to Denver and Phoenix eyeballs. As long as any of those six believe they have a shot of making the B1G money, they're not going to push the panic button and join the B12, IMO. I don't see the B1G blowing up to 20 or 22 teams (18 at most in this iteration), at least in this decade, so it's very possible that in the next year we can take our choice of the "leftovers." We can THEN choose based upon the merits of the schools/their brands/football-basketball prowess/logical geography. [/QUOTE]
