Ticket Exchange Pass
If the PAC/ACC/Big10 invite doesn't happen for TCU, my preference would be for the B12 to do the poaching. I wouldn't mind for ISU and KU to leave for the Big 10 either, and then let the remaining 6 focus on adding the best 6 teams looking East.
West Division:
Baylor
Boise (or Tulsa/UH/SMU if BSU's too far out of the geographic footprint)
KSU
OSU
TCU
Tech
East Division:
Cinci
Memphis
UCF
USF
WVU
one more (Coastal Carolina maybe?)
I would much prefer this to joining the AAC or MYC and having numerous home games against the UNLVs and ECUs of the world.
A schedule of BU, KSU, OSU, Boise, Tech, UCF, WVU, Cinci, and Memphis would have been pretty salty for many/most seasons the last 10 years. Certainly better than any of the schedules in the MWC, C-USA days.
Agreed Big 12 should get aggressive and poach, in my opinion would prioritize Texas schools first (SMU and Houston) and focus on natural rivalries
