Sizing up the Big 12 expansion candidates
Source: Big 12 Football Blog - Aug 29, 2011 at 9:03 AM
Every indication the past few weeks is that Texas A&M is leaving the Big 12. It's not quite official yet, but if the Big 12 has put together an expansion committee (which it has) it's probably safe to do the same here.
So, here goes.
Rumors have run rampant regarding future Big 12 members. The league's remaining nine members sound very committed to the Big 12's future, so I don't see the league imploding, but who should the league add?
The one caveat: I don't see any programs joining the Big 12 without some sort of written agreement that guarantees Big 12 stability moving forward. The league already tried that whole honor system thing, built around "unequivocal commitments." How'd that work out?
