SMU to Big 12?

[HillCoBowHunter]

The Big 12 will no doubtedly need to rebuild the conference is A&M leaves or else its doomed to disappear completely. I wouldn't mind seeing us push for Houston, wish we could find a way to add TCU. But SMU...?

What say you GS? Any thoughts on this building story?

Houston, TCU would be good adds for the Big 12 for sure

I think they need to stay in the Southwest Conference where they belong.

I think regardless of if the Aggies leave the Big 12 or not they should still pursue the likes of TCU, SMU, and UH. They are all up and coming programs.

GIG EM AG'S!

I feel like UH is the most logical choice but I must admit I more than a little biased.

TCU is heading into the Big East right?? Why would they stop that and come play in some dinky Big 12 conference?? And lose out all that National TV time, not just LHN time. UH and SMU would be great for the Big 12 IMO. And an off school like anyone from the Sun Belt conference in a state that has a SEC team. The UT can recruit in Alabama, just like they can recruit here if A&M goes SEC. Why is no one thinking that way? And then even Iowa State will have some competition!!

Definitely wouldn't mind seeing a few more Texas teams in the conference. I just hope it sticks together. Not becuase I'm overly ecstatic about the Big 12 as a conference but because if not then our teams are going to end up playing all over the country and we will never get to see them play.

UH and SMU would be a step down, they're better off blowing it up.......

Agreed, I see it going to 4 super conferences before its all said and done.

Yep. Heard discussions of BYU, would be a move in the right direction. Maybe Boise St wants to play in a real conference with AQ?

OU had been eerily silent through all of this. Wonder what they have up their sleave?

OU is a "Big Boy" program and will be able to name where they want to 'fit in' just like Texas will if the Big 12 goes away.

I'm sure they are the least worried about what is going on. They would be the first with the phone ringing if the conference splits.
