I wonder what the revenue numbers would be if the Big XII expanded from 10, to not 12, but 14?

Poor ol' West Virginia needs some dancing partners.

What if - Cincinnati, UConn, Temple and Navy were extended offers? These 4 schools would bring a LOT of TVs to the conference and would give WVU a nice set of geographical rivals. This would bring in Boston, NYC, Philly, Balt, not to mention Navy having a national following.

Another possibility, maybe instead of either Temple or Navy would be Memphis.

It seems the focus is to get to 12 universities. The Big XII consistently has been a follower and not a leader when it comes to expansion and planning for the future. The only exception was when the Big 8 universities were pro-active and invited the 4 Texas schools to form the Big 12. Ever since then the leadership of the Big 12 has failed us.

Divisions and paired with out of division rival?
Texas OU
TT OSU
TCU BU
ISU UConn
Cin Navy
Temp KU
WVU KSU
