Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

QuoteThe leaders in the clubhouse for Big 12 expansion remain BYU, Cincinnati and Connecticut. The next tier includes South Florida, Central Florida, Memphis, Colorado State, Houston, Boise State and Tulane. If the league does add four schools, there's really no standout candidate for that fourth slot. (Houston has the best program and television market of available schools, but there's still some hesitancy within the state of Texas to allow the Cougars to use the Big 12 to potentially leap over current members). Schools like Temple, San Diego State and Northern Illinois don't really have a chance, but will give it a shot anyway. "They're going to open it up like an auction," one Big 12 source said. "They don't want it to be like they're out there soliciting schools."

i wont pretend to know anything about realignment, but i just dont get why a major conference would want any of those teams over the biggest school in one of the biggest markets in the country.

with the acc network launching in 5 years or so, maybe they move to 16 and grab temple so they can put that channel on in an extra 3-4 million homes.

big 12 doesn't have a tv network so market size doesn't mean much to them otherwise they would be fighting way harder to get Houston

i think they have it right...id put temple alone behind Memphis south and central florida and ahead of the rest

but I think they got it right with byu uconn and cincy....again Houston is number one with a bullet on the entire list but as they mention the idiotic texas politics of it all is messing with that

big 12 doesn't have a tv network

they obviously want one....the thing that would make sense would be to take over the god awful longhorn network

but i fundamentally dont even understand why these conferences want cable networks when cable is a dying industry

UCF has 60,000 plus students, it's located in a top 20 tv market and it has an easily expanded on-campus stadium that's about 10 yrs old. 

They should be a lock.
