Big XII (official thread of whining, and homely herpes-having’ hos)

Who are Baylor, Kansas and Cincinnati?

Imagine being on the Kansas Season Ticket Wait list.
You're a lifelong Jayhawk fan, you pay the fees and understand there is a waitlist for seats at Phog Allen Fieldhouse.

Years pass - you finally get in! You cough up thousands and the season tickets are yours!
Oh shit! You have to play Oklahoma State in Juarez:pissed3::pissed3::pissed3::pissed3::pissed3::pissed3:

Big 12 Commissioner Will Eye Two Additions to Replace Oklahoma, Texas in 2024​

The Big 12 has officially expanded to 14 teams with the additions of BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF, but it won’t stay that way for long. After this year, they’ll return to 12 teams once Oklahoma and Texas depart for the SEC. Despite the recent shakeup, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark wants the conference to stay at 14 teams, hinting that it could once again expand.

“I’d like to stay at 14 [teams] even with the departure of Texas and Oklahoma, candidly,” Yormark told Spencer Linton of BYU Sports Nation. “We’ll see if that’s a possibility or not. But I love 12.”

Brett Yormark Eyeing Potential Big 12 Expansion on Both Coasts

At the outset of Big 12 media days, its commissioner delivered some veiled messages that speak to how the conference’s outlook has changed during his tenure.

In his second Big 12 football media days address, commissioner Brett Yormark was slightly more understated on the podium. But rest assured, the aggressive commish has no expansionist chill behind the scenes. The lean, cocksure 56-year-old is pursuing deals the way he attacks the Peloton leaderboard every morning.

That should keep conferences on both coasts nervous.

The Pac-12, still meandering toward a media-rights agreement? Keep your members close, especially Colorado. The Big East, lucratively reunited in recent years with 2023 men’s basketball national champion Connecticut? Check in on your Huskies.

Nothing may come of this. The Pac-12 may finally secure a media deal that keeps its remaining 10 schools in the fold and stabilizes the league. The Big 12 membership may resist overtures to UConn, which is a tough sell geographically and as a football contributor. But rest assured, Yormark is taking a year of positive momentum and doubling down on his efforts to elevate the Big 12 in the Power 5 hierarchy.
