Houston market (from Big12 alums, and A&M alums who still follow UT and the Big12).

My preference, if MU were still in the Big12, would be:

1) BYU
2) Cincy
3) UConn
4) Nevada
5) Colorado State
6) Houston

If they took Rutgers they'll take ku.(nm) - Fool on the Hill MU - 5/18 16:22:11

UConn has more national titles in hoops, and a better media - zounami MU - 5/18 16:43:55

Why do you say Missouri to the Big?(nm) - Fool on the Hill MU - 5/18 19:49:41

I'm not saying MU would accept, but the B1G would certainly - zounami MU - 5/18 20:08:17

ACC schools. And the B1G doesn't have to expand at all... - zounami MU - 5/18 16:45:41

KU would have the same fate as UConn (i.e. mid-major)..... - zounami MU - 5/18 15:14:35

TBoone made it very clear to OU & UT what happens if they - MU-TULSA MU - 5/18 17:05:44

Completely different scenario. If OU were to leave the Big12 - zounami MU - 5/18 15:33:39

BTW, I think the same thing applies to KU & K-State, but... - zounami MU - 5/18 15:52:10

No. During the last realignment drama.... - tgrfan1 SEC - 5/18 22:29:41

That was different, as it appeared the Big12 was collapsing - zounami MU - 5/18 23:18:47

KS state legislature would absolutely not sacrifice ksu for - phrejd MU

houston is an easy fix to the baylor problem ... - tmcats KSU - 5/18 15:06:20

# 1 -It's in Houston. The 3rd largest city in the U.S. - Tigerfish MU - 5/18 15:49:20

Pretty sure Houston's still behind NYC, Chi and LA - ShowMeKid MU - 5/18 16:18:43

Actually Houston is an SEC market. nm - BandG MU - 5/18 15:55:20

Houston, Cincinnati, BYU, or maybe even UConn. (nm) - zounami MU - 5/18 15:00:37

nope, the league has already looked at the others ... - tmcats KSU - 5/18 15:03:34
