"The Big 12’s best chance at survival is sticking together — at least for now. Unless the college football oligarchs decide otherwise, the league can backfill from the AAC and the Mountain West while maintaining Power 5 status. College football is largely a consumer product, but the Sun Belt has shown playing the sport at a high level still matters.

While Big 12 schools each received $37.7 million in television revenue during the 2019-20 school year, that number will undoubtedly plummet without Oklahoma and Texas. Even with the drop off, those payouts may still be more lucrative than the $5.3 million each AAC member received this year.

On the field, a reconstituted Big 12 with Boise State, Central Florida, Houston and possibly an independent like BYU would expand the footprint and preserve a conference identity centered on high-powered offenses. Not to mention create compelling TV, which is ESPN’s endgame to begin with."

Big 12 best course is to add 4 teams and stay a P5... - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 21:35:59
     Cincy and BYU have been good at times, and so has Memphis... - Deputy Dawg MU - 9/2 16:41:46
          Yeah, it will still be a very competitive conference... they - North co-co champs MU - 9/2 20:11:22
     Apparently you’re not a P5 conference until ESPN says so - MoGold MU - 7/29 23:41:34
     That wouldn't be considered a power conference. (nm) - zounami MU - 7/29 22:36:12
          Not a P5 but a step above the rest of the mid-majors. - DHighlander NWMSU - 7/30 00:33:54
          Of course it would be (nm) - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 22:47:21
               It would absolutely not be (nm) - Cosmo MU - 7/30 10:04:07
               Nope..nm - bcoop199 KC - 7/29 23:10:02
               lmao no - pickle MU - 7/29 22:50:15
               nope, not even close (nm) - zounami MU - 7/29 22:49:27
                    Link - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 22:52:28
                         He's right that the Big12 can survive, but he's wrong that - zounami MU - 7/29 23:24:29
                              They would still be considered P5 (nm) - North co-co champs MU - 7/30 09:28:18
                                   Ok, you & the Oklahoman are right, everyone else is wrong. (nm) - zounami MU - 7/30 13:17:57
     Impossible to remain P5 - alwaysright MU - 7/29 22:05:04
          correct... it wouldn't even be close (nm) - zounami MU - 7/29 22:39:24
          adding 4 teams, they'd stay a P5 (nm) - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 22:16:21
               No. - alwaysright MU - 7/30 12:29:30
               I don't think so. (nm) - Lerxst MU - 7/30 09:27:07
               no... not even close (nm) - zounami MU - 7/29 22:36:54
               lol no (nm) - pickle MU - 7/29 22:18:55
                    Yep that's a fact they'd be a P5 (nm) - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 22:25:48
                         no, they would be the best non-P4 conference (nm) - zounami MU - 7/29 22:37:14
                              Easy they would be. It wouldn't even be close that they - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 22:42:46
                                   Being #5 and getting a P in front of it are now exclusive - alwaysright MU - 7/30 13:10:28
                                   They would be the 5th best conference, but the gap would - zounami MU - 7/29 22:43:58
                                        And also enormous between them and every other conference - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 22:45:55

                                             Without UT and OU the LB8 are no longer P5. They are just - hefeweizen MU - 7/29 22:44:50
     But but …..pickle and TigerJack - Genco98 MU - 7/29 22:01:39
          you’re an odd one, MakeShift (nm) - pickle MU - 7/29 22:06:51

                    Yes, that ship sailed - Merlin KC - 7/29 23:41:20
                    Yes. AAC seems comfortable in their own skin. A very - hefeweizen MU - 7/29 22:05:45
                         You being a "KC" guy wouldn't have anything to do with - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 22:12:55

                                        Dude. Think. What would be easier? AAC add 5 and - hefeweizen MU - 7/29 22:33:45
                                             Easiest is Big 12 poaching the AAC's 3 best schools and... - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 22:40:14
                                                  Hey dummy, the AAC will be renegotiating their deal when - hefeweizen MU - 7/29 22:42:26
                                                       So will the Big 12 dummy (nm) - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 22:43:59
                                                            Not with ESPN. AAC already has a deal with them. (nm) - hefeweizen MU - 7/29 22:47:44
                                                                 lol. $5 million a year payout. A reconsituted Big 12 would - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 22:49:16
                                                                      As would an expanded AAC. (nm) - hefeweizen MU - 7/29 22:55:04

                                                                                          JFC. Their deal with ESPN will be redone FFS. ESPN has walke - hefeweizen MU - 7/29 23:08:45
                                                                                               LOL. It won't be any better and will be divided between 16 - North co-co champs MU - 7/30 09:32:56

               Big 12's 8 school poaching the AAC's top schools is a much - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 21:51:38
                    the LB8 isn’t poaching anyone - pickle MU - 7/29 22:10:57
                    Looks like ESPN disagrees with you(nm) - hefeweizen MU - 7/29 21:53:28

                              Lol. Ok(nm) - hefeweizen MU - 7/29 22:02:05
     They are in no position to poach anyone. Their TV contract - hefeweizen MU - 7/29 21:43:01
          But why would the MVC or AAC get a TV? So does it - North co-co champs MU - 7/29 21:50:56
               inhabit reality - pickle MU - 7/29 22:09:57

                                   What you laid out is a hypothetical that ignores the fact - hefeweizen MU - 7/29 22:12:16
