Re: College Football Realignment

With the Big East imploding, wouldn't it make sense for the Big XII to grab some of those decent football/ basketball schools in the midwest/ west and create their own brand? A 20-team super-conference with the following universities might turn some heads:

Texas
Baylor
Texas Tech
Houston
TCU
SMU
UTEP
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State
Tulsa
Iowa State
Kansas St.
Kansas
Louisville
Cincinnati
Memphis
Missouri
Colorado
Colorado State
Air Force Academy

That would make Boise State a nice Pac 12 consolation prize (at least in football), as well as Nevada, UNLV, Utah, BYU, New Mexico, et al. That puts them at 20. Add in a 20-team Big Ten (snicker), a 20-team ACC, and a 20-team SEC.
