Press conference tomorrow at 11AM

[dgreco]

they have to take in 2 teams, but I wonder who they will be taking in? Would TCU get an invite and actually go? What if Texas A&M still leaves?

Apparntly Texas' decision came after being guaranteed by A&M they wont leave. They need to be more concerned about someone in the North still leaving such as Missouri

And they likely would stay at 10 for now.

But they will lose their championship game and a lot of money.

Nebraska and Colorado are still there for 2010 and Nebraska leaves next season.. I think its likely they will add another team later this year efffective next year and then another team will be added in the run up to Colorado's departure after the 2011 season. The Big 12 doesn't need to rush expansion.

So who could they invite?

they could add a couple Texas schools and have a texas division and move the Oklahomas to the other div and split up the two power schools. While that would mean that Texas and Oklahoma wont be guaranteed to play every year it does set up the possibility of a Texas vs Oklahoma Championship game which would be a ratings bonanza.

Why add teams that DON'T add value? There are no non Big 12(10) Texas teams that would bring more value than they would cost, by diluting the pie.

I highly doubt TCU will leave the MWC.
