Zags to Big XII?

Typical of the Big XII, aka, Las Colinas Cretins. UNC has more revenue than any other school, and that isn't $20 million. So add a basketball school that you can't get to, with a following that is nonexistent, but doesn't travel worth a damn, and give them a piece of an already shrinking pie. Pure genius.
 
Maybe the Big XII will have Abilene form the "Christian Trio" with Hardin Simmons (Baptist), McMurray (Methodist), & Abilene Christian, and members would play one of the alternating group each year.
 
Yep, absolute desperate move. They panicked replacing Texas and OU with a bunch of nobodies and they’re still repeating it.
 
Since the Big 12 net is hanging REALLY low....

Why not add Austin College Fightin' Kangaroos in Sherman Texas?

Sul Ross in Alpine?

At this point what they are really lacking is a good directional school. Maybe Eastern New Mexico would be a good add.
 
Really makes no sense UNLESS the Big 12 thinks it's going to lose all its football schools. Then maybe it's a move to become a premier basketball conference?

True, and the rappers do prefer bball over football.

I mean... it will be the premier basketball conference. Losing Texas and OU doesn't affect it too much in that sense.

Gonzaga and UH will be mainstays in the top-25 for the foreseeable future, and teams like BYU and Cincy make waves in the rankings from time to time. You can go all the way to the bottom of the conference and find recent basketball successes from the likes of WVU and ISU. I get that football is king, but adding a school like Gonzaga for basketball only is a huge pickup.
 
Perhaps the best HS DE I ever saw went to Portales. Great talent, great kid, but may have been the laziest kid I ever met. With offers from OU, Texas, A&M, LSU, he failed high school typing and appealed saying his legs wouldn't fit under the desk.

When people ask how good he was, I tell them he is the only player our biggest rival's HC ever called me to get an update

My brother (HUGE tceh alum) tells me that tceh is no longer a football school; rather, it's a basketball school. He's pretty happy to have Cincy & cougar hi join the conference & isn't really all that upset about ou & us leaving. Strange because he remains a huge football fan.

Gotta admit, big xii will be a helluva b-ball conference.

Tceh alumni are weird people.

ACC might disagree with you.

I grew up in the area, started college @ tceh, transferred to UT, after graduating and a couple of subsequent stops I wound up back in Lubbuttock (18 yrs off & on) & Llano Estacado 38 yrs total...consider myself somewhat an authority on the subject & YES, tceh alumni ARE indeed some weird mofo's.

I would rather rub elbows with aggy down here in Brazoria County and the greater Houston area than have to put up with Tceh alums & fans in the Panhandle/South Plains.

Most aggy I know kind of mellow out with age. Tceh folks, not so much.

It is VERY difficult being a Longhorn in Lubbuttock.
 
I still don't know what Gonzaga adds even for BB. They're certainly not a historical powerhouse, were virtually nothing before Few and he could get snatched up by a big time P5 school. He's getting pretty old too.
