Memphis President has been lobbying the Big 12 to get an invite. He is being pro-active and not sitting on his butt. Hope our Pres and AD is doing the same. The Big 12 hired a consulting group and they were told that going to 12 teams would increase their odds of being in the play offs and going to 14 teams would be good also. We are every bit as good as Memphis. The Big 12 has said in the past that they wouldn't take a school without a stadium on campus, or a basketball facility in which Memphis has neither, unless they have lowered their standards. Now we don't have the backing of Fed Ex, but we do have everything else. Location in the heart of the SEC for recruiting,close for all teams to travel to, and within a year or two our fan base and recruits will be as good as any in the state. We need BM to start talking to the Big 12 and telling them the positives about us. The heck with UCONN, Cincy, Memphis,UCF. Once we are in the B12 we would be something that State and Ole Miss would be looking in their rear view mirrors at.
Memphis President,
