So with this talk about the Big 12 looking to expand it got me thinking. If they're going to expand they're obviously going to have to take from the AAC, MWC, CUSA, etc. If they do end up taking from those conferences then that leaves a void in those conferences for a potential conference shakeup. Geographically speaking if the Big 12 wants to expand they're best off looking at the AAC/CUSA. Looking at the MWC those schools would be better off looking at the Pac 12 if they wanted to leave because it makes more sense for those schools travel wise. Now what would the CUSA/AAC do if they wanted to keep their numbers the same member wise? Well MAC schools don't really make sense for the CUSA because those schools wouldn't be able to compete in that conference. The SBC schools are pretty much in the same boat. That leaves them with the possible option of luring an FCS powerhouse to come join. There is a catch though, it would have to make sense for both parties. Let's be real here, who honestly thinks that a school like Chuck South or NDSU would want to go to the CUSA? For NDSU it's basically AAC or bust if they ever consider going FBS. The MWC would make sense travel wise for NDSU but competition wise it doesn't.


Is there a possibility we get another school going up soon like Coastal? Or am I too far off in saying that this even makes sense?
