I would say anytime expansion occurs the conf know their targets before announcing. That is just smart Biz.

I don't know why that would surprise anyone, as long as this has been dragging out.

I was thinking about this the other day with football starting in September wouldn't they want to announce before football season kicks off. Makes the most sense so I figured we would know in the next four weeks. I believe we will be one of four teams to get in to the B12.

Common sense and history says that the Big 12 does NOTHING quick. They did not just wake up and do this on the spur of the moment.

RE: Dennid Dodd b12 decision before football season
If you consider the fact that Dr. Rudd's letter to the Big 12 was back in February, and who knows what correspondence he's had prior, this isn't a quick decision. Just wonder if he knew something as early as last year and has been keeping in touch the whole time. If so, and with FedEx's investment into the Big 12, it would make sense for us to join. But then again, making sense and sports don't always go together.

We shall see.

Let's hope they announce in August or September!! Just think what this will do for our recruiting!!!! We may be in a position to not honor some of the 3*'s verbal commitments and upgrade to a few 4*'s!!

It's definitely not good for Ole Miss.

Ole Miss, historically, has filled out it's roster with the top MS recruits, the top Memphis recruits, with a few regional players mixed in as well. Memphis getting into a P5 conference will definitely have an impact on recruiting - I can see Ole Miss and Memphis going head to head for a lot of guys now...

Memphis kids want to wear that BLUE generally speaking, if this happens it will go long way getting them kids in that BLUE.

A Tiger Football team that is a member of P5 conference could only hurt Ole Myth and Misstake. No two ways about it.

There is a really good reason why our program has been labeled a sleeping giant. Good recruiting territory, an urban school that is extremely amenable to African-American student-athletes AND a P5 membership would scare the daylights out of Ole Myth and Misstake.

Man, this would be huge. Our upside is unreal.

Seriously, UH? They WERE in a P5 conference or equivalent thereof AND had a Heisman trophy winner in Andre Ware and THEY STILL couldn't draw flies.

UC - is a solid program. Very little downside, but not a super huge upside.

Both UC and UH are pro football towns and even as crappy as the Bengals have been, the Bearcats will never be #1 in their own market, same with the Cougs.

We, on the other hand, would be stone cold lock as the #1 program in town (more than the Grizz) if we were in a power 5 conference and had some success.

There is not a program out there that has a higher upside than ours when it comes to joining a P5 conference.

A lot of kids will still want to play in the SEC. Their depth charts will be hit hard though. That means a lot of late bloomers that rose from the benches will be playing elsewhere.
