    Default Fresno State Joining the BIG XII???

    I saw this on a CA Forum and I listened to the Takedown Radio Broadcast and Coach Steiner stated that they are indeed looking to move into the BIG XII. he interview picks up at about 1 hour 15-16 minutes into the show.

    Talk about a coast to coast conference if this would happen. In the interview Coach Steiner said that the BIG XII was looking to add up to two more teams. I have heard rumors that UNI or Mizzou would like to come back the conference. I know of those two teams it's more likely UNI since most of the BIG XII ADs are still not happy about Mizzou departing for the SEC.

    This will make the B12 better, but I was hoping they would go to the PAC10. I know ASU is improving, but the rest of that conference isn't good.

    I'm assuming you're talking Nebraska not UNI? Also it seems Nebraska and Missouri are happy where there at, but you might have a better idea living where you do. I have heard Cincinnati and Memphis as two of the more likely Big12 expansion candidates.

    It still feels to me like we are in the WWC with the exception of the West Regional , which now has a few more teams. I hope we get more integrated with the Big XII, but I still have my doubts. If the conference expands to be more even widespread, I think it would be hard to change the status quo.

    I agree...Also, I hope we aren't just a "filler" until the bigger schools come calling to join the BIG XII...

    A-fill-idiot....I will say it again....The WWC got vanboozled by the Big 12 or is it really 4...they needed the extra qualifying spots and stole them from WWC with the promise of more inclusion and dual meet opportunities. It will be a cold day in Fargo when OSU, Okie, and ISU travel to the WWC schools on a regular basis.

    Recruiting help by being an A-fill-idiot? Don't see it helping much...even when Iowa bumps two top tier kids from their scholarship offers....the only school that has a shot at them is OSU...not the dsu's of the WWC. You pick the N or S...the top kids are not going there.
