Nah. When the Big12 was desperate they said no and rightfully picked Houston,UCF,BYU, and Cincinnati over them. Now with the Big12 is stable the only reason to expand is because the networks are willing to pay for it. Only P5 schools get that from ESPN in the media contract and Fox is willing to kick in on case by case also only P5.

Due to the media rights agreements of the P5 schools regarding non-P5 add-ons, the Big 12 needs to provide a path to "citizenship" through independents. If SDSU, UNLV, Memphis, SMU, SJSU, Louisville, Liberty, and other such schools want into a P5 conference, go independent, get your own media rights agreement to determine the value of your school, start playing P5 schools as often as you can, and then win those games consistently if you can. That is the best way you can prove yourself ready for the P5 competition. This is the path BYU and Notre Dame have taken. Think about it! Are you ready to advance yourself to the next level or are you going to be comfortable right where you are and decrease your chances of playing for a national championship in the future? The choice is yours if you are up for it!

What's with the consistent hate on Houston from Memphis supporters? Houston is still the 4th largest city in the country and some are missing the historical value they will bring connecting back vs Baylor, TCU, & Tx. Tech from their days in the SWC. The athletic program has been decent over the last 10yrs and the academia status has been going up. U of H currently has 7 pro teams that they compete against for dollars plus Rice, TSU, & HBU. Houston could've been a beast by now if it wasn't for politics from UT & A&M when it came to joining the original B12. TxTech & Baylor got the knod because they weren't connected to the bigger cities like TCU, SMU, & Houston. Memphis would fit perfect in a 18 team league for the B12 if I had my choices. BYU, AZ, ASU, SDSt., CU, OkSt, TxTech, TCU, Bay, UH, Memp, UCF IoSt, KU, KSU, Cincy, WVU, UConn

Why would the big 12 add PAC teams? It’s a failing conference for a reason. Mountain & Pacific time zones are just too hard for viewers to stay up for on the east coast. Big 12 should add Memphis and maybe Colorado. Then wait for The ACC to implode and go poach & reunite the old metro conference teams with Memphis and Cincinnati: Va Tech, Florida state, Louisville & Georgia Tech. That would be a hell of a conference when you add it all to the current Big12 roster of teams.

There best chance is if asu and Utah stay put then Memphis might sneak in. Memphis is behind Uconn on that list btw.

"Adding Memphis to the Big XII would be a good idea imo. It would make more sense than adding UConn in the grand scheme of things. Geographically Memphis is a better fit for the Big XII than UConn. Performance-wise... yes, that's an issue. Memphis is obviously invested in college basketball, and their football program is in a very similar position to that of UConn. Tapping into SEC territory, knowing the Volunteers are across the state of Tennessee, would be a good play. Economically speaking, I don't know how it's all going to work out for Memphis unless they take the hits and upgrade their facilities. We shall see."
