still though, your point is valid in that they have: 1) respectable size 2) extremely good academics 3) good plethora of sports teams all of which butler does not have. |

agree entirely...was not disputing the point(s), only the technicality of undergrad enrollment. |

After looking at the map the three that seem to fit are ND, Pitt and Mizzou. Now academically I don't know about Pitt or even Mizzou for that matter. Either way if we had one and made 12 it would make for some interesting divisions depending on how it was sliced. |

i think both pitt and missouri would fit in academically, but i definitely think Pitt has more to offer in the academics department. |

of course the big 12 moniker is already taken...so we'd have to come up with a new name, or just keep calling it the big 10...seeing as how an 11th team didn't seem to impact that aspect |

technically there are 12 members of the big ten if you count the University of Chicago which is still a member academically. oh how confusing it would become. |

I still think a Big 12 North team (Kansas, K State, Iowa State, Missouri) makes the most sense..........outside of a few extremely rare years.......they rarely can compete with Texas/Oklahoma |

With possibly TCU moving into the Big 12? It would make sense....TCU was in the old SWC with a lot of the Big 12. |

would make sense to me........i'm not sure if they would join the north though....... maybe a southern team can be considered north now? |

ah hell, i'm sure TCU would be happy as hell to be a big 12 team, and wouldn't care if they were north |

Could also buck Oklahoma up to the North....I'm sure the Big 12 would drool over having Oklahoma and Texas in the title game. |
