From that article.
“Regardless, there is no momentum for Gonzaga to the Big 12 as things currently stand, according to sources.”

I had to look into Seattle’s history because I asked myself how in the world were they not in the WCC already? It’s a natural fit but I learned that they were before and voluntarily dropped from NCAA to NAIA in the 80s.
Last time UH played Missouri State was with Tom Penders in the 2006 NIT

They are only a Southern Miss or Arkansas State away from geographic contiguousness.

I posted this on the other thread but none of this makes sense IF the networks are trying to cut costs:
How are more schools able to join the big $$$ leagues when media deals are diminishing and the schools + donors are asked to pick up the bill,
I know I differ with many on here, but the huge post UT/OU realignment merry-go-round (all FBS levels) has led to MORE Power Schools and MORE FBS schools than before.
I thought the networks were trying to control their costs NOT increase them.
Houston goes from AAC $$ to Big 12 $$ which opens a door for RICE to go to AAC $$ from CUSA $$ which opens a door for Sam Houston to go to CUSA $$ from FCS $$.
On the flip side, the “we are running out of money” Networks promoted FIVE G5 schools to Power $$ (UH, UC, BYU, UCF , SMU) while only demoting TWO to G5 $$ (WSU, OSU).
How does this make sense, from a cost cutting standpoint?
The people funding the sports have a healthy revenue stream and profit ?
$16 billion
According to a new SEC filing, ESPN generated more than $16 billion in revenue and $2.9 billion in operating profit in Disney’s fiscal year 2022, which ended on Oct. 1, 2022. The bulk of that revenue and profit came from its domestic business at $14.6 billion and $2.81 billion, respectively.Oct 19, 2023
I was about to say, i don’t think there are any original members??
Wouldn’t they also need a Maryland school?
Not sure. I think Virginia borders Delaware on the Delmarva peninsula.
