Big 12 Expansion: Why NOT Memphis

Hey, someone has to say it.

Earlier, we talked with Christopher Hondros to get a cogent and meaningful argument in favor of the inclusion of Memphis in the Big 12. Now, it's time to tear that argument to pieces in the name of internet outrage. Sorry, Tiger fans. All seven of you.

Who's going to show up?

Let's get this out of the way right now: you know those jokes about Miami fans? Unless Memphis is threatening to win 11 games, the Liberty Bowl bears a remarkable resemblance to Sun Life Stadium. Data provided to the Memphis Flyer demonstrates this in more than adequate fashion: in 2012, the Tigers drew 67,181 fans.
