It’s the offseason, and the flurry of news college football fans generally deal with has slowed to a trickle. The league commissioners need something to complain about, so Big 12 expansion seems to be the issue of the day. The question is, should the league increase its numbers? Logically, it looks like expansion would be a disadvantage to the Big 12.
The league won the right to hold a conference championship game without having to expand, so adding teams would do nothing but change the identity of the conference. BYU, for example, has little in common with other members of the conference.
