Colorado State is easily one of the least attractive of all the potential Big 12 expansion candidates that have been floated out, keeping ahead of UConn thanks to simple geography. At least, that's how things are viewed by the national pundits (and a very vocal sect around here *cough*Panjandrum*cough*).
Around Bring on the Cats, the Rams have long been the butt of jokes regarding expansion, largely to goad Pan into a fit, but have recently become an actual serious candidate thanks to a perception that BYU may want a western travel partner should they get offered an invite, and the potential for locking down the Denver media market for future Big 12 Network considerations.
