THE SHOTGUN THROWDOWN: Expansion seems imminent for the Big 12 Conference

Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.

CONFERECE EXPANSION IS BACK ON THE MENU

According to a report yesterday ($) from Max Olson of The Athletic, the Big 12 has honed in BYU, Cincinnati, UCF and Houston as their top targets to help shore up the conference after Oklahoma and Texas announced their impending departure for the SEC.

While it’s not the perfect situation for West Virginia and we should continue to keep pitching ourselves to anyone that will listen, adding those four schools will go a long way in keeping the Big 12 positioned as a legitimate Power 5 conference.
