On a recent podcast it was said that BYU will be TCU's main rival in the Big 12. Turns out there is a lot of bad blood between them from their days in the Mountain West Conference.
In the same podcast the speculation was on Pac 12 expansion although from a different prospective. Academics are very important and nearly all the schools vying for membership are Tier 2 research universities. Rice being the lone exception. The podcaster felt that it will be SDSU and UNLV. Regardless, he continued, none of the expansion candidates can be worse than the current lowest ranked school and that would be Washington State. LOL.
